Santorini

Whitewashed villages, volcanic cliffs, Aegean sunsets and beautiful days that seem designed to be taken slowly.

Plan My Santorini Escape
The Aegean, From Above

Santorini Is More Than the Blue Domes.

The famous white villages are only the beginning. Santorini is shaped by its volcanic history, with dramatic caldera cliffs, dark and red beaches, centuries-old vineyards and tiny villages looking out over the Aegean.

Why Santorini?

Romantic, Volcanic and Completely Unmistakable.

01

Caldera Views

White villages cling to volcanic cliffs high above one of the Aegean's most dramatic natural landscapes.

02

Iconic Sunsets

Oia is world famous for sunset, but beautiful evening views appear all along the caldera.

03

Volcanic Character

Red cliffs, dark beaches, hot springs and volcanic vineyards make Santorini unlike other Greek islands.

The Famous Village

Oia

Oia is Santorini's postcard: whitewashed homes, blue domes, narrow lanes and buildings carved into the caldera cliffs.

Come early for quiet streets, stay for dinner, and experience the famous sunset at least once.

Santorini Highlights

Four Completely Different Sides of the Island.

Wander

Lose Track of Time in Oia

Follow the white lanes, find a quiet terrace and let the caldera keep distracting you.

Volcanic Coast

See Red Beach

Santorini's volcanic history creates a shoreline of dramatic red cliffs and dark volcanic sand.

Taste

Drink Santorini Wine

Visit a vineyard, taste crisp Assyrtiko and discover how vines grow in volcanic soil.

On the Water

Sail the Caldera

Spend an afternoon on the Aegean, swim beneath volcanic cliffs and watch Santorini from below.

Beneath the Villages

The Volcano Created the View.

Santorini's famous shape comes from its enormous volcanic caldera. The cliffs surrounding the submerged crater are what create the dramatic views from Oia, Fira and Imerovigli.

A boat trip can take you toward the volcanic islets, hot springs and the quieter island of Thirasia.

Grown From the Volcano

Santorini Wine Tastes Like the Island.

Santorini's volcanic soil and strong winds have shaped a wine culture unlike anywhere else.

Assyrtiko is the island's signature grape, known for its bright acidity and mineral character. Vineyards traditionally train the vines into low basket-like shapes to protect the grapes from the Cycladic wind and sun.
