Top landmarks in Santorini

Learn more about Santorini

Clinging to the rim of an ancient volcano, whitewashed villages cascade down dramatic cliffs toward the impossibly blue Aegean. Wander the narrow cobblestone lanes of Oia, where every turn reveals another perfect view framed by blue-domed churches. The black sand beaches of Kamari and Perissa offer swimming spots unlike any other, with volcanic mountains rising behind sunbathers. Take a boat tour across the caldera to the smoldering islet where the volcano still steams and bubbles. Wine lovers shouldn't miss Santo Wines, where tastings come with sunset views that explain why artists have been drawn here for centuries. For history buffs, the remarkably preserved Bronze Age settlement at Akrotiri reveals a sophisticated civilization frozen in time by the ancient eruption.

Beautiful Oia town on Santorini island, Greece. Traditional white architecture  and greek orthodox churches with blue domes over the Caldera, Aegean sea. Scenic travel background.
