About Santorini
Santorini is the Instagram postcard come to life — white-washed buildings, blue domes, cliffside sunsets, and wine terraces. It's absurdly touristy and expensive, but it's stunning. Skip Oia for sunset (too crowded) and go to Imerovigli instead. Beaches are volcanic black sand, not tropical. Rent an ATV to explore.
- •Oia sunset (get there 2 hours early or skip for Imerovigli)
- •Wine tasting at Santo Wines or Venetsanos
- •Red Beach or Perissa (black sand beaches)
- •Akrotiri archaeological site (ancient Minoan city)
