Holidays Santorini

Hilltop villages offer incredible views over this stunning Southern Aegean Island and the surrounding ocean. Whitewashed houses, blue skies, and brilliant light give Santorini an unmistakable Greek-island-glow.

The scenery has all the drama you might expect from an extinct volcanic island. What Santorini lacks in expansive sandy beaches, it more than makes up for in spectacular cliff-side swimming pools and ocean panoramas. Monolithos and Kamari are popular beaches, and the satellite islands of Thirassia, Palea and Nea Kameni, which can be reached by ferry from Fira, Firostefani and other resorts, offer more secluded spots.

July and August is high season, so expect places to be busy. With slightly cooler temperatures and fewer visitors, June is a great time to visit.

From sunrise to glorious sunset, it’s easy to while away time simply relaxing by a swimming pool; but there are plenty of things to see if you’re feeling more energetic. The capital, Fira is best known for designer outlets and it is well worth visiting for the cable car ride between the town and the old port which offers breath-taking views of solidified lava flows and rock formations. You could take a tour of the local wineries and source a crisp white to accompany your evening meal, or explore Akrotiri, the most important archaeological site in the Cyclades. The island is awash with sophisticated hotels and visitors are never far from top-notch fish restaurants and fashionable nightlife.
