Very expensive island!
In a nutshell
Wonderful Destination, Paradise On Earth
Fira, Imerovigli and Firostefani
125 Reviews Fira is the main town on Santorini and a very pretty place. Part of the town is sitting on steep cliffs and there is a superb view of the bay from there. the town itself is small town greece at it's very prettiest and i recommend people to stay there if the beach is not the main thing on their...
104 Reviews Like an enormous crescent moon, Santorini encloses the pure blue waters of its caldera, the core of an ancient volcano. Its two principal towns, Fira and Oia (also transliterated as Ia), perch at the summit of the caldera; as you approach by ship, bending back as far as possible to look as far up...
58 Reviews A very good swim, with a great surprise - no sand. No sand, but no rocks, too. The soil is so compact that we felt like in a tarmac surface - smooth but extremely hard. With a great surf, that could be dangerous, but we found a calm sea, and everything was safe.
51 Reviews Doesn’t the Caldera look lovely? What a romantic view. Ahhh… Wait! That is an active volcano that could explode at any moment and destroy large parts of Greece! It last erupted in 1950 and you can even get postcards with a photo of this. Good luck! The volcano first erupted in about the year 1,650...
26 Reviews It is a quiet village and enjoyable to wander around in. There is an old fortress at the top of the town which was destroyed during the earthquake in 1956. This was the site of the town and instead of restoring it they rebuilt the town below the fortress. You can still go up and wander around. From...
15 Reviews It's a very steep and long pathway from the harbour to the city, and the mules going up and down are a very typical sight. But the dirt, smells and flies didn't invite us. We preferred to use the common but effective funicular that runs beside the pathway. The guides (?) failed in all...

1 Review and 48 Opinions I stayed here in Dec `07...I was on the Island to film a car commercial and this place is open all...
77 Reviews While in Santorini, you must eat, and when you do, pick a Taverna that is on the edge of the cliffs of the caldera. Remember that the view is of a volcano's violent eruption. Not only is the food going to taste better, but the view is worth the price of the dessert. Many tourists gather in the...
28 Reviews “Greek night..................................................Brilliant!!!!!!!”- George and the rest of the staff at the restaurant welcomed our group over over 30 people for the brilliant greek night on Monday 12 September... Our party was in Santorini to celebrate our wedding. We couldn't have...
37 Reviews We had a lot of problems with the bus. Unfortunately, we were pretty limited in terms if transportation, however. We caught the express bus from Fira to head back to our hotel in Perivolos. I had several bags. The ticket collector, a young guy named Nico, was rather rude. He shoved through the crowd...
42 Reviews We made all connections in Greece by plane, except from Santorini to Mikonos. It was a very boring experience, wasting nine hours of our precious time in the sea, in a very basic boat, only with a short stop at Patmos to brake the tedium. Yachts around the islands may be one thing! A ferry is...
5 Reviews One of the most popular things tourists want to buy from Santorini besides local products is jewels. Prices are generally moderate and there are pieces available which are difficult to come by in other parts of the world. A popular and favourite shop is Nakis, offering a big collection of...
3 Reviews The town of Fira has all the basic shops required with a couple of small supermarkets, a bookshop (with some English titles) and the various other necessary bits and bobs but most of the main street is very upscale arts and craft, jewelry and designer clothes shops aimed, I should imagine, at the...
13 Reviews About 4,000 people a year, die, as a result of Quad, Motor Bikes and Cycles in Greece every single year. On Santorini alone, at least 20 tourist a season are killed on the roads. In Greece it is law, that you must have a motor cycle licence to ride scooters or motor bikes, it is also the law in the...
7 Reviews Hey, it looks like a lot of fun. Climb the 600 plus steps up the cliff to town, or take a cute mule ride. If you take the mule ride, look out for the flea bites. Tons and tons of fleas that call the mule you ride up, home. And they don't like your bothering their home, at least it feels that way,...
5 Reviews The sunsets in Santorini are awsome! However because of the crowds of people it is hard to enjoy them. The alleys are filled and people are found standing for hours waiting for the moment the sun sets. You can stay at one of the hotels facing the caldera and then you have the sunset all for yourself...
2 Reviews Since the volcano has no main crater, which would make a tour more spectacular, we have decided to take a ride just around Nea Kameni. However, most of the trips were offered only in package, where you visit the hot springs being not hot at all, in Palea Kameni and afterwards also Thirasia with a...
3 Reviews At Caldera Beach you will find the Diving centre. It is a small remote beach with traditional caves below the cliffs of Akrotiri. Ask to be transfered from your hotels here. Santorini Dive Center has an office also in Perissa village, at the southeast part of the island and is located in Perissa...
4 Reviews Perissa Beach is a beautiful black beach where one can leisurely pass the time away. It is recommended for all who just like to take life easy. Perissa Beach is easy to get to and the water there is magnificent. It is a great place to get a tan. If it gets too hot, just jump in the water and cool...
13 Reviews We arrived nearly midnight here at Fira. It was dark and there were locals leading us to the bus that takes everyone to the little town called Fira. We got on the bus and packed with young students so it made it even more fun. It was not such a long bus ride, as a matter of fact many where standing...
10 Reviews The present-day funny shape of the island is created by a huge eruption of the ancient supervulcano, which dates back more than three thousand years. The 30-40 kilometers high eruption cloud was seen from hundreds of kilometers and the thundering noise from the explosions must have been heard in...

Sunshine and Sunset in Santorini
We were fortunate to enjoy a hot week in May in Santorini - sending 4 nights in the village of Karterados, on the outskirts of Fira for the wonderful caldera views and 3 nights on the beach resort of...
Be careful about planning your trip to Santorini! I thought I was going to spend about 2 weeks in Greece, and I spent a month. Santorini (Thira) and the other islands are what made me change my plans....
