Wander the marble lanes, browse the galleries and boutiques, hunt down the perfect photo, or settle in for a long lunch with a caldera view. On the way back, your driver makes a short stop at the legendary Three Bells of Firostefani — the blue-domed church framed against the caldera that you've seen on every Santorini postcard — for that unmissable photo. Then it's a smooth, comfortable drop-off in Fira.

About Santorini
Santorini is a crescent of volcanic cliffs in the Aegean, where whitewashed villages and blue domes look over a flooded caldera to famous sunsets.
The island is the rim of an ancient volcano whose eruption left a vast caldera filled by the sea. On its edge, Fira, the main town, and the clifftop villages of Imerovigli and Firostefani cling to the slopes, while Oia, at the northern tip, is celebrated for its sunset views over windmills and whitewashed houses.
Top-ranked sights in Santorini: Red Beach, White Beach, Santorini Volcano.
