Itinerary

1. Our first stop will be at Red Beach’s. The locations landscape is truly unique: Dark blue waters, with the mountain towering above them, crimson and black, combining a unique landscape. This interesting and special morphological character puts the Red Beach among the fascinating shores in the world.

   15 min

2. Then we stop at the lighthouse of Akrotiri. Very beautiful panoramic view on the edge of the cliff. From the most beautiful spots of the island. It's worth a stop!

   10 min

3. Our next stop is Vlychada beach. Vlychada beach is maybe the most captivating beach on the island, Vlychada will give you the sense of being on a... trip to the moon. Long and covered with black, thick sand and crystal-clear waters that deepen suddenly - almost on your second step - while the majestic, tall, white rocks circling it bestow it with a lunar visage.

   15 min

4. As we move on we stop at Castelli of Emporio. Above the largest village of Santorini, Emporio, is the hill of Gavrilos. Along its ridge stands 9 traditional windmills. The hill offers a location with very beautiful open view, which is suitable for interesting pictures.

   15 min

5. Then we go to one of the most serene and beautiful gems of the island. Megalochori is a traditional little village that will steal your heart with its unique aesthetics. Here, everything seems to have leapt out of a painting, while respect to tradition demands everywhere absolute silence.

   15 min

6. Another amazing stop will be at the Monastery of Prophet Ilias. The route to go to the monastery and enjoy the view of the island is amazing. As soon as you reach the end of the hill you notice that the whole island appears at your feet. It is the highest point of the island

   10 min

7. Our final stop is Oia. It lies around 30 minutes by road from Firostephani, and it will truly bewitch you being overwhelming indeed. The main road divides it into two territories: the one, towards Caldera, has impressive underground edifices, while the other is adorned with captain-houses (capetanospita). At the settlement’s side lies the castle, with its remaining parts offering unique views of the infinite blue and the famous sunset. Here we spent 1.5 hours

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.
