Itinerary

1. The Red Beach of Santorini is one of the most famous and beautiful beaches, arguably in all of Greece. It is named for the iron-rich rocks in the cliff's face towering over the beach above you as well as the red sand.

   Passes by

2. Unlike the more famous Red Beach nearby, White Beach is accessible mainly by boat or a bit of hiking, so it tends to feel quiet and less crowded. The beach itself is made up of coarse sand and white pumice stones, giving it a wild and natural charm.

   Passes by

3. Mesa Pigadia is one of the isolated beaches of Santorini located around Akrotiri village, It has black pebbles and beautiful crystal clear waters. This beach is ideal for relaxation and to take a break from crowded beaches and villages. Like most of the beaches in the area, it is surrounded by beautiful cliffs. A stop for snorkeling and swimming is also welcome here!

   Passes by

4. In the lovely, tranquil village of Akrotiri, you can find the well-known lighthouse located on the extreme southwest part of the island, 18 kilometers away from the capital of Santorini. It is considered one of the best and most beautiful lighthouses in the Cyclades. Attuned to the rest of the island, it is an admirable building with whitewashed walls standing on the edge of a high cliff right above the sea. It is, by all means, an idyllic setting.

   Passes by

5. Aspronisi (literally meaning “White Island”) is a small uninhabited islet in the Santorini caldera, located between Therasia and the main island of Santorini. It was formed from volcanic activity thousands of years ago and is part of the same volcanic complex.

   Passes by

6. Palea Kameni has not erupted in modern times, but it still hosts thermal activity in the form of fumaroles. It’s considered dormant but active in a geological sense, as it shares the same magmatic system as Nea Kameni.

   Passes by

7. It is the larger of the two central islets and is the youngest land in Greece, created by eruptions between 1570 and 1950.

   Passes by

8. Hot Springs & Caldera Bay The volcanic eruption of the late 17th c. BC cut Therasia off from the rest of the landmass, showering it with billions of tons of magma that turned into pumice and ash, increasing its surface area to 9.3 square kilometers. At the same time, the caldera was formed – the sea ravine that links, but also separates, Therasia from its larger, cosmopolitan sister.

   Passes by

9. The beauty of Oia is unsurpassed. In fact, it is almost impossible to describe in words. Small white houses tier the hillside, interspersed by splashes of rich okra, deep fuchsia, cobalt blue, oyster pink, and earthy red. Smooth winding paths interconnect, interrupted now and then by a small church, and at every corner, there is something new to discover.

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.
