Santorini is the most famous Greek island and one of the most photographed destinations in the world — a volcanic caldera, white cubic houses with blue domes, and the celebrated sunsets in the village of Oia make it truly iconic. The Akrotiri archaeological site reveals a Minoan city buried by a volcanic eruption 3,600 years ago. Volcanic black and red beaches, local wineries featuring Assyrtiko wine, and authentic Greek cuisine complete the experience. One of the most coveted romantic destinations in the Mediterranean.

Everything you need for Santorini in one place
The most famous settlement on Santorini, recognized for its white houses, blue domes, and position on the northern part of the island. From its promenades and terraces, visitors enjoy views of the volcanic lagoon, the island's cliffs, and the Aegean Sea. Oia is one of the main symbols of Santorini and one of the most visited parts of the island.
An ancient city founded in the 9th century BC on top of Mesa Vouno mountain, at an elevation of 369 meters. The site encompasses the remains of Hellenistic, Roman, and Byzantine structures, including temples, an agora, and a theater. It also offers exceptional views of both ends of the island.
A Minoan Bronze Age settlement buried under volcanic ash following the great eruption of Santorini around 1600 BCE, which is why it is often referred to as the 'Greek Pompeii'. Exceptionally well-preserved multi-story buildings, streets, drainage systems, and frescoes offer insight into one of the most advanced civilizations in the Aegean of that era. The entire site is today protected by a modern roofed structure that allows visits throughout the year.
The largest city of Crete, home to the famous palace of Knossos, one of the most important archaeological sites in Europe and the center of Minoan civilization.
