Santorini at a glance
A volcanic island in the southern Cyclades, wrapped around a sea-filled caldera left by an eruption about 3,600 years ago. White villages such as Fira and Oia sit along the cliff tops above the caldera. People come for the caldera views and sunsets, the Bronze Age town at Akrotiri, local wine and the dark volcanic beaches.
Known for
Oia Οία
The village at the island's northern tip, where crowds gather around the castle ruins to watch the sunset over the caldera.
Akrotiri archaeological site Ακρωτήρι
A Bronze Age town buried by the eruption, with multi-storey buildings you walk among under a modern roof.
Fira to Oia caldera path Μονοπάτι Φηρών–Οίας
About 10 km along the caldera rim through Firostefani and Imerovigli, roughly 3 to 4 hours, with an optional climb to Skaros Rock.
Santorini fava Φάβα Σαντορίνης
A smooth purée of the island's yellow split peas, served on most taverna menus alongside tomatokeftedes (tomato fritters).
Assyrtiko and Vinsanto wine Ασύρτικο / Βινσάντο
Assyrtiko is the island's native white grape; Vinsanto is a sweet wine made from sun-dried Assyrtiko, Athiri and Aidani grapes.
Getting there
Santorini Airport (JTR) is about 5 to 6 km from Fira. KTEL buses leave from outside arrivals for Fira's central bus station, about 10 to 25 minutes in traffic. Pay the driver in cash. Metered taxis wait outside arrivals, and private transfers can be booked ahead. Ferries dock at Athinios port, which has KTEL buses to Fira timed around arrivals.
Getting around
KTEL buses run from Fira's central bus station to Oia, Kamari, Perissa, Akrotiri and other villages; going between villages usually means changing in Fira. Many visitors rent a car or quad, or use taxis and transfers.
When to go
Roughly May to June and September to October, when it is warm but less crowded. July and August are the hottest and busiest months. Winters are mild and wetter; buses run less often and stop earlier from about October to April.
Local tip
The castle area in Oia fills up long before sunset in summer. For a calmer view, watch from Imerovigli or along the caldera path, or start the Fira to Oia walk in the early afternoon.
