Out-of-this-world sunsets? Tick. Stunning sea views? Tick. Pretty whitewashed towns? Tick! Sensational Santorini is an all-round winner. Its white and blue villages that cling to the cliffside overlook an enchanting caldera, while below, the turquoise Aegean waters meet a crisp-white shore. Romantic Greek escapes this way…

Oia and the capital, Thira, are two of the island’s most popular resorts. You’ll be blown away once you see them in real life and understand why visitors return year after year. Oia sits on the island’s northern tip, overlooking a vast caldera, while Thira is more central and enjoys the hustle and bustle of island life.
World-renowned Greek fare is made even better with a few Santorini specials. Pomegranates thrive in this sun-drenched region, so expect these tiny red jewels to feature in many of your meals. The rich volcanic soil also gives you the chance to sample white aubergine. It’s bright-white in colour and much sweeter than its purple counterpart.
Thanks to it volcanic past, Santorini’s sand beaches vary in colour from black to burnt orange. Many of these spots are framed by breathtaking cliffs, creating the perfect backdrop to a day of swimming and sunbathing. The darker sand gets extremely hot in the midday sun, so don’t forget to pop on your sandals!
With front-row views of Santorini’s iconic caldera, Imerovigli places you on a panoramic platform for catching apricot-tinged Aegean sunsets.
Cool Kamari sits on Santorini’s east coast, just north of soaring Mount Mesa Vouno. This traditional Greek village is lined with an ashy-black shore and is one of the island’s buzzier spots.
On the west side of the island, tucked into Santorini’s hinterland, you’ll find teeny Megalachori. Bright white buildings gleam under the sun, with contrasting doors and shutters painted in sapphire blue in a nod to the Aegean that laps Santorini.
If you’re after easy-going vibes, low-key bars and basking in the sun, Perissa is for you.
This peaceful coastal town is nestled on the south-eastern seafront of Santorini, and merges into the neighbouring resort of Perissa.
You’ll recognise it from nearly every postcard you’ll see of Santorini – Fira, the island’s capital, is breathtaking.

Grilled meats, freshly-netted seafood and sundried cherry tomatoes are all menu favourites in Santorini. But it doesn’t stop there on this island – expect locally-grown pomegranates to feature heavily as a garnish too. What’s more, white aubergine is a native vegetable that’s worth a try.

Are casual cocktails up your street? Eager for an ice-cold beer on the beach? You can easily do both. Some of the island’s bars are low-key and atmospheric, while others will be a bit livelier. You’ll also find a sprinkling of jazz bars around, if saxophone-filled soirées are your bag.
