Things to do in Santorini
The moment you step into Santorini, you feel that you will experience more than an ordinary vacation. This island is not just about beautiful landscapes; there is a different flavor, a different memory, a different experience hidden in every corner.
Watching the Sunset: Watching the sunset from Oia or Fira is one of the most impressive moments in Santorini. You can spend an unforgettable evening in cafes or at viewpoints, watching the sky turn from color to color.
Volcano Tour: You can go by boat to the volcanic islands in the center of the caldera, walk around the crater and enjoy swimming in the hot springs. Thirassia island is also visited during the tour.
Hiking and Trekking: The hiking route between Fira and Oia offers a wonderful trekking experience with breathtaking views. Chapels, cliffs and panoramic views of the Caldera accompany you along the way.
Sea Sports: You can participate in many activities such as kayaking, surfing and scuba diving at Perissa and Kamari beaches. You can easily sail by renting equipment on the beaches.
Visit Ancient Ruins: You can see the structures of the Minoan civilization in Akrotiri Ancient City and wander among the ruins from the Hellenistic and Roman periods in Ancient Thera.
Wine Tasting: You can taste Santorini wines made from original grapes grown in volcanic soils at wineries such as Santo Wines. Having this experience on a terrace overlooking the caldera is something else.

Dinner on Fishing Boats: You can enjoy fresh seafood in a romantic atmosphere by joining the over-sea dinner tours organized in the evening.
