7Santorini: The Jewel of the Cyclades

Santorini is one of the most photographed islands in the world, known for its whitewashed buildings, blue-domed churches, and spectacular sunsets. Oia, a picturesque village on the island’s northern tip, is the best place to witness Santorini’s famous sunset. The town’s winding paths lead to stunning viewpoints that overlook the caldera.

Fira, the island’s capital, offers a vibrant mix of nightlife, shopping, and excellent dining. Santorini’s volcanic origin has given it unique beaches. Red Beach, near Akrotiri, features dramatic red cliffs, while Perissa and Kamari are known for their black sand shores. Santorini’s volcanic soil produces unique wines, particularly the white Assyrtiko variety. A visit to a local vineyard, such as Santo Wines, offers breathtaking views and a chance to sample exquisite Greek wines.
