* Santorini Sightseeing

If you are vacationing in Santorini, you will have the opportunity to visit some of the finest historical monuments in Greece and to roam through utterly charming villages. Oia is a very picturesque settlement on the northern tip of Santorini, overlooking the sea and the Caldera. For some, Oia is one of the most beautiful villages in the Cyclades.

In Oia, you can visit the Maritime Museum, which contains a wide array of nautical instruments, maps, models, etc. In Fira, it is worth visiting the Archaeological, Folklore and Prehistoric Museums. Akrotiri, on the southern side of the island, is the location of the Akrotiri Archaeological Site, an ancient village that has been preserved through the ages. Close to Kamari and Perissa is the archaeological site of Thira, a Minoan City with the remains of various buildings.

* Oia, Santorini Beaches, Greece

While on Santorini Island, you will definitely spend your days at the beaches. Some of the Santorini beaches are famous for their colourful sand, including Black Beach in Kamari, Monolithos and Perissa, and the Red and White Beaches near Akrotiri.

You can reach Red beach two different ways:

  • Via a steep & narrow path, but it is worth every minute of it!
  • You may also hire a water taxi from Kamari or Perissa, which is the easiest way.

Apart from these beaches, visitors are offered clean waters at the beautiful Santorini beaches of Amoudi, Armeni, Vlychada, Vourvoulou, and Baxades.
