Santorini is a dream destination with stunning landscapes, whitewashed villages, and incredible sunsets. Much like the rest of Greece, you will also find some beautiful beaches to enjoy. However, many of these shores have volcanic black sands, creating a unique stay by the sea for many. The beaches here are also surrounded by breathtaking scenery and rugged landscapes.
Red Beach is a favoured spot, mainly due to its volcanic rocks that encompass the shore. This allows visitors to get a true sense of Santorini’s natural beauty, all whilst taking in the incredible coastal vistas. Spend your time here snorkelling, sunbathing or swimming in the crystal clear waters. It is also relatively easy to reach and has some excellent places to grab a bite to eat nearby, allowing visitors to enjoy the perfect day by the sea.
For a vibrant atmosphere, Perivolos is the place to be. Here you will find a shore made up of volcanic sand and pebbles. There are also some great facilities nearby, alongside watersports and plenty of eateries. Check out many of the other tranquil beaches such as White Beach, Eros Beach, Vourvoulos, plus many more.

Santorini has some excellent wines, thanks to its volcanic soil. We recommend trying a sunset wine tasting at Santo Wines or Venetsanos Winery.
Fira, the island's capital, offers dramatic views of the caldera (a large mostly submerged cauldron-like hollow formed shortly after a volcanic eruption, this is one of the most famous in the Aegean), cute streets, and great cafes. You can also walk from Fira to Oia along the scenic cliffside trail.
