Santorini holidays: your guide to the island

Caldera views, volcanic beaches, wine and unforgettable sunsets – and how our luxury boutique hotel in Kamari helps you enjoy it all.

Why Santorini is a dream holiday destination

Santorini is one of the most famous islands in Greece and the Cyclades. Shaped by an ancient volcanic eruption, the island curves around a dramatic caldera, with whitewashed villages perched on cliffs high above the deep-blue Aegean Sea. It is a favourite for honeymoons, anniversaries, family holidays and trips with friends – a place where every evening ends with one of the most beautiful sunsets in the world.

Things to do in Santorini

Caldera sunsets

Watch the sun go down over the caldera from Oia, Imerovigli or Fira, or from the deck of a sunset cruise.

Volcanic beaches

Discover the black-sand beaches of Kamari and Perissa, and the striking cliffs of Red Beach.

Wine tasting

Taste Assyrtiko and the island's famous sweet Vinsanto at Santorini's traditional wineries.

Boat tours

Sail to the volcano, swim in the hot springs and explore hidden coves around the caldera.

History & culture

Best time to visit Santorini

The main holiday season runs from spring to autumn. May, June, September and October offer warm weather and a more relaxed pace, while July and August are the hottest and liveliest months – perfect for beach days and long summer evenings.

Getting to and around Santorini

Santorini has an international airport with flights from Athens and many European cities, and ferries arrive at Athinios port from Piraeus and the other Cycladic islands. Renting a car, ATV or scooter is the easiest way to explore the island at your own pace, and local buses connect the main villages and beaches.
