The southernmost island of Cyclades with her unique volcano, that shaped the island’s fate, offers unique life experiences.

Visit the Volcano
A little boat will first take you to visit Nea Kameni where you can walk until you reach the volcano’s crater. The majestic view towards caldera and its houses from every part of the isle will reward you. Next you will visit Palia Kameni with its hot springs where you can swim if you’d like.
Hiking in Santorini
Wisely carved on the island’s terrain, Santorini’s paths extend from Oia until the prehistoric lava of Akrotiri and from the old port of Fira until the sandy beach of Perissa. Through them, you will delight in the caldera’s unique view, you will cross traditional inland villages and you will discover secluded beaches even in the heart of summer.
Visit the prehistoric town of Akrotiri
One of the most important Aegean centers in the prehistoric era. The first installations in Akrotiri date back to the Later Neolithic Age (at least 4000 b.c.). Life in the city ended abruptly in the last quarter of the 17th century b.c. when the people living there decided to leave because of very strong earthquakes. The volcanic eruption soon followed. The material of the volcano which covered the city and the whole island have protected until today the buildings and everything inside them, just like in Pompeii.
Enjoy the sunset of Oia
An experience that words can’t describe, but everybody lives to the full. For a few minutes you will feel the energy of the place. And when the sun sets on the Aegean Sea, you will have taken this sunset along, and you will carry it with you forever.
Scuba diving
The depths of Santorini are ideal for diving, offering very impressive scenery. Among many others, a great place for diving is cape Tripiti in Therasia and Taxiarchis with the shipwreck, in Palia Kameni.
Wine tour
The volcano of Santorini has created a breathtaking landscape and a unique ecosystem, in which Santorini’s vineyard has adopted in the best way possible. There is a reason after all for the well-known expression “Santorini is the island that has more wine than water”.
