Detailed itinerary
1
Oia (pronounced I-a), the most photographed village in Santorini, hardly needs an introduction. Located on the northern point of the island, it is known for its magical sunsets and the village includes traditional cave houses, as well as captain houses, hotels, restaurants, cafes and boutiques.
2
«Located on the caldera, a couple of kilometres from the island's capital, Fira, Imerovigli is a picturesque little village that offers splendid views over the caldera and the sea.
Boasting hotels, cafes and restaurants, as well as charming churches overlooking the sea, Imerovigli is home to the Skaros, an impressive rock where ruins of a medieval castle now stand. A cheaper alternative than Oia, Imerovigli is definitely a must-see, especially if you want to chase the sunset without the crowds.»
3
Pyrgos, the former capital of the island, allows for spectacular vistas of the island. Consisting of traditional houses built around the Venetian castle, it is adorned with meandering alleys that follow the natural flow of the area.
Built amphitheatrically on the hill, the village boasts several churches, but the most impressive one is certainly the Monastery of Profitis llias, located on top of the mountain of the same name.

Located on the southwestern tip of the island, the Akrotiri Lighthouse is one of the most beautiful sites in Santorini that offers impressive views.
