Santorini

What you need to know before you go

The idyllic island of Santorini has long haunted the popular imagination, leading tourists to flock towards its labyrinthine alleys, blood-orange sunsets, and blue-domed churches. It even prompted Plato to contemplate the legend of Atlantis’s lost paradise. Santorini has its share of sightseers, but it remains unspoilt and breathtaking – an island of churches, beaches, light, and wine. Touring the Red Beach and archeological sites at Akrotiri is a great way to spend an afternoon, and action-seekers can cliff-jump at Amoudi Bay. Those wanting to relax will find plenty of restaurants and nightlife, as well as some of the most stunning sunsets in the world.
