About Santorini

This popular Greek island is ideal for rest and relaxation where the beaches and hills are peaceful, as it's volcano...at the moment.

It is one of the Cyclades islands and is know for its mixture of coloured beaches, having red and white as well as the black pebble shoreline at Kamari. The beaches at Perissa is a must go and eat fresh seafood at a taverna.

A Santorini Saunter by Car

One rewarding drive begins in Fira and heads south toward Akrotiri. Leaving Fira, the road passes through the villages of Pyrgos and Megalochori, with views of vineyards, whitewashed houses, and the caldera in the distance. Pyrgos sits on a hill and offers a chance to stop and walk through narrow alleys and reach the old castle ruins. Megalochori is quieter, with traditional architecture and shaded courtyards.

Continuing south, the road leads to the archaeological site of Akrotiri, an ancient city preserved in volcanic ash. Nearby is the Red Beach, known for its colored cliffs and dark sand. The drive itself is short but includes varied terrain and access to both cultural sites and coastal views. From Akrotiri, the road can loop east toward the village of Emporio and then north to Kamari. This section passes through farmland and low hills before reaching the black sand beaches of the east coast.

Roads on Santorini are paved and easy to follow, though some village streets are narrow. Traffic is heavier near Fira and Oia, especially in summer, but lighter in the southern and eastern parts of the island. Fuel stations are available in all major towns. The route from Fira to Akrotiri, Emporio, and Kamari offers a balanced view of Santorini beyond the usual sunset spots. For drivers looking to explore more than just the caldera edge, this loop gives access to history, beaches, and quiet villages.

Some towns you need to put on your schedule, apart from Oia and Fira are too may to mention, for their cliffs, sunsets and beaches.

If a fan of bag-pipe music, and the idea of hearing the pipes wafting of the air and your Greek salad and red wine, then go to La Ponta.
