A combined folkloric museum and old distillery (also known as Canava Santorini) tucked in a traditional cave winery in Kontochori near Fira. This small museum-distillery is often empty of tourists, yet rich in local heritage with antique winemaking equipment, house-made raki tastings, and evening film projections.
Standing 19 meters tall on Mykonos' northern coast, this octagonal lighthouse was built in 1891 following the tragic sinking of the steamship Volta. The lighthouse offers spectacular sunset views and panoramic vistas of the Cyclades islands, making it one of Mykonos' most romantic spots.
A heart-shaped hole naturally eroded into a cliff near the village of Megalochori, overlooking the caldera. This hidden viewpoint is truly off the beaten path, reached via a dirt trail past a small chapel. Through the heart-shaped frame, you see the blue sea and volcano - a perfect photo spot and romantic vista.
NeighborhoodsA picturesque traditional village dating back to the 17th century, renowned for its preserved Cycladic architecture and historical mansions with high walls and solid wooden doors built to protect against pirates. You will wander through cobblestone streets lined with neoclassical buildings, wine canavas, and shaded squares perfect for authentic Greek coffee. This vineyard country produces world-famous Vinsanto wine and offers tranquil alternatives to crowded tourist areas.
ShoppingA bustling shopping hub offering diverse boutiques, souvenir shops, and local artisan stores within iconic white-washed architecture.
A tiny cove with stark white cliffs and clear waters, tucked next to the famous Red Beach on Santorini's south coast. Unlike Red Beach which gets crowded, White Beach is difficult to reach - accessible only by boat or a steep hike - which keeps the crowds away.
IslandA virgin island untouched by tourism, located right next to Santorini but remaining authentic to what Santorini used to look like decades ago. Only 9 sq. km in size with 150 permanent inhabitants. Features two ports (Riva/Agia Irini main port and Korfos smaller port) and villages including Manolas (capital), Korfos, Riva, and Potamos.
NeighborhoodsA picturesque hilltop village known for its traditional Cycladic architecture and spectacular sunset views. Often called the 'balcony to the Aegean,' Imerovigli offers a more peaceful alternative to bustling Fira while maintaining equally breathtaking caldera vistas.
AttractionsA breathtaking Greek island with iconic whitewashed buildings, cascading cliffs, and mesmerizing sunsets.
AttractionsThe legendary archaeological site of a Bronze Age Minoan settlement, preserved in volcanic ash from the massive eruption around 1600 BCE. Often called the 'Pompeii of the Aegean,' this remarkably well-preserved ancient city offers insights into sophisticated Minoan civilization.
A small family-operated farm store near the Akrotiri lighthouse that offers tastings and occasional cooking classes. Part shop, part cultural experience, visitors can sample Santorini's famous agricultural products including sun-dried tomatoes, fava beans, and local wine in a laid-back rural setting.
Mykonos Town, also known as Chora, is a charming labyrinth of narrow marble streets lined with whitewashed houses, blue-domed churches, flowing bougainvillea, and vibrant shops, cafes, and restaurants. The town features the iconic Little Venice quarter with its colorful houses built right at the sea's edge, and the famous windmills that have become a trademark of the island.
