Santorini: a dazzlingly beautiful island in Greece. We have identified it in our minds as a romantic place for couples, which it obviously is, but it is not just that, Santorini is an emblematic destination for everyone! Every year Santorini also hosts hundreds of families and single travellers. Discover its iconic whitewashed villages on the edge of the cliff, enjoy the image of the blue domes embraced by the flowering bougainvillea trees. The sunset and the view are for everyone!
Would you like to go on a romantic trip with your partner? Would you like to meet new people and live unique moments? Would you like to visit with your family the unique beaches with dark sand and take a dip from a boat with a wonderful view? Whatever you have in mind, you have chosen the ideal island that combines everything!
Where you choose to stay while in Santorini is an important choice to make before planning your trip. While the caldera is well known for its stunning views and instagrammable sunsets, there is much more to Santorini than JUST the caldera. Depending on what kind of trip you are planning and if you are by yourself, with your significant other or with the whole family we have our recommendations for the best place to stay.
Fira (or Thera) is the beautiful capital of the island and the largest and most cosmopolitan settlement of Santorini. It is located at the western end of the island, opposite the volcano and the two small volcanic islands of Palea Kammeni and Nea Kammeni. It has a great combination of natural beauty and social activities, with many restaurants, cafes & bars, major museums, many boutiques, souvenir shops, entertainment venues, and a vibrant nightlife. Fira is located in the center of Santorini, and everything is close by.
Fira is the perfect spot for single travellers exactly because of its cosmopolitan nature. Explore the shops and museums by day and come the night you may just suddenly find yourself in the middle of a big party! The options for nightlife are numerous and more than in any other part of the island, take advantage of it! The accommodation options in Fira are also suitable for all types of visitors. You can choose from a luxury hotel with fantastic views to a simple hostel or even the camping site for nature lovers. And of course the view of the Caldera is magnificent both day and night!
Oia is a traditional settlement of Santorini and is considered one of the most picturesque places in Greece, with a strong traditional character and is world-famous for its sunset. It is a peaceful and idyllic place that comes alive in the afternoon during sunset. It is an ideal place for couples because it combines a peacefulness not found in Fira with the romance of uninterrupted caldera view and that indescribable Santorini sunset.
Enjoying that sunset during a wonderful dinner with good wine above the caldera will surely seduce you (and your partner!). Walk hand in hand through the alleys and capture your special moments on camera in the most photogenic corner of Santorini. Oia has several options for restaurants and luxury hotels but if you want an intense night of club fun you should go to Fira which is only 11 km away.
Kamari is a seaside village of Santorini, located at the foot of Mesa Vouno where the famous archeological site of Ancient Thera is located. It is on the east side of the island, at a distance of 9 km from Fira and not far from the Santorini Airport. It is a village where you and your family will not be bothered by the crowds as even in the summer months when the island is full, Kamari is comfortably quiet and there is parking everywhere.
The beach in Kamari is ideal for swimming and has been awarded the Blue Flag. It is an organised beach with a lifeguard for peace of mind and options for food and drink are plentiful along the promenade. The paved coastal road is ideal for a walk that is parallel to the beach and stretches along the bay for magnificent views and is closed to cars and motorbikes during the summer months. There are many hotels in Kamari, all close to the beach and ranging from budget to luxury options.
In Santorini there are many different entertainment options for all visitors. Individual and group activities that will fill your day in the best possible way.
