THINGS TO DO

Santorini offers endless options for exploration and entertainment. Some of the most famous excursions and tours include sailing to the volcanic islets, hiking on scenic caldera paths, visiting traditional wineries and tasting local flavors produced by the island’s rich soil.

Sailing

Hop on a yacht or catamaran and enjoy a fascinating day sailing the deep blue waters of the Aegean. Starting from the picturesque port of Ammoudi Bay, located in Oia, you will sail to the volcanic islets, walk along the main crater, immerse yourself in the hot springs and admire the caldera from a vantage point. You can combine this sailing tour with a swim at a secluded beach or even diving, to discover the rich seabed of Santorini.

Hiking

There is nothing more refreshing than a good stroll, especially if there are amazing vistas along the way! Thankfully, Santorini is an ideal island to hike and there are many paths across the island, with the most famous being the caldera pathway that connects Oia with Fira. Walk on the rim of the caldera, visit quaint chapels, stop by picturesque villages to catch your breath and marvel at a breathtaking view over the sea and the volcanic islets throughout your stroll.

Wine-touring

Visiting a few of the most famous traditional Santorini wineries is a must on every visitor’s itinerary list. On this enchanting tour, you will get to know all about the island’s longstanding tradition in wine-making and sample a series of unique—and some of them internationally awarded—meta-volcanic wine varieties.

Gastronomy

Apart from the exquisite wines produced on the fertile land of Santorini, you should also try at least a few of its unique harvested products. Cherry tomatoes, fava (split beans), white eggplant,  caper and caper leaves, are one-of-a-kind-products that you may enjoy in delicious recipes at local taverns or restaurants—a true feast for all the senses!
