Santorini is renowned for the blue roofs of its cliff-side houses, which are painted in dazzling white. If you’re in need of a romantic getaway this is the place. See the sunset at Oia, visit the several historical places, or explore the luscious vineyards. Over the last few years traveling to Santorini has become much more common. While Santorini can be touristy, it can also be surprisingly cheap if you can avoid the peak of the summer season.
The best things to do in Santorini include walking along or boating in the beautiful caldera, touring wineries, and visiting the quaint villages all over the island. You can also hang out on the beaches of Santorini, visit the museum of prehistoric Thira, hike from Fira to Oia, or visit the Akrotiri Lighthouse.
The shoulder seasons of Santorini (April through May, and September through November) are the best times to visit the island. The Mediterranean weather is good all year round, and in the shoulder seasons you’ll still get mild temperatures but without the crowds of visitors and inflated prices. Santorini is the supermodel of the Greek islands, and a head-turner whose image can be recognized instantly around the world. Be sure to pack your Sandra Monokini in “Santorini” which was inspired by the dazzling white buildings that was most recognizable in this destination. Whatever you do, don’t miss out the beauty Santorini has to offer!
