Firostefani - Firostefani provides the same stunning view of the Caldera as the capital, but in a more serene and relaxed setting. It’s an excellent place to stay, being just a 15-minute walk from the center of Fira, allowing easy access to the vibrant nightlife while still offering tranquility. The coastal path between Firostefani and Fira is a beautiful and popular walk, especially in the cooler early morning or evening hours. The village itself boasts numerous restaurants, bars, and shops along the main street, so even if you choose not to leave the resort, everything you need is conveniently nearby. However, with Fira so close, it’s worth visiting at least once. Firostefani is ideal for couples seeking to explore the Caldera while enjoying a peaceful holiday. It is not recommended for children, as it is a 20-minute drive from the beach, and there is limited entertainment for toddlers.

Imerovigli - Imerovigli, one of Santorini’s most impressive villages, has stood on the highest point of the caldera since Byzantine times. The early settlement of Skaros is believed to have been established in 1207 by the Venetian James Varotsi, who received Santorini after the Crusaders conquered Constantinople in 1204. The modern village overlooks an impressive volcano about 300 meters above sea level and is located approximately 2 km northwest of Fira on the road to Oia. Besides the paved road, a path connects the village to Santorini’s capital, offering endless views of the unique volcanic landscape. Today, Imerovigli is a well-developed tourist destination in Santorini, featuring first-class hotels, restaurants, and shops. It attracts tens of thousands of visitors from around the world each year.
-
Oia - Head to the northern part of the island to experience the best of Oia village. Known for its spectacular sunsets, iconic blue-domed churches, and panoramic views, Oia is one of the most photographed places in Greece. Perched atop an impressive cliff, it offers breathtaking views of the volcano.
-
Monastery of Profitis Ilias - Ascend to the Monastery of Prophet Elijah to enjoy the most spectacular view from the island’s highest point. From this vantage point, you can admire stunning views of the Aegean coast. The mountain’s name, Profitis Ilias (Prophet Elijah), is derived from the monastery built on its summit in 1711. In this serene setting, you can also sample wine and local products prepared by the monks residing in the monastery.
-
Megalochori - Traditional Village - Megalochori’s sights include two impressive churches in the village’s central square. The Church of the Introduction of the Blessed Virgin Mary features a wooden iconostasis and Byzantine icons of the Russian school, while the Church of Agia Anargiri celebrates a major holiday on July 1. The village has been mentioned in written sources since the mid-17th century and appears on an 1801 map. Findings in the broader area indicate habitation since the early and late Cycladic periods.
-
Emporio - Emporio is the largest settlement on Santorini, located 12 km from Fira. Unlike the cosmopolitan settlements of Fira and Oia above the caldera, Emporio is situated at the foot of the mountain of Prophet Elias. The name Emporio, meaning trade, reflects the village’s historical economic significance as a trade center. Its well-preserved architecture exudes a medieval aura, resembling a fortress built to protect inhabitants from pirates. As piracy ceased, the village expanded to its current layout. At the heart of Emporio is Kasteli, a unique castle town with walls made of cement and volcanic materials.
-
Red Beach - Red Beach is a striking, colorful beach aptly named for its towering red rocks and reddish sand with black pebbles. This unique landscape is a testament to the island’s volcanic activity. The best view of the beach is from the top of the cliff, offering a stunning photo opportunity.

Akrotiri Archaeological Site - Explore the Akrotiri ruins to discover Santorini’s Minoan era. The Akrotiri Archaeological Site is housed in a large, bright building. The city was covered by a 40-meter-thick ash layer, requiring extensive excavation to reach the original street level. A path leads through reconstructed houses, showcasing details like the original Minoan toilet and a stone bath.

Kamari Beach - Kamari village in Santorini is located on the seashore, boasting one of the most beautiful beaches on the east coast. Situated 9 kilometers from Fira, it lies next to the airport and the mountain of Mesta. As one of the largest villages in Santorini, with about 1300 residents, the beach is considered by many to be the island’s most popular. Kamari is one of the most modern villages, having undergone significant reconstruction after the 1956 earthquake when many residents of Episkopi-Gonia relocated here. Nearby, atop Mount Mesta, are the ruins of ancient Tyre, one of the island’s two major archaeological sites, along with the prehistoric settlement of Akrotiri. Visitors can reach the ancient Shooting Gallery by donkey. The ruins of the old seaside town And I, once the harbor of Ancient Tyre, are now submerged in the sea around this area.
-
Fira - Fira has been Santorini’s capital since the 18th century and is the island’s most cosmopolitan settlement. Previously, the capital was Skaros in Imerovigli, one of the island’s citadels. As Skaros was gradually abandoned, inhabitants moved to Fira, establishing it as the new capital. Located in the middle of the island’s western part, Fira sits directly above the caldera, opposite the volcano, offering stunning sunset views. The city is characterized by picturesque alleys, whitewashed houses carved into the caldera’s foot, numerous breathtaking viewpoints, rich history, and enchanting beauty. The volcano is visible from any point, and the sunsets are mesmerizing.
