About Santorini

Santorini, with its iconic whitewashed buildings, stunning sunsets, and crystal-clear waters, is a jewel of the Aegean Sea that enchants travelers from around the world. Known for its breathtaking beauty and rich history, this idyllic island offers a plethora of experiences for every type of visitor. 

Whether you’re wandering through the charming streets of its villages or taking in the panoramic views from its cliffs, Santorini is a destination like no other. Santorini is perhaps the island with the most breathtaking views in the world, full of mesmerizing images and attractions. 

The best way to explore the island's diverse offerings is through a guided tour, which provides invaluable insights and ensures you don’t miss any of its hidden gems. From romantic catamaran cruises to immersive food tours, there are various options available to suit every interest and preference.

Located in the southern Aegean Sea, about 200 km (120 miles) southeast of Greece's mainland, Santorini is the largest island of a small, circular archipelago that shares its name. It forms the southernmost member of the Cyclades group of islands. 

Santorini is essentially what remains after an enormous volcanic explosion that destroyed the earliest settlements on a formerly single island, creating the current geological caldera. Another popular theory holds that the Thera eruption is the source of the legend of Atlantis.
