Begin your day by exploring the picturesque town of Fira, the capital of Santorini. Walk around and take in the stunning views of the Caldera. Next, head to the charming village of Oia, known for its white-washed houses and blue-domed churches, and watch the sunset from the Oia Castle.
Spend your day at the black-sand Perissa Beach, which offers water sports activities and seaside bars for refreshments. In the evening, head back to Fira and enjoy the nightlife scene at the pubs, clubs and cocktail bars along the main street.
Begin the day with a wine tasting experience at SantoWines, where you can sample some of the best wines produced in Santorini. Afterwards, take a boat trip from the old port in Fira and explore the nearby volcanic islands, hot springs and beaches.
Transportation in Santorini can be by car, bus or taxi. Renting a car is recommended if you want to explore the island at your own pace. The cost of renting a small car starts at €30 per day. Public buses operate daily from Fira to the major villages, and the cost is €2 per ride. Taxi rides start at €5 and the cost of a ride from Fira to the airport is €15.
If you have extra time, consider visiting the Akrotiri archaeological site, a Minoan town buried during the Theran eruption, or the Red Beach, famous for its red volcanic sand.
