9 Places to Visit in Santorini + Things To Do

Santorini is a beautiful island located in the Southern Aegean Sea. Santorini is a very popular honeymoon destination and a picturesque island loved by explorers and photographers around the world.

The Island is packed with amazing adventures and exciting things to do. The white Cycladic homes, mountains, and breathtaking sunset views make Santorini renowned. This Greek Island is a heaven for adventurers as well as thrill seekers, thanks to ATV rides, the trip from Fira to Oia, the strenuous hike to Skaros Rock, scuba diving, cliff jumping, and several other outdoor pursuits. You can take opulent boat tours through the Aegean Sea as you pass the beautiful towns on Santorini. If you just want to chill, head to the sun loungers and umbrellas along the palm-lined beaches.

To get to Santorini Island, the best way is to catch a 40 minutes flight from Athens International Airport. You can also go by ferry, which may take about 4 hours from Athens.
