No need to say much about the beauty of Santorini. It is ,after all, the most beautiful island in the Aegean, with it's caldera, caves, prehistoric settlement, it's winding streets, it's pools that pours into the cliffs, Skaros and Imerovigli, unique wines, tomatoes and a thousand other things that you can enjoy. I will suggest to you what I really enjoyed and recommend it to all Alternatripers of the world.
-
If you stay somewhere, surely this should be located in Imerovigli definitely be underground and has a pool. It's worth staying broke and eating bread and cheese for the next month, for it.
-
The sunset is great from Fira and Oia, but much better in the chapel in front of Skaros, in Imerovigli. If you want to be squeezed and applaud the sun falling into the sea then you need to go to Oia.
-
After the shock from the big crowd that you will feel in Fira, Firostefani, Oia, Perivolos and Perissa, you would like to go somewhere to hide and the most fitting places for staying incognito are the villages of Pyrgos, Megalochori and Akrotiri.
-
I strongly and openly suggest to take the hiking path from Oia to Imerovigli, crossing the caldera from village to village, but if you find it difficult or its too hot, you can take the nightfall path Imerovigli - Fira. Simply amazing stroll.
-
You would definitely go to the Museum of Prehistoric Thira which is located in Fira. There is stuffed a brilliant civilization flourished 1700 bc with amphorae, paintings, jewelry, monkeys, color mosaic and women curly hair and protruding breasts. After you're done here can go straight for the archaeological site of Akrotiri to see where all this civilization had lived. It has stayed intact since been covered by lava and have revealed only 10% of its size. You will get amazed!
-
On the way to the archaeological site, you can stop outside the village, at the potteries where you can get gorgeous ceramic replicas like the ones you will see in the Museum of Prehistoric Thera.
-
You should see all Kastellia and Gouliades the island. The former are castles and Gouliades are the towers of the island. Head for Pyrgos, Akrotiri and Emporio.
-
To reach the top of the island and see a magnificent sunset, you should take the road to the Monastery of Prophet Elias. Yes it is all the way up the mountain !!
-
It is impossible to leave the island without tasting the wines, Nykteri, Vinsanto and other smaller varieties. The Santo Wines, namely the Cooperative of the island is a good case in a really convinient point.
-
For last I suggest the circumnavigation of the island with a catamaran boat. If you're a big fellowship, its worth to rent it and go to all the beaches of the island, otherwise you can join existing catamaran boat routes.
