Santorini holidays

About Santorini

Santorini is the perfect destination for your next vacation! With its whitewashed towns and world-famous sunsets, it's easy to see why the Greek island is so popular. It's also a great place to learn about the island's volcanic beginnings. Santorini was formed by a massive volcanic eruption in 1450 BC, leaving behind a steep-edged crater, or caldera, peeking out of the Aegean Sea. The hot Mediterranean climate makes it an ideal destination for a summer getaway, with our Santorini package holidays running from May to October. The traditional Greek architecture of Santorini is also a major draw, with its whitewashed houses, blue-domed churches, and endless vineyards. Thira, the capital, is perched atop the caldera rim, offering stunning views of the Aegean. And the northern town of Oia is the best place to catch the island's famous sunsets. If you're looking for a more budget-friendly option, the east coast of Santorini is a great choice. Kamari and Perissa are both home to beautiful black sand beaches, a result of the island's volcanic past. Plus, it's only a 20-minute drive to Thira, where you can watch the sun set over the Aegean.
