We experienced a comfortable tour for 3 days on the beautiful island. We drove to a lot of scenery. It was very easy to rent a car or scooter. Then you can go anywhere more convenient. Finally It was very unforgettable journey ☺️
I took a “Blue Star Ferries” from Athens to Santorini, which was a smooth and scenic journey lasting about 8 hours. The ride was comfortable, and it offered beautiful views of the Aegean Sea as we made our way to the island. Pro tips! use your student card and you will get 50% discount! thanks me later 😘

Sunlit beach & geothermal marvels
Volcanic black sand beach

The famous black beach of Holy Island is located on the east side of Holy Island. It is a little far from the cliff town of the west. The black beach is as the name implies. It looks obviously not as good as the white beach. But it is less expensive. It is really a world. There are quite a lot of people on the beach. There are more countries in the country. I found that it is as far as Iceland. It is actually close to Macau. There are black beaches. It is not so scarce. Anyway, it is not bad to stroll around as a less conventional beach attraction. The hotel restaurant next to it is a special place to enjoy.
Very nice attractions, with famous black beaches, a variety of restaurants and hotels, close to the airport, and a bus to Ferra (Blue Top Church). The hotel here is relatively cheap and is the ideal place to stay in Santorini. [View] Beautiful. [Fun] Sunbathing, sea amusement, mountain climbing. [Cost-effective] Free, cheap hotel.

If Santorini is a Greek card, then the Blue Top Church is Santorini's card, because at one point it was on the cover of National Geographic magazine and it became a globally known attraction, and more coincidentally, it was simple and straightforward. White is almost a bit otherworldly, no need to shoot high skills, no need to look for the angle, the "skull" at this door is the best today.
In fact, in the holy island, where the blue and white are used to the extreme, there are many blue-top churches. Each has its own advantages, and many are very small and exquisite, worth remembering. Of course, the first one published in National Geographic magazine is the one that is relatively hidden and slightly difficult to find. It is also the blue top, which has attracted the world's attention to the holy island of one of the thousands of islands in the Mediterranean

The Red Beach is a must-check attraction to reach Santorini, because whether it is a leisure self-service tour or a group tour, the bus must pass here in the day of driving out. It is generally taken on the mountain and will not go down to the beach.
If from the perspective of taking pictures, walk two or three hundred meters forward from the place where a large number of station wagons are parked to the best place to watch the red beach, the red mountain cliffs stand, some tourists on the beach are far from us, becoming our picture background.

The sunset view of Santorini Island is world civilization. There are many sunset viewing points on this fairyland island. Each is unique and unforgettable. Oia is the most famous and Ferra is comparable. Watching the sunset on the island fall into the sea will be touched. ～
Must go to see, in life must go to Greece to see the Aegean Sea, see the temple to see the mythical and legendary places, otherwise regret to come to the world! Go, go again, go again, the split is unlimited ♾, see the Aegean Sea, other seas do not have to go

grape farmers village with a few restaurants. Choose one with a roof terrace to enjoy the sunset! Pyrgos is not so crowded with tourists!
Pyrgos is a relatively small tourist attraction. It is not large in scale and has few residents. The hotel is very quiet and peaceful. Any casual photo taken here will turn out to be a perfect artistic photo.

It's really beautiful! Quiet and magnificent. The sunset time is different in different seasons. Just find an open place and wait for the sunset quietly. You can also have a meal or visit the small shops in the town.
Oia, the most dazzling pearl of Santorini, is a place with the most beautiful sunset in the world. At sunset, tourists flock to watch the stunning scene of the sunset falling into the Aegean Sea.

Berisha Beach is a naturally formed bay and is relatively quiet. The sand on Berisha Beach is black, uniform in thickness, clean and free of mud, and the seawater is cool, clean and clear. There is no entrance fee to the beach and you can enter and exit freely. In summer, straw umbrellas are lined up along the beach, which is very spectacular. The lounge chairs under the straw umbrellas are free and you can lie freely. There are restaurants, bars, souvenir shops and sports goods shops lined up on the seaside avenue parallel to the coast. There are also many water entertainment facilities, such as sailboats and speedboats, which can be rented.
Berissa Beach is a beautiful beach on Santorini Island. The water here is very clear, and the blue color changes from light to dark. The beach is not big, but the sand is very soft and very comfortable to walk on. This is definitely a good place to play in the water and walk on the sea.

It is just beautiful and the view is great! There is a hike from Fira to Firostefani and then to Imerovigli with caldera view! Then take bus 19 back to Fira! Best time at sunset!We made a stop at Pink Sofia Cafe where we had a homemade lemonade and a delicious taboule!
Imeroviri is a small town on the west coast of Santorini. It is close to Cape Turlos. It is the highest altitude town on Santorini Island. The most famous town is the plank road and the hotel. Because of the location, there are many cliff hotels here. The heights and lows are different but the same. It’s the same blue sky and white clouds, the same blue sea sands, living on the cliff, there is no obstruction in front of the unobstructed view, this experience must be owned, so many people will stay in this town for one night, especially the feeling that there is a road to Ferrostfani in the town and then you can go. The cliff sermon in the town of Ferra connects three towns in a few kilometers. It is definitely the essence of Santorini Island. What to play on the island. What to feel. What to experience. It is not an exaggeration to say that most of them are here. The Anastasia Church in the town is also an iconic building. One of the buildings is often selected as the venue for traditional weddings. It is very lively. If you are lucky to meet a couple of new people, this trip is lucky.
