Just as perfect in person as it is on postcards, Santorini is one of Greece’s most picturesque islands. Think whitewashed cliff-side villages dotted with five-star boutiques and sky-coloured domes, winding alleyways decorated with pink bougainvillea and unique volcanic beaches lapped by glistening turquoise waters. Throw in traditional tavernas serving up delicious Greek dishes, honeymoon-perfect sunsets, historical sites and breathtaking scenery, and it’s easy to see why so many people book flights to Santorini from all over the world.

Although the charming Greek villages and impressive caldera are a sight in themselves, there’s plenty more to see in Santorini.

Once you’re done with sightseeing, there’s plenty to keep you busy. Fira, the capital of Santorini and Oia are both a must-visit.
