ABOUT SANTORINI
Boasting not only unimaginable beauty but also rich history, Santorini presents its visitors with impressive archaeological sites and attractions of great historical importance. The prehistoric settlement of Akrotiri offers great insight into local history, owing its well-preserved state to the lava and ash under which it was buried for centuries. In addition, a visit to the archaeological site of Ancient Thira will reveal to you the remains of a magnificent ancient city, as well as a view that will sweep you off your feet!
The ruins of the Skaros, a Venetian fortress located close to White Santorini in Imerovigli, is perfect for a refreshing hike that will reward you with astonishing views of the Aegean, the volcanic islets, and the caldera when you reach the top. The quaint monasteries and blue-domed churches scattered throughout the island are also worth exploring, as are the Archaeological, Folklore and Prehistoric Thira Museums in Fira, and the Naval Maritime Museum in Oia.
