It’s a steep descent to this idyllic port just below Oia in Santorini. Wear good shoes as the terrain is rocky and steep, and you’ll have to go down over 200 steps to get there. Seafood restaurants grilling octopus await you at the bottom, and a trail over rocky terrain will take you to a spot where you can swim in crystal-clear waters and watch cliff jumpers. Amoudi Bay is a great place to unwind, especially at sunset.
This gorgeous black-sand beach is located on the southeast of Santorini, right at the foot of Mesa Vuono Mountain. It's a great place to sunbathe and swim—it's been awarded the Blue Flag for its clean and clear waters after all. There are lots more to do too—there are sun loungers and umbrellas for rent, Greek taverns and bars nearby, and water sports like jetskiing.
Stunning Oia is carved out of Santorini's cliffs—a panorama of white buildings dotted with colorful rooftops typical of the country—set against the deep blue sea. This is the place to spend the day on a boat or on a chaise lounge taking in the sun, then enjoying long meals and strolls through town. There are also pretty churches to see, which makes for a relaxing afternoon outing. Sunsets in Oia are legendary. Watch from a café, or, better yet, from a boat—you’ll be spellbound.
This 11th century BC Dorian settlement includes remains from Hellenistic, Roman, and Byzantine periods.
