Amazing Three Day In Santorini

Santorini doesn't needs an explanation. It’s one of the most mesmerizing island in the world. Also known for its dramatic views of villages, sunset, wineries and black sand beaches. It is one of the perfect romantic getaway and most popular island among the tourists. It’s the largest island of a small, circular archipelago. A volcanic island in the Cyclades group located between Los and Anafi Islands.

To reach Santorini either you can book a flight from Athens or a ferry that runs from Athens and many other islands even. If you are travelling during peak season do book your tickets in advance.

To explore Santorini at its best is to hire a car, Scooter, or ATV. You will find many shops that rent. It’s best if you ask your hotel they will help you to get the best rate. We hired a scooter and drove throughout the island.

DAY ONE IN SANTORINI

PERISSA

The first stop in Santorini was Perissa. it’s a sea side village.  It had a long black sand beach with many travernas, umbrellas and chairs on the beach. Here you can sit and relax or go for swimming and even it has many water sports activities.  It was a perfect start of the island. We enjoyed some Greek food and relaxed at the beach.

IMEROVIGLI

The next stop was Imerovigli one of the best village for evening to spend in some peace. Here we reached some time before sunset. It’s a village with white and blue house, catholic churches and travernas and pubs. It’s very near from Fira village. It’s also called as BALCONY TO AEGEAN and famous for its beautiful sunset.

After reaching the village we strolled around the narrow paved paths to find a perfect spot for the sunset. The village was very beautiful just like postcard photos and during the sunset as the sun rays fall on the village its beauty enhances. We witness many professional photo shoots during the sunset time. It was one of the best sunset of our life.

DAY TWO IN SANTORINI

FIRA

As the day unfolds it was the time to explore the heart of Santorini yes you are right the most artistic villages of the island. The first stop was the Fira town. The most commercial town of Santorini. A very nice view of the village and the volcano on the other side. As you will stroll through the alleys you will witness many shops, travernas and pubs. It’s one of the best place to visit in night. From here you can even go for a tour for volcano and Therissa. You can enjoy the cable car ride to the port from town.

FIROSTEFANI

It is just a ten minute walk from the Fira town. Here we witness some amazing view of the blue and white churches and some beautiful houses with a unique view of volcano from the cliff.

It was again the time to hit the roads and visit another village but his time we preferred to not follow the ideal direction to reach the village we just drove downwards toward the island. We just loved the drive and the view. It was just the best way to explore the island. We took stops at different beaches and beautiful churches on the way.


OIA

Strolling around the island we reached the most awaited destination of the day. The Oia village, It is one of the most spectacular and picturesque town of Santorini. It looks more beautiful at the time of the sunset. It has one most amazing sunset view from the cliff. It’s better to reach and take your spot before sunset as there is huge crowd and you won’t get one. As the sunsets so was the day came to an end.

DAY THREE IN SANTORINI

AKROTIRI

As the sun rises so it was time again to hit the roads and explore some towns of Santorini. We started with Akrotiri town. It was different from other towns on island. The eruption of volcano in 17^th century B.C., the entire island of Santorini was covered with volcanic material. Akrotiri is one of the best preserved site all over the Greece.  Here you can witness how the city before volcanic eruption was. After finishing the historical site we moved towards the red beach. The only beach on the island which has red sand on its shore. Here you can swim and relax for a while.

The winery of Santorini are very famous there are number of wineries that could be found. The next stop was Santo Wines here you could see how the wine is produced. But before visiting do make a call and confirm the timings of the winery tour as it happens only once a day. We took some wine flights of them and they were just amazing. The view from Santo Wines is breathtaking and even you can sit and enjoy sunset. Vinsanto is one of the most famous local wines of Santorini. Do give it a try, it is like a desert a bit sweet in taste.

It was time again to explore we headed towards pyrgos where we climb the top from where we got an amazing view of the island. For the sunset we went to caldera where you can sit in a travernas and enjoy the sunset.

It was the end of the Santorini as we need to leave for Athens next afternoon to get a last feel of the island we headed towards Kamari Beach where we swim and relaxed and was the perfect end of the island visit.
