Santorini is a world-famous island in the middle of the Aegean Sea that was formed from a volcanic eruption thousands of years ago. The island is renowned for its white-washed towns, blue-domed churches and amazing sunsets. You can fly from Dublin to Thíra in Santorini or take the ferry from Athens. Ferry journeys can vary in duration depending on the ferry company.

Santorini is the largest island in an archipelago that was formed after an enormous volcanic eruption 3,600 years ago. The archipelago is shaped in an arc that is the rim or caldera of the volcano that remains above water. Santorini has three main towns. Fira, the capital, is located on a clifftop with panoramic views of crystal waters and the submerged volcano. The white-washed houses and blue domes make this town picture-perfect. In Oia, you can view the world famous sunsets and the village is complete with souvenir shops and art galleries. The beaches of Perissa, Kamari, Perivoles and Red Beach are among the best beaches in Santorini with volcanic black sand and clear blue waters. Nightlife is mainly centred in Fira with bars and nightclubs but the beaches also have restaurants and bars. The Caldera Hike is ideal for walkers following the rim of the famous volcanic caldera overlooking the Mediterranean.

Santorini is ideal for couples, honeymooners, families, solo holidays and activity seekers. Accommodation ranges from guest houses, apartments, hotels and for something special there are stunning 5* hotels with amazing infinity pools overlooking the Mediterranean. There is something for everyone and the sunset cruises are a must!
