Overview
Famous for its whitewashed villages clinging to volcanic cliffs above a flooded caldera, Santorini is the postcard image of the Greek islands. Stunning sunsets in Oia, black-sand beaches, and crisp local wines draw visitors worldwide.
Getting around
Buses link the main towns, but renting an ATV or hiring taxis is common given limited transport.
Local etiquette
Respect the relaxed island pace; dress modestly inside churches and tip a small amount for good service.
Safety
Santorini is very safe; take care on steep cliffside paths and crowded sunset viewpoints.
