Grab your camera and get ready - such landscapes are not to be found everywhere...

Vlychada Beach

Maybe the most captivating beach on the island, Vlychada will give you the sense of being on a trip to the moon.

Castelli of Emporio

Above the largest village of Santorini, Emporio, is the hill of Gavrilos. Along its ridge stand 9 traditional windmills. The hill offers a location with a very beautiful open view, which is suitable for interesting pictures.

Traditional village of Megalochori

One of the most serene and beautiful gems of the island. Megalochori is a traditional little village that will steal your heart with its unique aesthetics. Here, everything seems to have leaped out of a painting.

Monastery of Profitis Ilias

As you drive to the monastery and you can enjoy the amazing view of the island. As soon as you reach the end of the hill you notice that the whole island appears at your feet. It is the highest point on the island.

Skaros Rock

The view is unrivalled, with the cliff being so steep that it will often make your heart beat faster.

Oia's Main Street

It lies around 30 minutes by road from Firostephani, and it will truly bewitch you being overwhelming indeed. The main road divides it into two territories: the one, towards Caldera, has impressive underground edifices, while the other is adorned with captain-houses (capetanospita).
