Book your plane ticket to Santorini

Little white houses on a 300-metre high cliff, traces of an erupted volcano and a rich history can all be found on Santorini.

You won’t be bored for a second on this breathtaking island in Greece. What makes Santorini so unique is first and foremost its nature. The island is volcanic in origin, so most of the sandy beaches have blackish grey lava sand. The island architecture is also very unique. The capital city of Thira is located in the west on sheer cliffs that rise directly out of the sea. Not surprisingly, Thira is also referred to as the ‘city on the high cliffs’. Don’t forget to visit the famous village of Oia. The village clings to a rock face and is breathtakingly beautiful, thanks to its little white houses and buildings. You can take the most beautiful pictures here at sunset.

Fly to the history of Santorini

The eastern side of Santorini is home to quiet sand and pebble beaches. Explore an ancient Minoan city, once deeply buried beneath volcanic ash, or visit the capital city of Thira. The Archaeological Museum of Thira and Agios Minas Cathedral are the island’s historic highlights. End the day at a delightful restaurant and make sure to taste the local wine. The volcanic soil and Mediterranean climate make the island perfect for winemaking!
