Santorini, Greece: Top 3 New Places to Visit

So you're visiting Santorini for a few days, have you planned your trip already of which places to go to first? Don't worry, we wrote a list of the three best places you can visit in Santorini for a breath of fresh air! So in no particular order, here they are!


Oia's Main Street

From white-painted Oia Santorini hotels to blue-domed churches and structures, this wonderful sight is brought to you by the village of Oia! Be ready to get awed by the magical and awesome setup the locals have in Oia. The main street is made up of traditional tavernas, restaurants, and shops for goods. There are many tourists going up from the docking station. If you want to avoid the crowd, you can opt for a cable car ride where you can see the village and most of the island from above. Or you can pay for a donkey ride!

Oia's Main Street

Yet, the best way to explore the main street is by walking. You'll get more of the picturesque town by slowly gazing at its inspiring architecture, natural beauty, and accommodating locals. The main street of Oia gives us an idea on how to chill and take the time to appreciate the little things.

Akrotiri Lighthouse

The south tip of the island unveils the romantic and sunset-viewing spot just as beautiful as Oia, the Lighthouse in Akrotiri. Akrotiri is a one bus ride away from Fira and Oia. Also, it is where you will find the ancient archaeological site which is also a must-visit. But we are here for a different purpose. We are here to witness the best feature of the day- sunset! It is romantic because it is a peaceful remote part of the island where you can share the golden hour with the one you love.

The Cultural Village

Everyone who visits the island of Santorini eventually becomes captivated with the culture. Let the yourself get lost in the Cultural Village in Pyrgos which the locals call the Old Santorini Town. Here, not only you will notice the beautiful home setting in a traditional town. But also, there's a museum complex where the visitors can take a historical and gastronomic tour of the island!
