Overview of Santorini
With its cliffs, sunsets, and towns of whitewashed houses, it’s one of the most beautiful Greek islands—but also one of the most touristy. Of volcanic origin, Thera or Thira (the island’s other common names) offers stunning landscapes, beaches, and a lively atmosphere. You can hike, dive, or take boat trips around its surroundings, including the island of Thirassia, which is part of the archipelago along with three other islands.
