7 Unforgettable Experiences to Have in Santorini
Stay at Kalestesia Suites for Extraordinary Vistas and Much More
As Oia and Fira tend to get quite busy, if you’re looking for a more peaceful place to stay with to-die-for views, Kaestesia Suites offers it all and then some. Located in Akrotiri, perched in an elevated position on a hilltop, it sits in a quiet area overlooking the caldera and provides some of the most jaw-dropping vistas you’ve ever seen.
This luxurious hotel oozes opulence yet it’s affordable for the average person. In fact, you’d probably pay a lot more per night for a rundown room in Manhattan with no view. Enjoy an oasis of tranquility, freshly prepared meals made with organic ingredients, and perhaps best of all, service that will make you feel as if you’re royalty.
Walk the Trail Between Fira and Oia
This trek is likely to be a highlight of your time on Santorini. The approximately 7.5-mile walk one way brings some of the most spectacular views of the island along the cliffs. If you aren’t up for a long journey, you may want to take the bus or a taxi to either Oia or Fira, and then walk back to your vehicle.
Along the way you’ll see the glistening lagoon, a number of picturesque churches and the endless expanse of the sapphire-hued sea.
Ready to taste some of the best food the world has to offer? You won't regret soaking in the culture and reveling in the cuisine these restaurants provide.
Wine Tasting
Santorini is home to a host of wineries and vineyards, many of which offer tastings and tours. You definitely don’t want to leave without having sampled the island’s finest grapes. There are sunset wine tours available as well, where you’ll be taken to several traditional wineries and taste more than a dozen different wines.
The finale includes sipping your favorite while watching the island’s famous sunset.
