Santorini Locations

[TheRainMaker]

Hi all,

We are going to Santorini shortly and wondered if anyone has some top tips for locations?

Most of the iconic pictures seem to have been taken in Fira and Oia, just wondered if there are any other locations off the tourist track.

We will be getting a buggy or car so can travel, also happy to get up for sunrise etc.

We have got fairly limited exploring time due to attending a wedding, I'm trying to get some locations ready ahead of time

Any help or advice appreciated

Yes, take your buggy/quad/car up to ancient Thera on top of the mountain.

The winding road, in the link, is the one you want, so you need to start the ascent from Kamari beach!
Make sure that on whatever vehicle you take the brakes are working properly, that road is very, very steep, despite the switchbacks!
Once you're up there the views are amazing!

Perissa is good for sunrise. Other than that you'll have a great time.... its such a chilled out place.

Akrotiri is worth a look too if you are even vaguely into history.

Perfect, that is about 500 meters from our hotel.
