The island is renowned for its stunning sunsets and unfathomable blue of the Aegean Sea.The Minoan capital of Santorini owes its unique curved shape, famous black sand beaches, and striking black/red/gray striated cliffs to the volcano that created it 3500 years ago; an event that led Plato to argue that Santorini was the lost city of Atlantis. The caldera, a seven mile crater enclosed by two arms of a crescent, serves as the harbor of Santorini and is one of its most defining features. The sunset over the caldera is a nightly extravaganza.Santorini is home to no less than ten wineries, the most famous of which is Boutari. Wines of the region are dry with mineral overtones, with the exception of Vinsanto, which is the dessert wine of Santorini. Local art thrives on the island; there are many opportunities to view and purchase pieces created by local artists across the island.The picturesque traditional village of Imerovigli is a short walk away and offers restaurants and shopping. Continue fifteen minutes further along the cliff path (with uninterrupted views of the sea) and you’ll arrive at Fira, the bustling capital of Santorini. Fira can also be reached via bus, private car, or taxi (which can be arranged for you anytime during the day or in the evening.) Following the cliff path in the opposite direction takes you to the charming village of Oia.
