Home to the longest beach on the island, Perivolos, the village also hosts archaeological sites for history lovers and has bars and restaurants for a relaxing stay.
- Megalochori: Based on the island’s winelands, Megalochori is one of the most popular Santorini villages.

Traditional housing creates a picturesque view, and the winding alleys and taverns create that true Greek island experience.
Winter in Santorini
An ancient city destroyed by a volcanic activity leaves Santorini filled with stunning archaeological ruins and history. Visit the Akrotiri site for a look at some of the artifacts of the Minoan civilization that inhabited the region 3 600 years ago. Take a drive in your hire ca up the coastline and stop to sample the local Vinsanto wine that is given its distinct flavour from the volcanic soil at any restaurant on the island or visit the Three Bells of Fira for an orthodox cathedral experience.
