Santorini is renowned for its blue-domed churches and stunning sunsets. Ancient Thira and Akrotiri are ruins that tell tales of the island's past. Beach lovers can soak in the unique volcanic sands of the Red Beach, White Beach, or Kamari Beach.
And then, there's the local food. Try to find a hole-in-the-wall taverna and taste the local speciality, 'fava me koukia.' A split pea and broad bean mix that's simply incredible.
