Oia
Sugar-cube houses on the caldera rim, and the sunset everyone came for.
V-02Fira
The clifftop capital — cable car, nightlife, and the island's transport hub.
V-03Imerovigli
The highest point on the caldera rim, quieter than Oia, arguably better views.
V-04Pyrgos
A hilltop medieval village with a ruined Venetian kastelli and island-wide views.
V-05Kamari
A relaxed black-sand beach town under the cliffs of Mesa Vouno.
V-06Perissa
The longest black-sand beach on the island, backed by Ancient Thera.
V-07Akrotiri
The excavated Bronze-Age city, plus Red Beach and the Lighthouse.
V-08Megalochori & Vlychada
Wine country and a working marina, with almost none of the crowds.
V-09Firostefani
A small, quiet caldera village wedged between Fira and Imerovigli.
V-10Emporio
The island's largest inland village, with a walled medieval kastelli quarter.
V-11Messaria
Neoclassical mansions at the island's centre, once Santorini's industrial hub.
V-12Vothonas
A village dug into the ground, right next to Messaria — a different take on the cave house.
