Top 10 things to do in Santorini

Watch the Famous Santorini Sunset

Nothing says Santorini like watching the sun dip below the caldera. Head to Oia or Imerovigli for the most iconic views. These spots can get busy, so consider exploring by ATV or buggy to arrive early and secure your perfect spot.

Explore Imerovigli, the Balcony to the Aegean

This quiet village offers panoramic views, charming pathways, and less crowds than Oia. It’s perfect for a relaxing stroll, photo ops, and enjoying a peaceful coffee with a view. Easily reachable by your rented vehicle, it's a must-see away from the usual crowds.

Go Cliff Jumping at Amoudi Bay

Amoudi Bay is a local favorite for adrenaline seekers. Jump from volcanic rocks into the deep blue waters, then enjoy a seafood feast at the nearby tavernas. The road down is steep, so having your own vehicle helps you get there and back easily.

Set Sail on a Catamaran Cruise

See the island from the sea with a catamaran cruise. Many options include stops at the Red and White Beaches, the hot springs, and lunch onboard. It’s the perfect way to unwind and discover the coastline from a different angle.

Hike from Fira to Oia

This scenic 9 km trail along the caldera connects the two most beautiful towns of Santorini. The views are spectacular, especially at sunrise. Use your rental to get dropped off or picked up at either end and save time for the rest of your day’s plans.

Visit Ancient Akrotiri

One of the most important archaeological sites in the Aegean, Akrotiri was preserved in volcanic ash and offers a glimpse into prehistoric life. With a rented car or ATV, you can combine this stop with Red Beach or a wine tasting nearby.

Relax on the Black Sand Beach of Perissa

Perissa Beach is famous for its volcanic black sand, clear waters, and laid-back vibe. Spend the day sunbathing or swimming, and enjoy beach bars and restaurants. With your own transportation, it's easy to carry everything you need for a full beach day.

Tour the Wineries of Santorini

Santorini is home to some of Greece’s best wines. Visit wineries like Santo Wines, Gaia, or Domaine Sigalas for tastings with caldera views. Renting a vehicle makes it easy to explore multiple wineries in one day, especially those in the countryside.

Stop at the Catholic Cathedral in Fira

The Cathedral of St. John the Baptist stands out with its pastel colors and unique bell tower. Located in the heart of Fira, it’s a peaceful stop during your exploration of the capital. Parking nearby is easy with a scooter or ATV.

Discover Hidden Villages and Local Culture

Beyond the famous towns lie traditional villages like Pyrgos, Emporio, and Megalochori. These hidden gems offer authentic food, local charm, and quiet alleyways to explore. With your own rental, you’re free to wander and discover the real Santorini.
