Looking for Paradise?-

Santorini is a stunning island in Greece, known for its whitewashed houses, blue-domed churches, and breath-taking sunsets. Long ago, it was called Thera and was home to an advanced civilisation destroyed by a massive volcanic eruption around 1600 BC. This eruption helped shape the island’s unique landscape, including the large, sea-filled crater known as the caldera. Today, visitors can explore the ancient ruins of Akrotiri, a city buried under volcanic ash, often called the "Pompeii of the Aegean."

There’s so much to see and do in Santorini. You can wander through the charming streets of Oia, famous for its cliffside views and colourful sunsets. Take a dip in the hot springs near the caldera or visit the black sand beach in Kamari. Don’t miss the chance to try local foods like fresh seafood and fava bean dip. Whether you're hiking from Fira to Oia, sailing around the island, or simply relaxing with a view, Santorini offers beauty and history at every turn.

Around the World

An Organic Vineyard on Volcanic soil

Santorini is famous for its white wine, especially Assyrtiko. Join a wine tasting at a winery like Santo Wines and learn about how the volcanic soil gives the wine a special flavour. Its vineyards, among the world’s oldest at over 3,500 years, remain self-rooted, untouched by phylloxera.

An excursion you must not miss

Don’t miss one of Santorini’s most memorable experiences—riding the cable car. It offers a quick and scenic route to the volcano, where you can admire its wild beauty and colourful rock formations up close.

A Unique Place to Stay

For a stylish and memorable stay, Cavo Tagoo in Imerovigli offers cave-style suites with private pools, sea views, and luxury design. It’s perfect for couples or anyone looking for something truly special.

Getting around in Santorini

In Santorini, a vehicle is not necessarily needed if you are staying in one of the main towns, such as Fira, Oia, or Imerovigli. These villages are pedestrian-friendly, with beautiful views, stores, restaurants & tavernas, and famous landmarks all within walking distance.

Churches and Monasteries on Santorini

Santorini’s churches and monasteries, like the blue-domed Church of Panagia in Oia, the Monastery of Prophet Elias, and Panagia Episkopi in Mesa Gonia, blend stunning architecture with deep spiritual and cultural heritage, offering insight into local traditions and sweeping Aegean views.

Beyond Italy’s Tourist Hotspots

From the verdant hills of Frascati, just a stone's throw from Rome, to the charming allure of Bassano del Grappa near Venice, these small-town day trips promise a respite from the bustling city life, unveiling panoramic views, delectable local cuisines and a genuine taste of la dolce vita.
