The world's most famous sunsets above blue-domed churches and a volcanic caldera.
Santorini is a crescent-shaped island carved by a volcano, whose sunsets over Oia village are among the world's most famous. White-and-blue buildings on the caldera rim, crystal-clear Aegean, and exotic black sand beaches at Perissa create an unforgettable backdrop. The island is ideal for a romantic couples escape.
