Santorini is by far the most famous island in Greece and for good reason. It’s iconic white and blue houses, dramatic cliffs, and centuries-old cuisine make give it the reputation as the ‘Crown Jewel of Greece.’
When in Fira you have to take a donkey ride up from the port up to the told town. It’s best to take it up now down because the way down is a bit slippery and I wouldn’t recommend it.
Many tourists arriving by cruise ship choose to take a donkey up the 588 steps from the old port to the town of Fira. If you want a faster alternative, there’s a cable car that takes about 3 minutes and costs 5 Euros.
Oia is the northernmost town in Santorini. It’s a picturesque village and from here you have incredible views of the caldera. The entire town in pedestrian friendly, there’s tavernas, souvenir shops and boutiques. Now lets explore Oia!
We are here at Ammoudi Port, this is a small port at the base of Oia. It takes around 200 steps to walk down from Oia, you can also drive down. We are eating today at Dimitris Taverna, which was the first restaurant to be established at the port. From here you have the best sunset from Santorini!
Dimitris restaurant is delicious! We had a rock lobster pasta, white wine, Greek salad, meze plates, and a grilled fish!
Next up are two ancient Greek sites! You may be surprised to know there’s a lot of history on this island.
Akrotiri is considered to be the Pompeii of the Aegean because it has been preserved by volcanic ash. What you see is a village that date back to 1650 B.C., which is the middle Bronze age period. They also found artifacts that date back to the 5th millennia B.C., which is late Neolithic period.
The settlement was destroyed in the volcanic eruption around 1627 BC and was completely buried by volcanic ash, which ended up preserving many frescos, artworks and buildings. It will take you around 1 hour to visit the site. Next up is the ancient city of Thera!
The ancient city of Thera was built in the 8th century B.C. about 1000 years after the volcanic eruption that destroyed Akrotiri. It was built by Dorian’s from Sparta, and named after their leader Theras. From here you have incredible views of Kamari Beach and the Aegean Sea.
A few must see’s here are the ancient Agora, the 2nd century Theatre and the public Stoa, or portico that was supported by 10 Doric columns
Santorini is famous for it’s wine, but did you know that they have one of the best micro breweries in Greece? Donkey Brewery was established in late 2011, and they currently produce up to 70 litres of beer. Yellow, Red and Crazy donkey are the three main beers of the company!
At the brewery you can watch and learn about the whole process of beer making! If your wondering about the name of the brewery is because Santorini is famous for its donkey’s.
If you want to experience a typical Santorinian village, head to Pyrgos, which is located at the highest point on the island. Here you’ll get some amazing panoramic views of the island and get the chance to see its traditional archictecture.
Now let’s head to a winery!
We head to Sigalas winery, it’s located right outside of Oia. Next up is Gaia Winery! It’s situated on the beach in an old factory.
We saved the best for last because there’s nothing quite like experiencing Santorini’s unique caldera by sea.
Today we are sailing around Santorini with Santorini Sailing. We’ll be making a few stops at red beach, white beach, sail through the caldera, stop at sulfur springs and end in Ammoudi Port.
Let’s hit those thermal waters. As you approach the thermal spring the water really warms up.
As we make our way closer to Ammoudi port, we sail closer and to disembark.
We stopped at Saint Nicholas Church to jump off the base. Let’s do this!!!
That was our top 10 things to see and do in Santorini Island! Comment below if you have been or want to go!

Mykonos - Greece !!! One of the most Elegant & Fashionable Island Holiday Destination in the World.
Mykonos Island
On this Mediterranean Island we discover an earthy paradise Mykonos!!! Is a Cosmopolitan Universe that imprints the stamp of Freedom on all those who share a Love for the Island.
Blue & White Summer. The Cyclades Island. Mykonos. With the sea glimmering in the sunlight, white houses with their blue shutters and balconies directly overlooking the Mediterranean!!!
More of a destination for jet-setters and honeymooners, Mykonos is also known for its glamorous night-life and luxurious resorts!
The history of Mykonos
According to classical mythology, the Giants of Hercules in a fierce battle to be killed, buried on the island of Mykonos in imposing blocks of granite.
The name of Mykonos, slightly pejorative meaning, a mass of rocks or a rocky point at a later tradition attributes the name of the island, a hero by the name of Mykonos, the son of the King of Delos, Anios, the son of Apollon and was nymph Rhoioa descendant of Dionysos.
Kares and Phoenicians have been the first inhabitants of Mykonos, but Athens was founded by Ionians colonists, and dispossessed the control of the island around 1000 BC, with the former residents.
Mykonos history
Historical sources confirm the following in the ancient world there were two towns on the island in 490 BC, the Persian generals Datis made Artaphernes and a brief stopover in Mykonos, it was resources.In a poor island with limited agricultural ancient, pantheistic times Dionysus, Demetra, Zeus, Apollon, Poseidon and Heracles, the principle gods were worshiped here.
Later in history the island belonged to the Romans and later the Byzantines, who have fortified the island against the Arab raids in the 7th Century, retained control of it until the 12th Century.
After the fall of Constantinople, at the end of the 4th Crusade (1204), occupied the island when her Seigneur (Fortress) by Andrea and Jeremia Ghisi relatives Dandolo, the Doge of Venice. In 1292 it was pillaged and plundered by the Catalans, and later, in 1390, given by the Venetians in 1390, the last of the Ghizi Overlord. In 1537, still under Venetian rule, the island suffered a catastrophic attack by Barbarossa, the admiral of Souleiman the Magnificent.
Later, under Kapudan Pasha, head of the Ottoman fleet, the island virtually self-governing, under the system known as the period of one and a council official voivod (syndics body), which always tries to keep an equal distance from both Turks and Venetians (the last of which finally withdrew from the region, in 1718, after the fall of the castle of Tinos to the Ottomans).
The most popular of Mykonos (which has fluctuated during the current period, usually 2000-5000 people) were from colonies of immigrants (from the nearby island and as well as from Crete) during the period of famine and epidemics that followed often the times of conflict has risen by the end of the 18th Century.
The Mykonos, who were in the same period known as excellent sailors, were successful in trade and shipping, and was also not unheard of piracy. Many islanders were in the “Orloff revolt” (led by the Orloff brothers, from 1770 to 1774), which resulted in a favorable active for them and for Catherine the Great in, due to the highly profitable contracts for the trade between the Ottomans and the Russian Empire.
In the early 30′s already started a lot of famous artists, politicians and wealthy people, mainly from Europe, spending holidays on the island, attracted by its unique atmosphere. Mykonos has adapted well to the post-war situation and the gradual growth of the tourism industry in Southern Europe, the island has turned into a cosmopolitan city and is one of the most successful growth models of its kind and scale in Europe.
