Firostefani
Firostefani, GreeceThe village of Firostefani is located in the northern part of Santorini, between the famous towns of Fira and Imerovigli. Officially, this location is perceived as a separate village. However, the truth is different. It extends the village capital, Santorini's infamous Fira. Since Firostefani is located at the highest point of Fira, the name of this settlement can be translated as the Crown of Fira. In Greek, Stefani means crown. Therefore, it is the Crown of Nature.
The village is one of the most stunning locations on the Island, which explains its increased popularity among locals and visitors. It offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Island and the caldera. Visitors can find accommodations, fine restaurants, bars, and other leisure and relaxation options. Firostefani can meet even the highest standards and needs, as the Island is a famous and ideal destination for world celebrities.15 minutes • Admission Ticket FreeView Location2

Megalochori - Traditional Village
Megalochori, GreeceIt is an authentic village that has kept its character and atmosphere untouched, as well as its Cycladic architecture, with whitewashed houses, blue domes, and winding cobbled streets waiting to be discovered. Wandering along the cobbled paths, you can admire neoclassical and ancient cave houses with solid wooden doors and high fences. The square is the heart of the village and a meeting point for locals and tourists. Here, you can taste local food and sweets or enjoy a cup of Greek coffee in the shade of the trees.20 minutes • Admission Ticket FreeView Location7
Red Beach
Akrotiri, GreeceRed Beach is located in the southeastern part of the island near the archaeological site of Akrotiri, 14 km from Fira, and is easily accessible by car or bus. At the end of the road is a parking lot next to the picturesque chapel of Agios Nikolas (St. Nicholas). The short hike to the beach over the rocks from the parking lot is tricky. If you want to avoid the walk and go up to Red Beach, you can take a short boat trip from Akrotiri, Kamari, or Perissa. A swim on Red Beach can be combined with a visit to the Akrotiri archaeological site.
Although Red Beach is not one of the best beaches in Greece, it is worth the challenge of walking. You can swim, admire the dramatic backdrop of the volcanic rock above you, and take some great photos. Access is a bit tricky and probably unsuitable for anyone with mobility issues. Some signs say the beach is dangerous due to falling rocks, so you should stay on the beach at your own risk.20 minutes • Admission Ticket FreeView Location8

The peninsula is world-famous for its prehistoric settlement, discovered in 1967.
