Go to 5 Senses for lunch, we went twice and loved! We even celebrated our anniversary here.

Imerovigli

Skaros Rock

This village will always be in our hearts, on our second day we went to Skaros Rock which is located on the bottom of this town.

We wanted to find the abandoned church beneath it and watch sunset as everywhere in Santorini tends to be pretty crowded.

Once we finished taking some photos and we sat down to admire sunset, Chris proposed to me in the most beautiful way!! It was the best day ever, we still can’t believe it.Did you know that Skaros Rock used to be the capital of Santorini a few centuries ago?

Bougainvillea Next To The Church

One of the most iconic locations in Imerovigli, Santorini has many beautiful blue dome churches but this is probably one of my favorites

Terrace view from Imerovigli

As we were walking around this town we found a few free terraces where people are allowed. Remember not too step on the ones that are private or forbidden.

Path between Imerovigli and Fira

This is where you will find the most luxurious hotels in the area, and for some people the best in Santorini. They are perfect for couples that want to escape from the busy streets of Oia.

It will take you around 20 minutes and you can even buy fresh fruit from a local on the way to Imerovigli!Oia, Santorini

Oia was the last village we visited in Santorini where we spent another 4 nights. Oia is the most famous one and you probably have seen you many photos from here, especially from the sunset point.

We visited during August and it wasn’t too busy, except from the main street and the ruins at sunset! I guess we got lucky this time! Here are some of our favorites spots in Oia for photos and to enjoy a lovely time with your love one

Blue Dome and the Church

Probably the busiest and craziest place in Oia, people start queuing at 6am, which is crazy because all the other spots in Oia were completely empty till 8.30 at least. If you don’t mind queuing it’s ok, if not it’s not worth it and you can try to find other amazing locations

The 3 Blue Domes From Beneath

Our favorite spot! We could see everyone taking photos above it and queuing when we were alone here every time we cameGet Lost & Explore The Streets

We didn’t want to watch sunset with hundreds of people with less than 5 cm from each other so we decided to find an empty street to watch it and we found so many! So highly recommended if you want something more romanticOld Castle Ruins

We recommend visiting this location early in the morning as you get sunrise on the left and a beautiful view of the caldera before everyone comes here

Katro Oia Bistro & Hotel

This is the famous orange building located next to Oia Ruins, it doesn’t get too crowded till late so it’s the perfect place for a photo.

You can take it from the lookout above it or from below to get different kind of angles!

Oia also has a few little windmills at the end of the village, that are hotels now! You can also stay here and experience what it would be like!

Main Street of Oia

We only liked this street during the early morning..after that is total caos, as it’s the only streets that connects to all the little ones. You will definitely enjoy it in the morning as you will need to go through it unless you are staying in the actual caldera.

Thank you for the kind stranger that asked us to take this photo for usOia Caldera View

Lovely place probably underrated with a beautiful view to the Caldera before you get to the castle. If you come here in the morning you will get a light like this, just stunning!

Byzantine Castle Ruins

We discovered this ruins one night when we were looking for a place to watch sunset. We decided to prepare a romantic picnic and brought some fruit and wine.Little Church In a Public Park

We found this cute little church at a kids park and had to take a photo here because it was just so cute, dont you think?

How to Get Around

Santorini is connected through a bus line every 15/20 minutes to every village for just 1,20euro that you pay in the bus. So it is not necessary to get a car as is very easy to move around and not much parking in the island, and prices can go up to 70euros a day for a car.

From Fira to Imerovigli you can go walking but to get to Oia you will need a bus, unless you really like walking as it takes 2,3h
