Go on a Hiking Trail from Fira to Oia

On your visit to Santorini island, you might want to partake in a more unconventional activity that is off-the-tourist-radar. Why not connect with Santorini's idyllic natural settings by going on a hiking trail from Fira to Oia? On your journey here, you will be astounded by such breathtaking mountains and sea views. Santorini is more than restaurants, nightlife, and hospitality-- it's an excellent destination that combines utmost comfort with adventure, relaxation and outdoor activities. Discover Santorini's beauty along this pleasant trekking route, where you'll explore hidden beaches, volcanic rocks, impressive mountains, and above all, unique landscapes. 
This route is 5.5 km long and takes around 1-2 hours to complete, depending on the stops you may take. Given its 360º breathtaking views and photograph-worthy scenery, you should set off this journey from the beautiful church of Profitis Elias in Fira and have the chance to take impressive photographs here. From this point, you can follow the route that indicates Oia. Approaching your final port of call, you'll find very different scenery-- volcanic ash covering the path and white rocks creating a distinctive lunar landscape.

Discover Agrari beach

If you fancy relishing pure relaxation on a quiet beach in Mykonos, we invite you to visit Agrari beach. Here, you'll be able to savour peace and comfort in a paradisical landscape of long stretches of pearly sand and crystal-clear and turquoise water. It is one of the most relaxing and quiet beaches on the island. The atmosphere is calm and allures those who want to escape the restless touristy beaches. Enjoy heaven on earth at Mykonos's hidden gem, admire the breathtaking azure backdrop against the clear blue sky. Taste the delicious Greek dishes from the beach's tavernas, and if you're up for some fun and adrenaline, practice some water skiing with your loved ones!

Explore the historical village of Lefkes

Paros is one of Cyclades most beautiful islands that you should definitely visit. Not only is it less touristy than Santorini and Mykonos, but it has nothing to envy about them. It's drenched in beautiful beaches, landscapes, and above all, historical villages. One of them we highly recommend is the village of Lefkes. It's a quintessentially-historical Greek inland village, boasting lovely twisting white streets and blue-roofed houses. The houses' façades flaunt colourful flowers, and many hospitable locals sit near their door entrance affably smiling at those passing by. You can wander around and get lost in their marvellous streets, enjoy a delicious local meal at one of their old tavernas, and visit their main church, whose unique architecture and size contrast with the rest of the village.

Enjoy a meal and a magical sunset in Amoudi Bay

Discover this hidden gem in Oia. Amoudi Bay offers you one of the most breathtaking sunsets on the island. After walking down 250 steps, you'll find this paradisical bay of golden sand, turquoise water surrounded by the imposing red cliffs, contrasted beautifully with the perched-up white houses. Enjoy this stunning contrast of colours, and unwind at one of their various exquisite restaurants serving local specialities. You can savour a glass of white wine with some delicious fried octopus on a terrace while contemplating a magical fiery sunset melting into the glistening sea-- heaven!

Visit the Museum of Prehistoric Thira

In Thira, the Museum of Prehistoric Thira is a must-visit. Here, you'll get the chance to learn about the evolution of the Cycladic civilisation and the ancient city Akrotiri, a much older version of Pompeii, buried by a volcano. You'll admire beautiful and unique frescoes found in the remaining houses of Akrotiri and many other antique pieces such as vases, sculptures, and terracotta figures, rescued from various parts of the island. This museum is ideal for visiting with family, friends, and partner alike. Once you finish your tour around the museum and brush-up on some Greek history, you can explore the town and eat a nice meal at one of their beautiful terraced restaurants facing the sea.
