Where things are
The island is small — twenty minutes end to end by car — but the caldera villages, the beaches and the vineyards are three different holidays. Pick your side before you book a room.
-
Imerovigli & Firostefani
The caldera view without Oia's crowds or Fira's noise. Where we'd stay.
-
Oia
Extraordinary at 6am, unbearable at 7pm. Visit, don't sleep here.
-
Kamari & Perissa
Black sand, half the room rates, actual beach life. No caldera view.
-
Exo Gonia & Pyrgos
Inland villages, the best tavernas, and a car is essential.
