This was the first time I handed the job over to an agency, and so did not know what to expect. It was amazing!!! We spent a few days in Santorini and Greeking.me was able to introduce things to our itinerary that we would never have thought of. We stayed to a villa that was more than I could have hoped for in Santorini, with what we are convinced was the best view on the entire island!!

Some of the sites you are going to visit:
The site of Akrotiri
One of the most important settlements was Akrotiri at the southeast part of the island. The settlement was of great importance, covering quite a significant area with hundreds of houses, public squares, and palace complexes, reflecting a prosperous civilization with high standards of living. Suddenly, another huge explosion sealed the fate of the inhabitants. Due to the discovery of a carbonized olive tree branch, scientists dated the eruption between 1627 to 1600 BC. The eruption was so brutal that changed once more the morphology of the island by sinking a vast area and creating the islands of Therasia, Kameni, and Aspronisi.
The village of Oia
Here, the sunset is a given pleasure. But there are plenty of other reasons to visit Oia. Just a few out of many are the Venetian castle of St. Nicolas, the enchanting mansions that used to belong to ship owners of the 19th and 20th century in the so called “Captains’ Neighbourhood” as well as the traditional rock-hewn houses in the “Crew’s Neighbourhood”. You can learn more about the rich naval tradition of the island at the Maritime Museum. Don’t forget to check the windmills and the traditional knitting factory where you can buy beautiful souvenirs.
Fira
If you are on a cruise, you will arrive at the old port and then head directly to the city of Fira by cable car, or by foot! Ample shops, luxurious restaurants, traditional taverns, museums, cultural centres and a lively nightlife are waiting for you to discover them. Remember to visit the museum of ‘Prehistoric Thera’ where you will see material mainly from the Akrotiri excavations and some fossils. Other notable places are the Archaeological Museum and a cultural centre named Megaro Gyzi; a 17th-century mansion which houses an admission-free festival every August and a rich collection of engravings, paintings and old manuscripts.
