We visited both during the day and night to catch some great views, get some shopping done and try some local restaurants. This is probably Santorini’s most famous area for its breathtaking views and local architecture and it did not disappoint. We were the most excited to visit this town. There’s also a small restaurant by the beach. The water was much calmer here and the surrounding views were indescribable. This was another beautiful beach in Santorini, probably our favorite from the ones we visited. There is one restaurant on the beach, a few are within walking distance. We hiked up the trail and took great pictures before settling down and enjoying the beach. Restaurants and shops are in the vicinity. This was walking distance from our Airbnb. The water is clear and although you will catch some waves, it is a must see. Two 2 chairs and 1 umbrella will run you at about $12. There are lounge chairs and umbrellas available for rent. Gorgeous beach with its unique black sand. What To Do There are so many things to do and places to see on this beautiful island. If you are unsure if it’s more cost or time efficient to fly or do a ferry, you can use the application Rome2Rio to compare options (we have a Instagram tutorial on our “Travel Apps” highlights). We booked all of our ferries using Ferryhopper. To island hop, we utilized the ferry port to get to our next destination. For your visit, it is important to note there are many buses and taxi services available on the island, as well as car and ATV rentals. Since we had a rental car provided by our Airbnb host, we did not have a need to book any additional services. The host was super friendly and accommodating and also made some great recommendations for our stay. #Paros vs naxos free#The rental came with free breakfast every morning (between 9 and 10am) and a free rental car! This was a MUST to get around the island at our leisure. It also had a kitchen area, TV, AC and WiFi. The villa itself was surrounded by mountain ranges and had a pool, 2 bedrooms, 4 (3 twins, 1 full/queen) beds in total and a futon that could be used as 5th bed. Our host Rousettos, offered us transportation from the airport to the villa and when we checked out, he provided transport to the port to catch the ferry to our next destination. We found a great deal through Airbnb (get $40 off your first booking here) for this home in Thira that was in the middle of the island, but still walking distance away from beaches and shopping areas. ![]() Be sure to show us some love on Instagram and/or Twitter if you find our guides helpful!
