01 / WHY GO
Yes, the sunsets are famous. But Santorini’s quieter gifts are the volcanic vineyards, the black-sand swims and the villages that empty out after the day-trippers leave.
Stay in a cave suite in Imerovigli, sail the caldera on a classic yacht, and taste Assyrtiko from vines trained into baskets against the wind. We pair it with a slower island like Folegandros.

A LOCAL TIP“Watch the sunset from Pyrgos castle, then drive to Oia for a late dinner. You get the light and the table.”
