Barolo is seriously one of my favorite dinner spots in Santorini. It’s a little fancy but still feels super relaxed, and the vibes are immaculate—especially at sunset. The food is amazing (I’m talking next-level pasta and fresh seafood), the plating...

Le Moustache is sooo underrated. It’s giving cozy, chill vibes with a crazy caldera view that makes you feel like you’re in a postcard. It’s not overly hyped or touristy, which I love — it just feels real and relaxed. The food? Shockingly good. Like...

The Family Bakery is one of those places that doesn’t look like much, but trust me… it delivers. Everything is baked fresh and it’s so cheap, it actually feels illegal?? I love grabbing a little pie or pastry in the morning before I head out—it’s qu...

These boats are license-free, which makes them such a fun and easy option! I’ve done this so many times, and it’s always amazing. Santorini might not be known for its beaches, but boating around the caldera? Insane. The views, the water, the freedom...

This is such a great alternative to donkey riding. Unlike the poor donkeys—who are often overworked and mistreated—these horses are cared for with real love, attention, and respect. Please avoid supporting donkey rides around the island. It’s outdat...

A lot of people come to Santorini and have no idea about the island’s rich Minoan history—which is honestly wild. I highly recommend visiting the Akrotiri Museum. It’s one of the most fascinating places on the island. Definitely get a guide though—w...

The Koutsogiannopoulos Wine Museum is honestly one of the coolest experiences on the island—especially if you’re into wine or Greek history (or both). I actually went for the first time on a school trip in 3rd grade, and it’s stuck with me ever since...

This is such a fun and underrated stop in Santorini! The Lost Atlantis Experience is a little museum-style attraction that dives into the theory that Santorini is the real Atlantis—which is actually so fascinating. They even bring in Socrates and hi...

I really like this hike around the island! Just make sure you’re up super early to avoid the summer heat!! Get loads of water, sunscreen, hat and toilet paper with you as you will be hiking alone for some kilometers and the heat is no joke! Have fun!

The buses on the island aren’t the most reliable, but they’re definitely cheap and super easy to use. If you’re flexible with your schedule and don’t mind waiting a bit here and there, they can be a great way to get around without spending much. Just...
