The Santorini City Guides deal with the questions every visitor brings to the island: where to eat well without paying for the view, how to catch the sunset somewhere other than a packed wall in Oia, which wineries and Bronze Age ruins earn the drive and how to reach the beaches, the volcano and the neighbouring islands by bus or boat. Each guide is a short, opinionated list with the reason to go, what to order or look out for and a practical tip for every place, and it opens in your browser as soon as you pay.

Three places from the guides
Metaxi Mas
Exo Gonia, inland south of Fira
A village taverna whose terrace looks over the vineyards, with cats under the tables and one of the island’s best-loved local menus: fava, caper salad, rabbit and lamb. The meal ends with raki and dessert on the house. From the food guide.
Akrotiri archaeological site
Akrotiri, south-west, 25 min from Fira
A Bronze Age town the volcano buried 3,600 years ago, with two-storey houses and streets you can still walk. A huge roof covers the whole site, so it works in rain or fierce sun. Plan an hour or more. From the family guide.
Nea Kameni
Caldera, by boat from Fira Old Port or Athinios
The young volcanic island in the middle of the caldera, last active in 1950. A short trail crosses black lava to the crater rim, where sulphur steams and the cliffs of the whole island surround you. From the day trips guide.
Plan your days on Santorini
Day one: Fira’s museums and the caldera path to Imerovigli from the things to do guide, lunch at a village taverna from the food guide, then a sunset wine terrace and Fira’s bars from the nightlife guide. Day two: the beaches and a volcano boat from the day trips guide, or a ferry to a neighbouring island. For a rainy or slow day, the family and budget guides send you to the covered ruins at Akrotiri, a cave museum and gyros that cost very little.
