The magical views of the historic caldera and Aegean sea, collection of antique white stucco buildings with beautiful azure roofs, and beautifully stacked streets that look like they\u2019ve been pulled out of a Greek fairytale create an iconic scene anyone would be lucky to take in just once. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">But, while we all are very much aware that Santorini is a place we want to visit, I don\u2019t know how many of us have thought much about what we would do once we got there. I mean, do you know where you would stay? Or even what you should look for in a hotel? What about the things you would do there? Yes, you\u2019re definitely going to find a cafe where you can sit in your outfit of breathable, flowy fabric while sipping coffee and looking thoughtfully out to sea. But what else? I won\u2019t say there\u2019s necessarily a wrong way to visit the island, but there\u2019s definitely a better way. So, you know, good luck to you. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Just kidding. Below, you\u2019ll find 7 great ways to make sure you tick off this bucket list staple the right way. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong><span class=\"s1\">The stay<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"s1\">Santorini is a place for rest and relaxation, so it makes sense why it has so many beautiful boutique hotels.

Its 35 suites offer minimalistic design dressed with white decor, staying true to the essence of the island it was built on.

How you choose to incorporate it is entirely up to you. My advice is to let your interests do the deciding. Like to lounge? Santorini has amazing beaches that feature sands of black, red, and white varieties. And, if you find it hard to choose, there are tours offered that will bring you to all three for a nominal price. For the more active or cerebral visitors, don\u2019t miss out on the scuba diving to be had in the area. Those that go for this option will be treating themselves to adventure, history, and gorgeous marine scenes all in one fell swoop. And for those visitors that are people (yes, I mean everyone) you really can\u2019t go wrong with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/things-to-do\/private-shore-excursion-volcano-hot-springs-by-boat.a281935.activity-details?mcicid=page.Inspire.Gnomads.joe.miragliotta.7-ways-plan-perfect-trip-santorini\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">picturesque boat tour<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-23392 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/boat-tour.jpg\" alt=\"Boat tours in Santorini\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/boat-tour.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/boat-tour-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/boat-tour-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/boat-tour-400x250.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\n<h2><strong><span class=\"s1\">The food<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">As with a trip to anywhere else in the world, your stay in Santorini wouldn\u2019t be complete without tasting the local cuisine. Despite being a popular destination nowadays, the island hasn\u2019t always been the easiest to get to. Thanks to this and other similar factors, traditional Santorinian cuisine relies largely on ingredients that can be acquired there. With unique varieties of tomatoes, zucchini, and eggplant, and plenty of capers, fava beans (side note: if you don\u2019t try the dip, you\u2019re doing everything wrong), and fresh fish to go around, you can bet the culinary experience there is unique and flavorful. Of course, you should absolutely make sure to leave room for other Greek specialties as well. From the dolma and moussaka to the spoon sweets and baklava, if you leave without giving these a go, you\u2019re not going to forgive yourself.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_23389\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-23389\" class=\"wp-image-23389 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/moussaka.jpg\" alt=\"Moussaka\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/moussaka.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/moussaka-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/moussaka-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/moussaka-400x250.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-23389\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Greek Moussaka<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_23762\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-23762\" class=\"wp-image-23762 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/drz-58842-e1514910908296-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"Seltz Champagne Restaurant and Bar at Katikies Hotel\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/drz-58842-e1514910908296.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/drz-58842-e1514910908296-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/drz-58842-e1514910908296-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/drz-58842-e1514910908296-400x250.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-23762\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Seltz Champagne Restaurant and Bar at Katikies Hotel<\/p><\/div>\n<h2><strong><span class=\"s1\">The shopping<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">While Santorini might not be the first thing to come to mind when you think of fantastic shopping, that doesn\u2019t mean it doesn\u2019t boast both some great stores and boutiques worth checking out. From traditional garb to locally made spa products, there are places all over that feature items unique to the area that are great for gifting, or as conversation pieces to keep for yourself. As for where to go, best to keep an eye out for lesser-known gems. Even places that you might expect to sell the touristy items like a hotel shop could actually carry high-end treasures that anyone would be proud to take home. The boutique at Katikies Hotel, mentioned above, is a great example.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong><span class=\"s1\">The history<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">On the off chance that you aren\u2019t quite aware, Santorini has quite the history to boast. Back in days yonder and past, it was home to the Minoans\u2014a people so advanced for their time, many speculate that the story of Atlantis was based on them. If you have the time, be sure to take a tour of an archeological site like Akrotiri. It\u2019s referred to as the Pompeii of the Aegean, so you know it\u2019s going to be good. And if that doesn\u2019t sound like something that will float your boat, the area has plenty of unique fortresses and castles to be appreciated. Plus, you know, that whole caldera thing.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_23390\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-23390\" class=\"size-full wp-image-23390\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/akrotiri-history-site.jpg\" alt=\"Akrotiri\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/akrotiri-history-site.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/akrotiri-history-site-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/akrotiri-history-site-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/inspire\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/akrotiri-history-site-400x250.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-23390\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Akrotiri<\/p><\/div>\n<h2><strong><span class=\"s1\">The special events<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">To be honest, this is probably good advice for anywhere you visit. If you have a trip coming up, and you\u2019re going to be spending at least a few days there, I highly recommend checking to see if there are any special events happening in the area. Do a little research online before you go or inquire with your hotel if they have any recommendations. Even if your hotel doesn&#8217;t have a concierge, the front desk usually knows about all the big events happening during the time of your stay.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Santorini is a more than just the picturesque&nbsp;island that your friends love to brag about on social media.
