It combines theatre, dance, music with Mozart and Beethoven, Christmas songs with guitar and percussion, great classical texts in theatricals full of children’s messages, laughter and interactivity.

Why visit Santorini for Christmas Holidays

Christmas is mostly a time for shopping and gifts, food experience tours and wine with friends and family. Cities have traffic jams and lots of noise. In Santorini things are more simple and romantic during December and especially on Christmas Eve.

Locals celebrate a lot, with an emphasis on their traditional cuisine. The traditional Santorini fava and tomato bites from the traditional tomatoes of Santorini take the lead. They are served with the famous, tasty Vinsanto wine of the island. You can take a tour of Santorini!

An advantage could also be the fact that the prices during this period of time are really very low!

The sequence of performances is as follows:

  • Cultural Hall of Commerce
  • Multipurpose hall of Messaria Gymnasium
  • Kallistis Thiras Fireplace
  • Fira Christian Home

But… the heart of Christmas will be ringing for another year at the “Christmas Village”. From December 17 until January 3, daily 12:00 – 21:00 all the magic of the festivities will be at KTEL Central Station in Fira.

Train, ice rink, bungee trampoline, playgrounds, Santa Claus, face painting, candy wool, popcorn, fairy tales and many more surprises awaiting us all to celebrate Christmas and the coming of the new year together. Book a Santorini Private Guided Tour and spend your holidays on the island making it worth!

How to spend a winter tasting weekend in Santorini!

How to spend a winter tasting weekend in Santorini!

Santorini has officially “worn her winter clothes“. There are few tourists, but the island is never evacuated. Many hotels, restaurants, wineries and other Santorini businesses are still operating and serve visitors. Santorini private tours are also available to travel you to all the beauties Santorini has to offer apart from swimming at the most famous beaches. Winter is the best season to enjoy the special food tastes Santorini has to offer!

3 reasons why one should visit Santorini in winter

  1. It is really quiet. In the summer, Santorini becomes a crowded holiday spot filled up with tourists and everything a popular destination includes. However, there are people who also appreciate the calmness of winter. You can spend hours walking around undisturbed through the stoned roads or just watching the endless blue sea.
  2. It’s cheaper. From flights to accommodation… everything is much cheaper than full season.
  3. Due to the weather conditions photos are much more beautiful. Stormy skies, cloudy skies and a pinch of the sun can give you a photo for your memory book that stands out!

The weather generally in Santorini and all the other Greek islands is mild with a lot of sunshine. But it can also be rainy and windy.

9-things-you-should-definitely-do-in-santorini

1. Try local Santorini tastes

It would be a tragic mistake to go to Santorini and not taste the delicious local dishes. It is one of the top culinary destinations in the Aegean Sea for its own food as well as for its own restaurants and taverns with its unique decoration and unique view.

There are taverns and restaurants for all pockets, but you have to be careful because you are most likely to choose the wrong tavern and pay a very expensive lunch. To be sure your money and experience will be worth, choose places with award-winning chefs.

Try the famous fava and tomato bites of the island, well-known cod, scandamacarona and known as meatballs of poor or pseudo-bite (meatballs of various herbs and legumes).

2. Tour to Akrotiri, Santorini

Akrotiri is a top destination if you are a history lover. Although not so advertised as Vergina or Mycenae, it is one of the most important archaeological sites of the whole Aegean, at a distance of 15km from Fira.

Paving streets, exceptional frescoes and finds of an ancient civilization that has remained in obscurity for more than 3,500 years will make you stand out.

3. Visit the Santorini Museum of Prehistoric Hunting

The Prehistoric Hunting Museum is definitely one of the museums to visit. It is easily accessible, with great exhibits and very important finds from excavations. Often those who visited it say that it looks like a “dive into the dangers of Aegean history“.

It can be easily combined with the visit to Akrotiri, completing it. Only for the Prehistoric Thera Museum the price is €6, while there is a combined ticket.

4. See the Santorini sunset

The magical sunset of Santorini is by itself the main attraction of thousands of tourists every year because of the amazing color palette it creates during its set. The castle of Oia is the top choice for sunset but it is not the only place where you can admire the unique feeling of the sunset in Santorini.

At Faros in Akrotiri, the sun literally looks diving in the sea, while the world is much less than in Oia. At the beach of Vrychada the volcanic scenery creates a very special atmosphere, while the view from Imerovigli, Prophet Elias or Firostefani is equally seductive.

5. Go for a Santorini dive

Perhaps only diving lovers can appreciate the uniqueness of such an experience. The bottom of Santorini is far from common. You can take a tour of Santorini!

Besides its rich underwater treasures such as redfish, colorful sponges or sea slugs with its wonderful colors, you will have the chance to admire volcanic rocks, unique in the Mediterranean.

Alternatively you may rent a car in Santorini.

6. Stay in a Santorini cave home

Another unique experience that this magical island offers. Cave houses are essentially houses that are built in the rock. They are built by the locals in this way to protect themselves from the winds.

They offer dew in the summer and heat in the winter while the architecture gives them an unbeatable beauty in the landscape. If you are claustrophobic try it for one night. Worth!

7. Try Santorini wine from a winery

Apart from the fantastic sunset and the archaeological interest of the region, the volcanic vineyards of more than 3200 years of age attract numerous wine lovers every year.

Visit some of the region’s award-winning wineries and travel to the world of senses in a different way.

9. Visit Santorini, Emporio Thera

Emborio or Nimborios is 12 km away from Fira and is the largest village of Santorini. It was part of the sale – and probably of production – of the products during the 17th century, and often residents of the area visit the village for supplies.

The medieval Kastelli and the Tower of Goulas, located in the village, are a masterpiece of architecture and definitely worth a visit.
