What-can-you-do-in-Santorini-in-November
Take a Santorini tour this November

Santorini in November is a journey unlike any other that you must experience once in your life. Santorini is the Greek island that has all the lights focused on it. It makes perfect sense when you think about how many travelers from all over the world have a lifelong dream to be there even once in their life.

Landscapes that do not exist anywhere else in the world, gastronomy full of surprises and hospitality that is exemplary for all those involved in tourism! And if you are wondering when is the right time to be there? Know that September, October and the first months of summer are ideal to make the trip there!

Go to Emporio for an afternoon

This village has a character all its own and you have to give it the time it deserves. Explore it. Take photos in the wonderful frames it offers and feel the vibes the place has.

Early morning walk in Pyrgos

Another village that you must walk in Santorini is Pyrgos. Clean with vibrant colors and a bell tower that you can see from everywhere. Pyrgos will become the village with your most beautiful memories from Santorini.

Go to Thirasia for one day

Thirasia is the twin sister of Santorini that will really enchant you. Even if you have been to the island for a few days, dedicate one of them to make this one-day trip definitely worth it. In Thirasia you will find coffee, food and anything else you need.

Visit Akrotiri

There is nothing like it anywhere else in the world. Visiting is like traveling through time. Walk the streets and squares of a prehistoric city of thirty thousand inhabitants, see its elegant high-rise houses and admire the refined taste of the 17th century BC.  You can take a tour of Santorini!

Go to Akrotiri Archaeological site

It is located on the southwestern tip of the island, 15 kilometers from Fira, and this archaeological site deserves to be on your schedule. The first installations in Akrotiri date back to the Late Neolithic Age.

Go to Red beach

Santorini is not famous for its beaches, but a walk here is a must. It will be difficult to get down here and it is not ideal for swimming, but the scenery is something you have to see up close!

The volcanic rocks and the result of landslides in the area, gave the famous beach its unique landscape and emblematic features. Get ready for a tough footpath from Akrotiri, between stones and rocks until you reach the beach. Its waters are cold and crystal clear, while if you get tired of walking you can rent a boat from Akrotiri.

Explore the White beach

You can get here on foot from Kambia beach by walking the path or by sea bus from Akrotiri. The beautiful relief of the rocks will remind you of Milos.

Take a tour with Santorini Tours

Prefer private packages of Santorini Tours that include a visit to Oia, Imerovigli, Firostefani, Pyrgos village, Profitis Ilias monastery, Akrotiri, Red beach and Black beach and the special Venetsianos Winery. However, the experience of the view of Santorini by boat is something you should not miss at all!

Enjoy the sunset in Oia

Even if you are not among the romantics of this world, it is impossible not to be seduced by this mysterious force that almost hypnotizes the crowd in the alleys of Oia when the clock approaches sunset time. Then, a huge demonstration with hats, cameras and the smell of sunscreen moves to the edge of Oia at the Kastelli of Agios Georgios, where you just watch the sun dip into the Caldera and the people applaud it.

Spend your evening in Fira

The evening rightfully belongs to Fira, the lively capital of the island which not only has beautiful cave houses on the side of the Caldera, but also countless bars, restaurants, taverns, which make you think you are living a fairy tale!

Try local flavors

It is one of the top culinary destinations in the Aegean both for its food and for the restaurants and taverns with their special decoration and unique view. Try tomato meatballs and Vinsanto wine. In any store you go to eat, you will find them. They are must try in Santorini and you have to try them.

There are taverns and restaurants for all budgets, but it takes searching and caution because it is very possible to choose the wrong tavern and pay very dearly for a not so good meal. To be sure that your money and experience will be worth it, choose places with award-winning chefs.

Stay in a cave

The architecture of Santorini is unique. The caves, the houses that the locals dug into the rock to protect them from the winds, are unique in their kind. In modern Santorini, great architects turned them into wonderful places to stay. It is worth even for one night to feel the characteristic smell of the rock, the immediacy they have with the caldera.

Visit a winery

The volcanic land gives the wines special characteristics. A visit to a winery with Santorini tours, to see traditional vine cultivation and winemaking, and to taste some of the island’s unique wines is a fantastic experience.

5 reasons to visit Santorini in autumn

5-reasons-to-visit-Santorini-in-autumn
Take a Santorini tour this fall

The tourist season now lasts until the middle or end of October, while in some islands, such as Santorini, it has been extended until the end of November. If you have doubts, read below the 5 reasons that make Santorini ideal at this time of year according to Santorini tours.

In our minds we have combined the Greek islands with summer, the intense sun and the dips in the blue waters. The reality, however, is that every season of the year our islands are very beautiful. Not only are there less people in the alleys and beaches and the prices are more favorable, but also the people are more relaxed.

1. Enjoy an ιdyllic sunset in absolute silence

A work of art reminds of the time of sunset in Santorini. From whichever side of the island you choose to see it, the colors will captivate your gaze. These days, in fact, when the tourist traffic is relatively reduced, the quietness combined with the incredible view that almost the entire island offers will captivate you. We suggest you to walk in Oia and just before sunset choose one of its white terraces and indulge in the magnificent view.

2. Stay in a luxury accommodation at a better price

This is one more reason to want to travel to Santorini in autumn. All those rooms with the white terraces and swimming pools that we admire in the summer, but are never available, are now available at much better prices. In Santorini there are plenty of accommodation options, from rooms for rent to luxurious suites with a unique view of the Caldera.

3. Walk in the beautiful villages and visits to the archaeological sites

In our mind, Santorini has been combined with the sunset, the white houses and the Volcano. And yet, it offers much more. Autumn is ideal to get to know Santorini in all its glory. You can easily tour its villages, observe how the locals live who will be more relaxed compared to summer, walk more comfortably in its alleys and easily climb Skaros, the black rock that in the summer months becomes inaccessible.

In addition, you can visit the island’s museums, but also its archaeological sites, such as Akrotiri and Ancient Thira, which emerged as one of the most important urban centers of the Aegean in the past centuries and many liken it to the lost Atlantis.

4. Eat delicious local dishes

Santorini, in addition to its natural beauty, is also famous for its delicious cuisine. Who does not know Santorini fava beans, capers, local vegetables (usually dehydrated) or the famous tomato meatballs and kopania? All this and more you can enjoy in Santorini. Except that in autumn there will be no waiting in the restaurants, while you will be able to book the table you want.

The local, Greek cuisine meets favorite international flavors and combined with the first quality ingredients, create dishes that take off the palate. Accompany your food with sweet local wines and enjoy the sunset.

5. Wine tours as an unique experience

And since we mentioned wine, let us remind you that Santorini is known worldwide for its wine production. The main grape varieties grown in Santorini and which give all its wide variety of wines are Assyrtiko (which accounts for 80% of the island’s production), Athiri and Aidani from the whites and Mantilaria, Mavrotragano and Voudomato from the red ones. Of course, don’t forget to try Santorini’s signature wine, Vinsanto. We organize private tours of wineries in Santorini.

You will learn from the professionals why the vines in Santorini are not like those in the rest of Greece, taste the unique varieties of wine, learn with which to accompany your favorite food, but also be informed about all the innovations prepared by the producers, with the aim of the best quality product and the protection of the environment.

Santorini in autumn

It is famous all over the world and travelers from every corner of the earth come to see its enchanting sunset. It is Santorini, one of the most popular islands worldwide with its charm, magic and mystery. After all, anyone who has visited it knows well that the wonderful Cyclades is much more. You can take a tour of Santorini!

Her names were also many: from Strogyli to Kallisti or Kallisto, then Thirameni and Rhenia, up to the classic Thera. Its current name is due to the passing Frankish Crusaders, who left it Santa Irina and it was transformed into Santorini.

The legend says that Santorini emerged from the depths of the sea. Signs of life date back to the Early Bronze Age, in the middle of the third millennium BC. The best-known prehistoric settlement is the one in the Akrotiri area, which was buried under ash in the great eruption of the volcano around 1600 BC.

Along with Thirassia and Apsronisi, Santorini is the remnant of the volcanic island of Strongili. Parts of its volcano include Nea and Palaia Kameni. There are many boats that go around the Caldera, giving the visitor the opportunity to see up close the steep rocks and the contrast of the black earth with the white of the Cyclades.

The land tour of the island is also full of emotions. The cave houses in the volcanic soil look like small mosaics in the artwork spread over Fira, Firostefani, Imerovigli or touristic Oia, with its legendary sunset. In Fira, don’t miss a visit to the museum of Prehistoric Thera, to make a virtual journey through time that takes your breath away.

From the best sunsets to museum tours and delightful vineyard walks, Santorini is well worth a visit during these months. Autumn on the island is mild, which means that October is an ideal month for a trip.

And it may in the minds of most be one of the ultimate summer destinations, however, Santorini is irresistibly charming and wonderful in autumn as well.
