The romantic side of Santorini

Here are our pro tips for a memorable romantic vacation for you and your loved one.

Wine tasting tour

The Mediterranean climate and the unique volcanic terrain of Santorini result in excellent vineyards that produce some of the finest wines worldwide. The most popular is the white Assyrtiko grape, a dry drink with a citrusy, earthy flavor. There is nothing better than a wine tasting accompanied by a local appetizer while watching the sunset over the caldera.

Fine dining

A dining experience with your soulmate at a fancy restaurant with mesmerizing views of the sparkling Aegean Sea should not be missing from your itinerary. Oia, Imerovigli, and Fira town are just a few of the island’s romantic settlements that host many cliffside restaurants with fresh seafood. Our suggestion is Petra, an awarded restaurant in Oia with a wide variety of menu selections and amazing vistas.

Yacht cruise

The beaches of Santorini are unique and many of them accessible only by boat. So rent a private yacht and explore the island’s scenic beaches. Don’t expect to find white sand beaches, instead, be ready to be amazed by colorful rocks and pebbles made out of the volcano eruption years ago such as the Red beach and the black-pebbled Perissa beach. And if you are thinking about popping the question, there is no better setting than a sunset cruise with caldera views.

Movie time

In the scenic Kamari village is the famous Santorini open-air cinema. Surrounded by lush vegetation and tall trees, the cinema has comfy chairs and atmospheric lighting, creating a romantic setting under the starry sky. Plus, there is a bar where you can grab a drink or some popcorn to share with your loved one. All the movies are in English, so you don’t have to worry about translation.

Romantic walks

The picturesque town and villages of Santorini are the perfect setting for romantic walks in the narrow streets full of traditional Cycladic houses with whitewashed walls and blue domes. Don’t miss a visit to the Akrotiri lighthouse, famed for its 360° sunset views.

Massage session

Can you imagine something better than a private massage session by the pool with your loved one? A luxury spa treatment is perfect to revitalize your senses and rejuvenate your mind and soul after a long day of summer bliss.

Cave villa

Staying at a luxury villa, with a private jacuzzi and stunning caldera views, will arouse your senses and turn your trip into the most romantic vacation you can ever have! Our suggestion is Lucien, a cave-style retreat for a lucky couple right in the heart of the picturesque Oia town that will be your intimate hideaway.
