This four-day trip covers beaches, caldera walks and sunsets across Santorini. It starts in Oia for a sunset, moves south to explore Red Beach and Perissa, then covers Fira and nearby viewpoints, and ends with more beach time and drinks. The sequence groups northern sites first, then southern beaches, to reduce travel time between locations.

Santorini questions

Is 4 days enough for Santorini?

Four days covers the main beaches and caldera viewpoints. Rent an ATV or use buses to reach Perissa and Kamari from Fira without long waits.

Do I need to book Oia sunset views ahead?

Reserve a private caldera spot in advance during summer months. Arrive at Oia Castle Ruins by 17:00 to avoid crowds.

How do I get from Fira to Red Beach?

Take the bus to Akrotiri then walk or join a short boat transfer. Allow 45 minutes each way and carry water.

Are Santorini beaches free to visit?

Entry to Perissa and Kamari is free but sunbed rentals cost 10 to 20 euros. Bring a towel to avoid fees.
