Santorini: Cliffs of the Aegean

A 7-day Aegean odyssey: cliffside Oia, the caldera at sunset, ancient Akrotiri, and slow mornings on black-sand beaches.

Wake in a cave-house carved into the caldera. Sail by catamaran to the volcanic islets and the hot springs. Walk the cobbled paths between Imerovigli and Oia at golden hour, when the entire island turns rose-gold. Eat octopus grilled over coals and drink Assyrtiko poured by the people who pressed it. This is the Aegean as it was meant to be felt.

Highlights
