Santorini is a beautiful and peaceful island. I stayed at the campground which was very inexpensive and right on the beach. Don’t come here if you’re on a tight schedule. My experience here was exactly what I wanted in a Greek Island getaway vacation, and more. The water is clear & beautiful, the weather is lovely, the black sand beaches are awesome!

Volcanic Hot Springs by madamwitty

Definitely take a boat ride out to the volcano hot springs! I did a tour that involved a hike on one of the volcanic islands and then a trip to the hot springs. The hot springs is like a little cove right on the edge of the island; there wasn’t a dock nearby so they stopped offshore and you had to swim about 50 yards into the cove, where the water changed from blue to red (from lots of little iron oxide particles.) Some people dived right off the boat, but I used the ladder they put down into the water. Lots of fun!

  • travel.nytimes.com Introduction to Santorini by FROMMER'S November 20, 2006 Especially if you arrive by sea, you won't confuse Santorini with any of the other Cyclades. What will confuse you is that the island is also known as Thira. While large ships to Santorini (pop. 7,000) dock at the port of Athinios, many small ships arrive in Skala, a spectacular harbor that's part of the enormous caldera (crater) formed around 1450 B.C. when a volcano blew out the island's center. To this day, some scholars speculate that this destruction gave birth to the myth of the lost continent of Atlantis. In short, this is physically one of the most spectacular islands in the world. Santorini's cliff-faced crescent isle graces tourist brochures and posters in Greek restaurants the world over. Many Greeks joke, somewhat begrudgingly, that there are foreigners who know where Santorini is -- but not where Greece is! (read article)
