It's very hot! Upper 80's/90's Fahrenheit. I would pack beach clothes!

It gets very hot in the summer. Aroun 80 degrees is expected and it's very sunny. It rarely rains in the summer in Greece
Last time I was there it was in the low 90s but the surprisingly the humidity was oppressive! So stay in a place that has A/C to sleep at night!

I agree, the heat doesn't feel bad, since the humidity is so low.
How are the humidity levels in other areas of Greece? I didn’t know Santorini wasn’t humid!!

Beach clothes for day, a few nice outfits for evening. When I go in August I live on the beach in my bathing suit, and then change into a sundress at night. If sightseeing in the day, I am usually in shorts and a shirt.

I love visiting Santorini because to me, it's physically beautiful. I find it enchanting because of how unique the landscape is.
About 3,600 years ago, the island experienced a colossal volcanic event, known as the Minoan eruption. This event was so massive that it significantly altered the landscape, creating the caldera—a giant central lagoon surrounded by high cliffs on three sides. The eruption also played a pivotal role in shaping the ancient civilizations of the area.
Santorini's geological wonders don't stop at the caldera. The island boasts unique beaches with varying colors of sand and pebbles—red, black, and white—thanks to its volcanic nature. Visiting these beaches is like stepping onto another planet.
So, I plan to go again this year and check it out. Some of the places I love are Red Beach, Oia (I plan to stay in Oia), and I love doing that hike from Fira to Oia during sunset.What do you love to do in Santorini?

Advice on galleries to visit in Fira?

I heard that Santorini is a great place for artists and people who admire art. I will be in Santorini for a cruise stop soon, but I will only have time to explore Fira.
I'm planning a trip to the beautiful island of Santorini and, as an enthusiastic art lover, I'm eager to immerse myself in the local art scene. Fira, with its stunning caldera views and charming streets, is on my travel itinerary, and I would love to explore some art galleries while I'm there.
From what I've gathered, Santorini, and Fira in particular, is a hub for vibrant art, showcasing everything from contemporary pieces by local artists to ancient artifacts that narrate the island's rich history. However, with such a plethora of options, it's a bit overwhelming to choose where to start.
Anyone have any advice?

I've been completely mesmerized by the postcard photos of Santorini, but beyond the blue domes and the sunsets of Oia, I'm looking to uncover some of the island's best-kept secrets. What do you suggest?
Have you stumbled upon any villages, beaches, or local haunts here that you loved? Or maybe historical sites too? I am just looking to do something different that what is typical.
