Santorini has some of the most amazing sunsets I have ever witnessed. Oia has some of the best in all of Greece!

Great Walking Paths on Santorini?

I’ve been thinking about Santorini specifically as a place for walking, and I realized it’s something I don’t hear Greeks talk about as much as food, wine, or sunsets. I’m curious how people who know the island well think about walking it, not just as visitors passing through but as a lived landscape.

So I wanted to ask: what are some great walking paths on Santorini? Beyond Fira–Oia, are there routes you’d actually recommend for the views, the quiet, or the feeling of the island itself? I’m especially interested in paths through villages, near vineyards, or stretches that feel more local and less performative. Are there walks that feel better early in the morning, in the wind, or outside peak season?

I’d love to hear which paths you return to or remember most, and what made them stand out for you.

Which Santorini villages still feel quiet and traditional now?

I’m thinking of visiting Santorini next year, but I keep hearing that the island has changed a lot — especially with how crowded Oia and Fira have become. I love the idea of seeing the caldera views, but I’m also hoping to experience the quieter, more traditional side of the island.

Are there still villages that feel peaceful and authentic, where you can wander through narrow streets, talk to locals, and maybe enjoy a meal at a family-run taverna without the crowds?

I’ve heard names like Megalochori, Pyrgos, and Emporio mentioned, but it’s hard to tell from online photos which places still hold onto that “old Santorini” charm. What do you think?

Guy's Night Out in Santorini?

A few of us are planning a guys’ trip to Greece next summer (still tentative, but Santorini is definitely on the list), and we’re trying to figure out what a proper guys’ night out would look like there. One of the guys will be celebrating a birthday, so we’d like to make it special without going too over the top.

We’re not looking for the super touristy spots packed with honeymooners—more interested in something authentic, fun, and memorable. Maybe a taverna with great food and live music, or a bar where locals actually hang out? A good view wouldn’t hurt either.

Has anyone here done a birthday or a group night out in Santorini with a bunch of guys? Is Fira better for nightlife than Oia? Any recommendations for tavernas, bars, or even local experiences we could include in the evening would be really appreciated.

Is Summer Travel to Santorini Worth It?

I’ve only ever been to Santorini in May, and I absolutely loved it, the weather was perfect, and it felt busy but still manageable. Now I’m considering a trip to Greece this summer, and someone in my group is really pushing for Santorini again.

I’m a little hesitant, though. I’ve heard that in peak summer months the crowds can get pretty intense, especially in places like Oia and Fira. Part of what I loved last time was being able to actually enjoy the views without feeling packed in.

For those who have been in July or August, is it still worth it? Or does the crowd level take away from the experience? Are there ways to do Santorini in summer that still feel enjoyable, or would you recommend choosing a different island instead?

Favorite shops to buy jewelry in Santorini?

I’m thinking about going back to Santorini next year — I’ve been a few times before and absolutely love the island. This time, though, I want to do something a little different and focus more on shopping, especially for jewelry. I’m looking for cute, unique pieces — either handmade, local designs or anything with a Greek flair that doesn’t feel too mass-produced.

Any favorite shops or designers you’ve come across in Fira, Oia, or even the smaller villages? I’d love to hear where you found your favorite pieces? I want unique things. Like, a friend brought me back a bracelet that was made from beads cut from the Santorini lava stone, but funny enough, she bumped into this piece on Crete. So I thought, I should go to Santorini to get cool stuff like this! Do you have any favorite places to buy jewelry?
