I'm thinking of only visiting Santorini for three days. My friends are a big history lovers and they want to spend most of our trip to Greece in Athens. But I convinced them that there's no way we're visiting Greece without visiting Santorini. So we decided on just three days, what are the must see things to do on the island? Any advice is much appreciated.

I would definitely find a way to get to Oia for at least one of the days, even if it is just for the day. Stay for sunset. There is a nice walk/hike from Fira to Oia, too, which might be nice to do.
For your friends that love history I definitely suggest that you go to the prehistoric town of akrotiri
Ancient thira
The natural history museum
The folklore history museum
The lost Atlantis 9d museum.
That will keep your friends busy well you can sunbathe or have drinks.
Pm me if you need more info

I am going to Santorini soon and I love to shop and get gifts for people.
Could anyone suggest the best souvenirs to take home from Santorini that would give a taste of the local culture and charm to friends and family? I'm looking for things that are unique to the island - something you can't find just anywhere else!
Any tips on where to find these local treasures would be super helpful, too.

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?
