part from Fira, the island's capital, and Imerovigli, the unique village built in the lip of the crater a few kilometers away from Fira, there are three other locations on the island that attract many visitors. First is Oia (also known as Apano Meria), the most northerly town, which is picturesque, majestic and wild. Secondly, are Kamari and Perissa, two coastal settlements with a marvellous beach of black sand and all the delights of the seaside. There are also all around the island a lot of traditional villages with unique atmosphere, like Vourvoulos, a cute village not far from Oia, with view to the valley and the sea.

Finally one should mention Akrotiri, with the famous archaelogical site nearby. Naturally enough, accomodation is to be found everywhere in Santorini, in every village, at every beach, and not just in the places we've mentioned.
