Santorini Island, Greece

Santorini – a romantic Greek escape

Santorini, a stunning Greek island in the middle of the Aegean Sea, was shaped by a massive volcanic eruption in 1450 BC, leaving a dramatic caldera that rises above the waves — a breathtaking sight from the island’s clifftops. With Greece’s long, warm summers, it’s perfect for a holiday from May to October.

The island is pure Greek charm, with whitewashed houses, blue-domed churches, endless vineyards and charming towns. Thira, the capital, sits atop the caldera rim, while Oia is famous for its unforgettable sunsets — ideal for couples seeking romance.

On the east coast, Kamari and Perissa offer silky black-sand beaches, watersports and easy access to Thira, combining a more affordable stay with spectacular views.

With TUI, you can also create an island-hopping holiday, combining Santorini with Mykonos for even more beaches, nightlife and iconic Cycladic scenery, making it a perfect romantic escape.
