About

Tucked away on the southwestern coast of Santorini, Caldera Beach is a hidden gem offering stunning views of the island’s legendary volcanic cliffs and the deep blue Aegean Sea. Known for its peaceful ambiance and authentic charm, this secluded spot is ideal for those seeking a tranquil escape. With excellent opportunities for swimming, snorkeling, and diving, Caldera Beach is a must-visit for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike.

Surrounded by dramatic caldera cliffs, this beach boasts a rugged yet picturesque setting that captivates visitors looking for a unique coastal retreat. Unlike Santorini’s more crowded beaches, Caldera Beach offers a quieter, more intimate experience, perfect for relaxation or underwater exploration. The waters here are remarkably clear, making it one of the top swimming spots in Greece. Divers and snorkelers will find a fascinating underwater landscape teeming with marine life. Although the beach itself is relatively unspoiled, there is a small taverna nearby where visitors can enjoy fresh seafood and traditional Greek dishes. The best time to visit is early morning or sunset when the views over the caldera are truly magical. Just a short drive from the famous Akrotiri village and its ancient ruins, Caldera Beach is one of the best beaches in Santorini for those seeking both history and natural beauty.

Villages

Perched atop the caldera cliffs, Imerovigli is a tranquil village in Santorini, offering panoramic views of the Aegean Sea and the iconic blue-domed churches that define the island's charm. Its name, meaning "Crown of Fira," reflects its elevated position just north of the island's bustling capital. Visitors can wander through narrow, cobblestone streets, explore traditional whitewashed houses, and enjoy breathtaking sunsets. A fun fact: While tourists crowd Oia's narrow streets like sardines trying to catch the famous Santorini sunset, savvy travelers head to Imerovigli - perched 300 meters higher on the caldera, it offers an even more spectacular view. Turns out watching the sun sink into the Aegean is even better when you're not watching it through someone else's selfie stick! The village's nickname "The Balcony to the Aegean" isn't just a marketing gimmick.
