A stay to remember
When it comes to your stay, location and luxury are key – and Secret Santorini hotels deliver both. Santorini Secret Premium combines elegant architecture with a prime Caldera location, while Secret View Hotel offers stunning views of the volcano from its infinity pool. In Oia, Secret Legends Suites captivates guests with minimalist design and breathtaking sunset views.
Cruise along the coastline of Santorini’s caldera
Experience Santorini’s beauty, natural hot springs and colour-hued beaches on a boat cruise. Visit the White Beach and Red Beach for a spot of swimming and sunbathing. Dip into the relaxing hot springs by the volcano and soak up the sun and sights as you cruise around Santorini. There’s the option to select between a semi-private and private cruise for a more secluded experience; both options offer BBQ on board, alongside drinks and cocktails. Sipping cocktails at sea never felt better.
Horse riding with vistas of the ocean
Channel your inner equestrian and take a journey through the beautiful prehistoric town of Akrotiri on horseback. Surrounded by awe-inspiring vistas, you’ll be shown the best trails passing through the beach of Vlychada, known for its rugged landscape, and picturesque beach Eros. For idyllic rides in the great outdoors with well-trained horses, you couldn’t be better placed. Good to know that all rides are kept to a safe level in line with the riders’ abilities.
Helicopter ride for top-views of Santorini
Treat yourself to a tour of a lifetime with a helicopter ride over Santorini. Once the blades begin to turn, get ready for the ride of your life! Take in astonishing views across the island from a unique vantage point and experience the thrill of being propelled into the air and taken on a tour of Santorini. This is probably the most exclusive way to see Santorini in all its glory on a brilliant 15-minute helicopter tour.
Santorini restaurants for fine dining and the best views
For those looking for the quintessential dining experience with a sunset view in Santorini, there’s no better place than White Rock Restaurant.
