Faros Market

Reviewed By 93julz

If you leave Santorini and haven't had lunch here you really missed out on probably the best greek traditional kitchen. There are only a few courses on the menu which is usually a sign of the quality offered and Faros Market fits this stereotype perfectly. You can feel a connection to what you eat since everything they offer comes from their own garden like tomatoes, capers, olives and the goat cheese as they wander around in viewing distance from the terrasse with a beautiful oceanview. It is close to the lighthouse so if you plan on watching the sunset from there stop by and have a try of their local vine and food - you will not be dissapointed????

It is worth the drive! My cousin and I just notice the light house at the end of the island and decided to go search for it!

Caldera Beach

Reviewed By apars0n - Manchester, United Kingdom

Not much of beach, but felt I had to review it as the snorkeling here is out of this world, so much that I returned the following day. Being next to the diving school, I thought it would be a good place to snorkel, but I didn't expect to feel like I was inside an aquarium. Deep- very deep, blue sea and penetrating sunlight made this a magical experience, easily accessible just before the entrance to Akrotiri village, via a steep dusty track.

Red Beach

Red beach Santorini: The red beach is one of the most famous and beautiful of the beaches of Santorini. It is located near the village and ancient site of Akrotiri.

Although we have visited it at the end of October and couldn’t have a bath (some people were still swimming), it is a beautiful beach with a panoramic view, so you should visit it while in Santorini.
