What to see in Santorini

1. Oia (coucher de soleil)
   Oia sits right on the edge of the caldera, and the sun drops into the sea behind whitewashed houses and blue domes.
2. Fira & caldeira
   Fira sits right on the edge of the caldera cliff, with the view dropping straight onto the flooded crater and the volcanic island of Nea Kameni.
3. Akrotiri (site archéologique)
   Akrotiri is a Bronze Age town buried under volcanic ash, and its streets, multi-storey houses and staircases are still standing.
4. Plage Rouge
   On the south coast of Santorini, Red Beach sits under a cliff of dark red volcanic rock that stands out against the black pebbles and clear water.
5. Perissa (plage noire)
   Perissa is one of Santorini's long black volcanic sand beaches, set below the Mesa Vouno mountain on the island's east coast.
6. Musée de la Préhistoire de Théra
   This museum gathers finds from Akrotiri and other sites around the island, and tells the story of how people lived on Santorini in the Bronze Age, before the eruption that reshaped it.
7. Metaxy Mas
   This taverna sits in Exo Gonia, a village in the centre-south of the island that has stayed away from the busiest tourist routes.
8. Selene
