Santorini — Five-Day Local Itinerary

The most authentic hilltop village where locals live year-round.

💡 Walk to the top for the best sunset view that isn't Oia.

A meeting spot for both expats and locals in the Pyrgos square.

💡 Excellent Greek coffee and a good place to listen to village gossip.

Consistently voted best food on the island by residents; zero caldera ego.

💡 Order the beetroot salad and the fava.

Owned by the island's farmers; sells local produce at fair rates.

💡 Great shop to buy PDO Fava and Caper berries to take home.

The 'Pompeii of the Aegean'—a source of immense local pride.

💡 It's all indoors, making it great for early morning heat.

The absolute edge of the island where the wind is the only crowd.

💡 Bring a jacket; it gets very windy here.

An iconic independent bookshop built into a cave house.

💡 Check out the handwritten notes from the owners on the shelves.

Ammoudi is where the fishing boats actually dock.

💡 Sit right by the water's edge, but watch out for splashes from boats.
