Walking holidays in Santorini
Walking holidays in Santorini

The Greek islands offer a perfect combination of natural beauty and archaeological interest, with sparkling seas, Mediterranean climate and Greek warmth of welcome. We go to an island of mythic status: Santorini rising from the sea is linked to the legend of Atlantis.

Our walking holidays go to one of the most stunning Greek islands - the dazzling gem of Santorini.

Santorini in the Cyclades, is the picture postcard of the Greek islands. Its whitewashed houses, blue-domed churches and jigsaw of rooftops rise steeply from a sparkling blue sea. Created from a volcanic eruption, it stands in a lagoon, the caldera that is the crater of the sunken volcano. Its sunsets have become more legendary than the myth that Santorini may indeed be the ancient civilisation of Atlantis, supposed to have sunk beneath the sea.

Walking to the highest point of the island affords panoramic views of an island surrounded by clear ultramarine sea. The lanes pass through villages, with picturesque churches and monastery. Coastal routes lead to the fishing villages where fishermen tend their boats.
