This cliffside hike is one of the best ways to take in the island, spanning approximately 9 km from Fira to Oia, with Imerovigli and several smaller villages in between. It’s not difficult, but parts of it are steep, rocky, and exposed, so bring water, sturdy shoes, and start early to avoid the midday heat. Expect churches, caldera views, and the occasional detour through quiet paths. It takes around 3–4 hours, depending on pace and photo stops. Ending in Oia means you can reward yourself with dinner and a view—just be ready for the crowds if you hit sunset.

T.K. Place (formerly Tzamia-Krystalla) is a well-established, picturesque hillside art gallery on Santorini, showcasing and selling ceramics, jewellery, paintings, and sculpture by Greek artists—everything carefully curated and one of a kind. Prices vary, but even if you’re just browsing, it’s a relaxed space to take in some local creativity.

Umeå brothers Samuel and Michael Åhdén possess one of the world’s largest privately owned collections of guitars. In 2014, the whole world got a chance to see it. You can visit the experience-based, interactive exhibition of electric guitars, basses, amps and music accessories at Umeå Guitar Museum. The museum houses about 500 exhibits altogether. Alongside the permanent exhibition, the museum arranges lectures, temporary exhibitions and presentations of new developments. World stars will also visit the museum during the year and hold ‘clinics’ — open guitar lessons.
