Villages
Where to base yourself
- Oia — the postcard view, busiest
- Fira — capital, nightlife, cable car
- Imerovigli — calm, best caldera views
- Pyrgos — traditional, no crowds
- Kamari / Perissa — black-sand beaches
Timing
When it's busy
- Cruise days = packed Fira & Oia by noon
- Oia sunset fills up 1–2 hours early
- April–May & late Sept–Oct = calmest
- Mornings before 9 = best light, no crowds
Worth it
Don't miss
- Fira → Oia walking path (in sections)
- Ancient Akrotiri + Red Beach
- Volcanic-soil wine tasting
- A quiet sunset spot away from Oia
Skip it
Common mistakes
- ATV rental without insurance check
- Oia dinner with no plan for the walk back
- Expecting sandy beaches everywhere
- Walking between villages — it's far
