The most instagrammable places in Santorini
Santorini is one of the most enchanting and best-known islands in all of Greece. In order to take incredible photos in Santorini, you can just aimlessly wander through the streets of the island and in every corner you will find many opportunities to take some great shots. But if you’re looking for the most famous spots that you have seen over and over on Instagram, you are in the right place!
Oia village
The photos of Santorini that that everybody recognizes immediately, those with the blue domes, have all been taken in Oia, the small village in the northern tip of the island. The three famous blue domes belong to the church of Agios Spyridonas. In Oia you can also explore the small alleys of the village where you will find many hidden and wonderful places, such as the small houses with blue doors and decorated with colorful flowers that stand out against the white walls.
Kastro Oia House
Another very popular and super photographed place in Santorini is Kastro Oia House, a hotel in Oia that emerges from the white houses for its peculiar orange walls and light blue doors.
Ammoudi bay
A truly unique place in Santorini is Ammoudi bay, located at the foot of the village of Oia and just a few minutes’ walk from there. Ammoudi bay is a perfect place to take incredible photos thanks to the red rocky walls that surrounds it, creating a stunning contrast with the blue sea.
Fira
Fira, the capital of the island, is another must-see during a trip to Santorini. In Fira, besides the incredible view of the sea, there are lots of instagrammable places. The church of Koimisi Tis Theotokou stands out in the landscape for its blue dome, just like the church of Oia, but also for its particular bell tower, with three bells that overlook the sea.
Sunsets
Santorini is known for being the island of sunsets. Every day the sun goes down on the sea, painting the sky with shades of pink, orange and yellow and creating a truly breathtaking view. You can appreciate the sunset in Santorini literally from anywhere along the west coast of the island, but one of the most popular spots for taking perfect photos is from the ruins of the Byzantine Castle, because there you will also be able to admire an enchanting view of the white houses of Oia.
