The permanent population of 13.000 people lives in 14 villages. It is situated 130 nautical miles from Piraeus in the north and 70 nautical miles from Crete in the South.

Region
Experience the romance of southern Santorini whether falling in love with Pyrgos, visiting the wineries of Megalochori, swimming from the volcanic shores of Red Beach or watching the sunset from Akrotiri Lighthouse.
Start your explorations by visiting the hilltop village of Pyrgos and be captivated by its charm and panoramic views. It’s here you can truly soak up the authenticity of Santorini without the tourist crowds of Oia, and the sunsets are still magical. The ruins of the Venetian Castle at the top of the village afford the most wonderful vistas across the island.
Another beautiful village is 17th century Megalochori, surrounded by vineyards and considered one of Santorini’s hidden gems. Stop off for lunch in a taverna in the main square and listen out for the chiming belltower. Be sure to visit one the village’s family-run wineries that produce Vinsanto, a sweet wine made from grapes left out to dry in the sun, then aged in oak barrels. Across past centuries the wine industry brought great wealth to this part of the island.
For change of scene, spend time by the beaches of the eastern coast – Perissa is considered the best beach resort in Santorini, sheltered from the island winds by Mesa Vouno. There’s sun beds and parasols along the beach, a range of watersports, seafood restaurants facing the sea and an overall laidback ambience across the town’s beachside bars.
Other unique coastal destinations include the volcanic pebbles of Red Beach and the dark rocks of Black Beach, both located on the south-west corner of the island. Southern Santorini is also home to the ancient site of Akrotiri and the incredible Akrotiri Lighthouse overlooking the edge of the caldera, an especially idyllic spot at sunset.
Kids
Best Suited For: TeensVilla Theras welcomes children over 12 years old.
With lots of scenic walking and bike trails, plenty of beautiful calm swimming beaches and exciting historic sites, Skopelos is the perfect holiday destination for families with older children.
Teens will enjoy exploring the two towns on the island; Pyrgos is built on a hill with an old castle on top and fantastic views. Emporio is flatter and smaller, but both offer plenty of opportunities to get happily lost. The cobbled streets of Oia and Fira may also be of interest. Ice cream, crepes, and a few stories about exploding volcanoes will add to the experience. Periss has a good selections of watersports.
There is the Kamari open air cinema. The movies aren't always kid-friendly, so check the schedule in advance, but they're usually popular movies in English (with Greek subtitles).
Swimming spots such as Kamari Beach, Perissa Black Beach and the famous Red Beach will provide an excellent day out too.
