Santorini insider information

• Santorini is a hot-spot during the summer months. If you want a relaxing vacation, avoid flights to Santorini during July and August. The island is bursting at the seams with visitors and it's nearly impossible to move through the streets. For a quieter holiday, visit the island in the spring and autumn months.
• The beaches are breathtaking. Don't miss a trip to "Red Beach". As the name suggests, the beach's red sand is the focal point. It's an unbelieveable sight -- the red volcanic rocks serve as the backdrop to the red sand that flows out into the blue Aegean Sea. The combined colours are like nothing you've ever seen before.
• Wine loves should take a tour of The Wine Museum. The Volcan Wines winery hosts this museum, where visitors can get an in-depth look at Santorini wine production from the past few centuries. You might enjoy a wine tasting or two while you're there.
