The island is a popular tourist destination, attracting visitors from all over the world for its beautiful beaches, historic sites, and nightlife.

The main town on Santorini is called Fira, which is located on a cliff overlooking the caldera, a large crater created by a volcanic eruption. The town offers panoramic views of the Aegean Sea, and its narrow streets are lined with shops, restaurants, and bars. From Fira, you can take a cable car down to the port, or walk down the famous "donkey trail".

In addition to its beaches and scenic views, Santorini is home to a number of historic and cultural sites, including the Minoan city of Akrotiri, the Venetian castle of Skaros, and the ancient city of Thera.
