Where is Santorini Located?
Santorini, a Greek island situated in the Aegean Sea, lies approximately 200 km southeast of Athens, 150 km south of Mykonos, and 140 km north of Crete. Santorini has a population nearing 15,500 residing within its 76 square mile boundaries (comparable to Manhattan). The island itself extends 16 km in length with widths fluctuating between 1 to 5 km. Travel from one end to the opposite takes roughly 45 minutes (e.g. Oia to Akrotiri). Flights to Santorini take 4 hours from London, 3.5 hours from Paris, 2 hours from Rome, and 1 hour from Athens. There exist no direct air routes to Santorini from locations in the USA, Canada, or Australia.
For awesome caldera and volcano views the best towns in Santorini are Oia, Fira, Imerovigli, and Firostefani.
