The must-see attractions
• Take a “lantza” (small local ferry) from Santorini to the port of Riva, also known as Saint Irene. In this area you will find a few shops and buses.
• Manolas is the capital of the island, build on the top of a cliff, offering an amazing view to the Caldera and the shimmering lights of Santorini.
• The port of Korfos is just below Manolas. 250 steps connect the two settlements. Waiting for the boats back to Santorini is the perfect opportunity to visit the seafront taverns.
• The impressively decorated Monastery of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary awaits you in Agrilia.
• Panagia Giatrissa is considered by the locals as a miraculous church at the bougainvillea dominated area of Potamos.
