Santorini is a promise: that of an island that always knows how to move you, in every season. It is the place where the sea kisses the black cliffs, where the white houses shine with their own light, where sunset becomes a ritual and where every moment, if shared with the right person, seems to belong to another dimension.

A romantic weekend in Santorini is a concentrate of beauty, poetry and little experiences to savour slowly: perfect to surprise, to celebrate an anniversary, for a romantic getaway or simply to find precious time and silence again.

To help you organise the perfect weekend, here is a complete guide divided by season, with tips on what to do, where to stay, which boutique hotels to choose and where to admire the most incredible sunsets in the Aegean.

Spring in Santorini (March – May)

The island awakens, the air is scented and the light is softer.

Spring is one of the most romantic times of all: temperatures are pleasant, the villages are not yet crowded and the colours of the caldera seem even more intense.

What to do in spring

• A hand-in-hand walk from Fira to Oia along the caldera trail: 10 km of pure poetry.
• An aperitif with sea view in Firostefani, one of the most panoramic spots.
• A romantic sunset tasting in a traditional winery, sampling Assyrtiko and Vinsanto.
• Exploring authentic villages such as Pyrgos and Megalochori, perfect for taking unforgettable photos.

Where to stay

Elegant yet intimate boutique hotels are recommended, where privacy and design blend together:

• Agali Houses – Firostefani
Private terraces overlooking the caldera, infinity pool, rooms carved into the rock. Ideal for couples looking for peace and a spectacular view.

• Cavo Tagoo Santorini – Imerovigli
Mid-to-high price range, but impeccable romantic services: private jacuzzi, soft lighting, breakfasts served in the suite and unforgettable sunsets.

Summer in Santorini (June – September)

It is the time of the sea, boat trips and shared sunsets.

Summer brings energy, intense light and long days: perfect for a dynamic romantic getaway.

What to do in summer

• Sunset catamaran trip: swimming in the red waters of Red Beach, snorkelling and dinner on board.
• Couples’ relaxation on the black beach of Perissa or on the grey volcanic sand of Kamari.
• Afternoon excursion to the volcano and the hot springs.
• A romantic dinner with caldera view in Imerovigli, the quietest and most panoramic village on the island.

Where to stay

For a special summer weekend, choose hotels with private pools:

• San Antonio – Imerovigli
Luxurious yet intimate boutique hotel: infinity pool carved into the rock, private terraces and an intimate atmosphere.

• Aressana Spa Hotel – Fira
Perfect for those who want romance + city centre. Excellent spa, couples’ massages, bright rooms and an elegant pool.

Autumn in Santorini (October – November)

The season of calm, warm colours and the most intense sunsets of the whole year.

Autumn makes Santorini softer. The light is golden, the pace slows down, temperatures remain pleasant and the island shows itself in its most authentic version.

What to do in autumn

• Photo tour in the alleys of Oia or Thira without the summer crowds.
• Tastings in local wineries (the perfect period for wine) and enjoying local specialities.
• Trekking in the inland villages, among stone walls and flowered courtyards.
• Sunset spa in a boutique hotel.

Where to stay

Autumn allows you to save a little and treat yourself to higher-category hotels:

• Grace Hotel Santorini – Auberge Resorts
Few suites, impeccable service, a caldera view that takes your breath away. One of the best romantic experiences in the Aegean.

• Chromata Hotel – Imerovigli
Minimalist rooms, hanging pools and private dinners organised on request.

Winter in Santorini (December – February)

Silence, intimacy and rarefied colours. A perfect choice for couples seeking peace.

Although many properties close, winter in Santorini is poetic: the sky changes colour constantly, the island is empty and the villages look like they have been painted.

What to do in winter

• Panoramic walks with no one around.
• Intimate dinners in the tavernas open all year round.
• Exploring Oia, Imerovigli and Thira as if they were yours alone.

Where to stay

Opt for hotels open all year round:

• On The Rocks – Imerovigli
Extremely romantic, perfect for couples who want intimacy and a postcard-perfect view.

• Aqua Luxury Suites
Suites with indoor hydromassage tubs, perfect for the cooler weather.

The most romantic sunsets in Santorini

Sunset is a ritual, and sharing it with your other half is one of the island’s most intense experiences.

Oia the timeless classic: incredible colours, white houses turning to gold and an emotional crowd: iconic.
Imerovigli the most romantic: quiet, elegant, perfect for couples.
Firostefani calm and perfect view: one of the best areas for photography and serenity.
By boat the most exclusive: sunset catamaran trip: a dream.
