Things To Do
Join The Festivities

Get ready for a Santorini fiesta at the Agia Paraskevi Festival which usually happens at the end of July  ,the iconic whitewashed church in the heart of the village throws the ultimate bash. The day kicks off with a candle-lit ceremony inside, turning the quaint town into a sea of flickering lights. But that’s just the beginning! Head to the church grounds for a feast of crafts, mouth-watering Greek delights, and live bands that’ll have you dancing Zorba-style. It’s a celebration that paints the town white —literally Ouzo flows, Greek tunes echo, and the Aghia Paraskevi Festival becomes a lively ode to summer nights in Santorini.

Make A Splash

Dive into adventure at Platania's Beach and elevate your beach experience with thrilling watersports! Try your hand at jet skiing and feel the rush of the Aegean breeze as you skim the azure waves. If you crave a more leisurely pace, opt for paddleboarding, which will allow you to explore the crystalline waters. For the more adventurous, plunge into the depths while snorkelling to discover the vibrant marine life beneath. The beachside vibe is buzzing with excitement, and expert lifeguards make every activity accessible ensuring a fun yet a safe time for everyone!

Shopping Escapade

Unleash your shopaholic spirit at Agia Paraskevi! Bag some traditional gifts such as the Santorini-style leather bracelet with glass eye beads at the quaint stores and little markets just a 5-minute walk from the city centre. Gettin’ all posh? Skiathos Town is another great place to go shopping and it’s only 10-minute cab trip away. Tucked in the side streets between Papadiamanti Street and the old port, discover gift shops where jewellery sparkles in cabinets, and model boats crafted from driftwood tell tales of the sea. It's shopping magic with a sprinkle of Greek charm!

Get Your Fins Ready 

Dive into the crystal-clear waters and practically high-five the rainbow-hued marine squad up to 30 meters away. The dive centres in this seaside city are your underground playgrounds offering everything from PADI courses for newbies to thrilling advanced divers. And guess what? They even host night dives for the brave souls ready to meet the underwater A-listers who party after the dark!

Mesostrato Magic 

Indulge in the flavours of Mesostrato Tavern, your taste sanctuary! Imagine yourself on a lovely patio, dancing to the rhythms of lamb souvlaki, prawn sagnaki or the freshest calamari symphony. The pièce de résistance, though, is this: an open kitchen in which the cook transforms mundane foods into works of culinary art. Get ready for the show-stopping finish, we recommend the sticky baked apple encore with cinnamon spices or the delicious mixed fruit encore with yoghurt and honey to satisfy your taste buds.
