Has anyone visited Santorini before?

[Summerhouse2013]

Would you recommend the Island?

Thinking of a 1 week holiday in October, we're not the sort to sit on a beach all day...is there enough to see / visit? Plenty of restaurants?

Thanks in advance for any helpful suggestions....

It is a beautiful Island. Postcard perfect. High quality restaurants and things to see. The beaches are not great though. Should you get bored there are plenty of boats to take you to nearby island, IOS, Parhos, anthi Paros, Naxos, Lefkas etc etc.

The beaches aren’t really the ‘sit on the beach’ type - very rocky/ashy.

there’s some lovely wineries that give tours, and you can get a boat to other islands
