Tholos Holidays

Located in the northern tip of the stunning Greek island of Santorini, this tiny village offers a tranquil escape with panoramic views of the famous caldera and the Aegean Sea. This charming village, perched atop the island’s cliffs, is an ideal destination for relaxation and a hefty dose of that iconic Greek beauty.

Explore the traditional whitewashed buildings, narrow cobblestone streets, and pop into local tavernas serving authentic Greek cuisine. Tholos is a short distance – about 10 minutes on foot – from Oia, known for its world-renowned sunsets, boutique shopping, and art galleries. A leisurely walk or a short drive will take you to the nearby Ammoudi Bay, where fresh seafood restaurants line the water’s edge.

The village itself offers access to hiking trails, including the scenic Oia to Fira route – wear some comfy shoes and in a couple of hours you’ll get to Santorini’s bustling capital. If you’re interested in history, the Akrotiri archaeological site and ancient Thera are within reach, and if you like a drop of good wine, you can enjoy tastings at local vineyards producing Santorini’s signature Assyrtiko wines – delicious.

Tholos is also close to the island’s iconic beaches, such as Red Beach and Perivolos, where you can bask in the sun on the unique volcanic sands. With its serene atmosphere and proximity to Santorini’s best bits, Tholos serves as a perfect base for exploring the island while soaking in its timeless charm.

If you’re visiting Santorini and haven’t yet pencilled in all of your overseas activities, you’re in for a treat. easyJet holidays is proudly supporting the Cyclades Preservation Fund’s campaign in Santorini, Posidonia Alert, which helps to protect Posidonia Oceanica – a vital species of seagrass that absorbs carbon up to 15 times more efficiently than terrestrial forests.

As part of this work, we’re happy to offer a guided snorkelling experience for just £1. The trip will be led by a master diver who knows the caldera – and Santorini – inside out. You’ll have the chance to see the unique Posidonia seagrass meadows for yourself and enjoy swimming in the stunning waters of the Aegean Sea. Plus, the trip includes use of snorkelling equipment, as well as pick up and drop off. Click here to book.
