Things to do in Santorini, no research required

The sunset crowds here pile into the same three spots every evening, and this map is built to get you around them. There’s plenty of galleries, museums and historic buildings well past the obvious caldera viewpoints. If you want the famous view anyway, book a table at KooKoo Bar Restaurant Sunset Rooftop and let someone else fight for standing room. Use the rest of the day for a slow coffee at Iriana or gelato at Lolita’s Gelato before the buses arrive. The island rewards being an hour out of step with everyone else on it.
