The Santozeum
About
In Santorini, The Santozeum occupies Agiou Mina in Thira, placing it within the island's main town. The museum holds a 3.9 out of 5 average across 61 reviews, a score that reflects a steady stream of visitors rather than a fleeting crowd.
Its own website at http://www.santozeum.com/ carries the museum's information for anyone planning a visit. Fira, Oia, Imerovigli, Firostefani, Pyrgos, Megalochori, Emporio and Kamari sit within reach, so the museum can be folded into a day of moving between the island's villages.
First-time visitors can expect a museum visit that fits neatly into a morning or afternoon in Thira, with the town's other stops close at hand. Orthodox Easter is the biggest religious festival, and village panigyria mark saints' days through the summer, which shapes when the island is at its liveliest.
Ferries and high-speed catamarans connect the islands to Piraeus, Rafina and each other, though winter services are fewer, and the meltemi, a strong northerly wind, blows across the Aegean in summer and can delay ferries. The season runs roughly from May to October, with August the busiest month for ferries and beaches.
