Santorini Shopping

Santorini, with its wide range of shops, meets everyone’s shopping needs and draws visitors from around the globe due to the variety of stores it offers. A wide range of products is also available, from inexpensive souvenirs to both international and Greek brands.

The majority of shops are concentrated in the two main villages of the island, Fira and Oia, which are also the two most popular settlements in Santorini. However, a few shops can be found in other villages, including Firostefani, Imerovigli, Pyrgos, Kamari, and Perissa. During the summer months, these shops are open until late at night, offering a unique shopping experience.

Santorini is especially known for its jewelry boutiques, with the famous Gold Street (or Ypapantis Street) housing an array of elegant jewelry shops, that boast masterpieces crafted by some of the most famous Greek jewelry artists. The same goes for Oia village, as it houses several stores, adding to the overall count of more than 40 jewelry shops in Santorini. Most of the jewelry items, including necklaces, bracelets, rings, watches, and precious stones, are handcrafted with great care. For those looking for one-of-a-kind pieces, custom-made jewelry are also available upon request.

What is more, Santorini, Oia in particular, is famous for its art scene. Throughout its settlements, you can visit exclusive art galleries that not only feature the folk art of the island but also offer a journey into Greek contemporary art. Besides the promising Greek artists, of course, one can find works of art by world-renowned artists. Paintings, icons, ceramics, marble, and wooden sculptures, among other artworks, can be admired and purchased at these galleries. In addition, there are antique shops and other stores, where you can buy engravings, heirlooms, hand-woven textiles, embroideries, and knitted carpets.

Along the cobblestoned streets of the island, there are loads of souvenir shops and boutiques. You can find a great variety of souvenirs and gifts for you and your loved ones as well as trendy clothing, accessories, and fabrics. Besides the typical souvenirs, including postcards, magnets, T-shirts, and knickknacks, you can buy clothes that suit your personal style, created by original designers, as well as local handmade items, and other unique pieces.

Additionally, one can take home the delicious local products of Santorini! This includes items such as white eggplant seeds, tomato seeds, tomato puree, fava beans, as well as a bottle of ouzo and raki (traditional Greek liquors), which are among the durable goods you can take back to your country and share with your friends. The well-loved product of Santorini is without a doubt its wine. The fine wine varieties of the island can travel with you in a bottle (or more!) to help keep your memories alive.
