Shopping in Santorini can be great fun. Tiny shops flank the cobble streets, while beautiful galleries, quality leather shops & loads of Gold shops sit side by side with local handicrafts & small souvenir shops offering cheap buys. Prices range from the very expensive to the ludicrously cheap.

Fira town has the main shopping center, since it is the island capital. But Oia, with its' Art Deco Galleries, Gold Shops, & Handmade Wooden Artifacts on the north coast & Kamari Beach with its' seaside promenade, boutiques & Ethnic Craft Shops on the south east, are excellent places to visit.
