Which Festivals Should You Visit in Santorini?
Santorini is famous for its views, sunsets, and whitewashed houses, but the island is also full of traditions and unique events. Two of the most special moments of the year are Holy Friday in Pyrgos during Easter and the Ifestia Festival in September.
Ifestia Festival September trip
In September, Santorini celebrates its volcanic history with the Ifestia Festival. The event is a spectacular show of fireworks over the caldera, recreating the eruption that shaped the island. The night sky fills with color and light, and the view from Fira is one of the best on the island. Guests of Trieris Villa & Suites can enjoy this incredible show right from their balcony or pool.
Holy Friday Spring Escape
During Easter, the village of Pyrgos becomes magical. On Holy Friday evening, thousands of small candles are lit on the rooftops, along the streets, and around the castle. The whole village glows with light, creating a peaceful and moving atmosphere. Visitors can walk through the illuminated alleys and follow the religious procession – it is an experience you will never forget. From Trieris Villa & Suites, Pyrgos is just a short drive away.
