Santorini in April
Average Temperature: 20°C
Traveling to Santorini in April is like catching the island just as it’s waking up from its winter slumber. The crowds are still pretty thin, which means you’ll have a lot more breathing room to explore iconic spots like Oia’s cliffside views and the charming streets of Fira without feeling overwhelmed. The vibe is peaceful and relaxed, perfect if you’re looking to enjoy the beauty of the island without the hustle and bustle of peak tourist season. Plus, many of the local tavernas and shops start to reopen, so you can get a taste of authentic Greek cuisine and hospitality.
That said, it’s not all smooth sailing—some of the beach clubs and boat tours might not be fully up and running yet, so your options for seaside activities could be a bit limited. The weather can be a little unpredictable, with a mix of sunny days and a few cooler, breezy moments, so packing layers is a smart move. Overall, April is a solid choice if you want to see Santorini in a quieter, more natural state, but don’t expect the full-on summer buzz just yet. It’s a great time for sightseeing, photography, and soaking in the island’s unique charm at a slower pace.
