What to Wear in Santorini
For the woman on the caldera
What to wear in Santorini, from the Oia sunset to catamaran day on the caldera to cliffside dinners. Kaftans and dresses that get you noticed. Free US shipping
For the woman who wants the island to remember her. Here is what to wear for every part of your Santorini trip.
Santorini is white walls, blue domes, black-sand beaches, and the most photographed sunset on earth. You want pieces that read polished the second you step out onto a cliffside terrace and still let you move through a day of steps and sun.
The Memi
The Memi print was made for the woman who arrives unhurried, stays a little longer, and is remembered by the whole room. It carries the same energy Santorini has always had. Sandals for the walk, a kaftan that moves in the breeze, a scarf for the boat. Nothing fussy. Everything intentional. Wear the Memi Goddess Kaftan over your swimsuit for a day by the pool, then again with sandals for the sunset in Oia. One suitcase, many entrances.

Fira
The island's main town, perched right on the edge of the caldera. First impressions happen fast here, over a drink with the whole caldera spread out below you. Wear a kaftan in a color that carries against all that white.

Catamaran and Caldera Day
You sail past the red beach and the white beach, swim in the warm springs, and drift toward golden hour with a glass in your hand. A one-size goddess kaftan takes you from the water to the dock without a change.

The Villages
The blue domes and painted churches of Oia, the winding lanes of Fira, the quiet corners of Imerovigli. A shirt dress or an easy day dress photographs beautifully against white walls and blue doors.

Oia
The tables with a view fill up fast, the light turns gold and then pink. A goddess kaftan in a bold print does the work of a gown with none of the fuss, and it catches that last light better than anything.

Perissa and Kamari
Black sand, warm and dramatic, lined with clubs made for slow afternoons and cold drinks. A kaftan that doubles as a cover-up walks straight from the sun lounger to the bar without a change.

Frequently Asked
What should I wear in Santorini?
Flowing kaftans and easy dresses in strong color, flat sandals for the cobblestones and steps, and one showstopper for a sunset dinner in Oia.

For dinner, yes. The cliffside restaurants in Oia and Fira are where people dress up and where the views make every table feel like an occasion.
What shoes should I wear for the cobblestones and steps?
Flat, broken-in sandals. Bring two flat pairs for day and one slightly dressier flat for dinner.
