Keeping Santorini’s Real Character Alive in 2025 with iGoHellas
In 2025, we locals are reflecting on our island’s past and present, and reimagining our future, keeping Santorini’s real character alive. Through the “Year of Authenticity” campaign, the Municipality of Thira is inviting Santorini’s residents, professionals, and visitors to welcome a new and more meaningful tourism model.
This new plan is trying to get businesses to show visitors the local culture, traditional life and real experiences instead of just taking them to popular tourist spots. There are public seminars and training sessions to help the local tourism industry become more sustainable, respectful and connected to its roots.
