Vlichada Port

Tucked into the south coast of Santorini, Vlichada is the island's only truly sheltered anchorage — a compact, round little harbor where sailboats, speedboats, and fishing vessels ride out even serious storms without drama. The surroundings are striking, with dramatic white pumice cliffs sculpted by wind into otherworldly shapes rising right above the port. If you're leaving your boat unattended for any stretch of time, this is the spot on the island to do it.
