Therasia (with baby)
How Baby-Friendly is Therasia?
Babies are allowed, but many stairs, pebbly shores and no changing rooms make movement hard; only short stroller stretches and basic cafés offer brief relief.
Positives:
- Low Crowds: Therasia receives fewer visitors than Santorini, making it quieter for families.
- Compact Layout: Key spots lie close together, reducing walking distance with a baby.
Challenges:
- Uneven Paths: Many alleys are narrow or cobbled, making stroller use tricky.
- Limited Baby Facilities: Few public restrooms have baby changing tables; plan ahead.
What is Therasia?
- A volcanic island forming the western rim of Santorini’s submerged caldera and rising sharply from the Aegean Sea
- A collection of traditional Cycladic villages defined by whitewashed houses, blue-domed chapels and narrow stone pathways
- A rugged terrain of volcanic cliffs and terraces retaining minimal modern development and authentic island charm
What is so special about Therasia for with baby?
- Ferry ride from Oia costs €1 per adult, baby travels free
- Stroll cobbled lanes of Manolas with minimal crowds
- Gentle, shallow swim at pebbly Korfos Bay with baby shoes
- Shaded family cafés offer high chairs and snacks
Note: Therasia is 40% Baby-Friendly. You may want to consider other Baby-Friendly Things to Do in Santorini for a more suitable experience.
Recommended visit duration: 2-3 hours
Why 2-3 hours visit duration is ideal for with baby: Allows time for the ferry, a Manolas stroll, a short swim at Korfos Bay and a café break without rushing.

Traditional Greek town, beautiful sunset views over to Mykonos. Much quieter and less of a tourist trap. Authentic Greece experience, friendly and knowledgeable locals who are more than welcoming. Not as many restaurants but lovely fresh food nevertheless. Recommend a visit.
