Santorini coloring pages

A sunny day in Oia, on the Greek island of Santorini, comes to life with a round domed church, a little bell tower with a cross and a winding white path. Across the water, a sailboat glides past steep cliffs, and a potted plant sits on the wall by the steps. Big shapes and thick lines suit children aged about 2 to 5. Color the domes bright blue, leave the walls white and use a cheerful yellow for the sun.

Blue domes and white walls are the classic sight in Oia, Santorini, Greece, and this page gathers them in one cheerful view. A bell tower with two hanging bells stands next to a domed church, while stepped houses climb the cliff behind. Potted flowers bloom on both sides of a stone path, a sailboat crosses the sea and fluffy clouds drift by. It fits kids aged about 5 to 10. Use a bold cobalt blue for the domes and pink or coral for the flowers to make the page feel like summer.

Santorini’s cliffs were shaped by a huge volcanic eruption about 3,600 years ago, and this detailed scene looks across that caldera from the village of Oia, Greece. Two domed churches, a bell tower with arches, a café umbrella and cube-shaped houses tumble down the slope. Flowering vines climb around a doorway, potted plants line the steps and a sailboat rests on the calm sea below. Fine lines make it ideal for older kids and adults. Try watercolor pencils, then brush lightly with water to soften the sea and sky.

A tabby cat naps on a patterned cushion in the corner of this lively terrace in Oia, on the island of Santorini, Greece. Ornate pots overflow with flowers, a wrought-iron gate and bistro set stand beside the path, and a citrus tree grows on the left. Beyond the bell tower and lattice-patterned domes, three sailboats cross a rippling sea under a starburst sun and swirling clouds. Every surface carries a motif, filling the page edge to edge for experienced adult colorists. Pick a sea palette of navy, turquoise and white, then add touches of lemon and magenta.
