Hi there. There’s a link in the description of where we stayed.

Finally a travel programme about Santorini that isn’t trying to be flashy, but actually useful. Thanks for this.
Went to santorini 2 years ago for my honeymoon. It was a dream! Locals were the kindest people we’ve met! We stayed in Imerovigli and about 30-45 mins walk to Fira. If you want good, cheap food ask the locals! Our hotel did our bookings for restaurants and tours. Definitely do the wine tasting and boat sunset tour. We also hiked from Imerovigli to Oia down to Ammoudi Bay. Definitely slept like a baby that night haha. We really can’t wait to go back and also visit the other islands!
It must have been so romantic. I hope I can have that experience too very soon.
I’d recommend staying in firastefani. It’s a 10 minute picturesque walk to Fira and it’s nowhere near as crowded. There’s lots of restaurants nearby too and you don’t really need to book.
Probably one of the most insightful travel videos I've ever seen!
Oh my gosh, this was the most informative and comprehensive holiday tips, video I have ever watched. You have given us many tips, that will become very valuable and very appreciated from our family. Thank you very much :)
I try 😜
I've watched both of your videos on Santorini and you give the best information. Thank you.
You have no idea how helpful this was. Thank you 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽🙏🏽😃
I really enjoyed the video and the tips !!! Love the content, the narrative style and just everything:)
greentealover Not sure if you’re aware but I also have a Santorini vlog that accompanies this video also.
Thank you, best review of Santorini; straight to the point.
Travelling to Greece in November is a good sign
Thanks for the tips
Very helpful video.
I really loved this video! New favourite travel blog :D
Thanks. We visited Santorini before, but your wonderful vlog made us want to go again. When the Corona misery is over, that is.
The most useful video yet.
Thank you.❤
This was probably the helpful Greece vlog ever! Thank you!
LOVE all these information. Thanks.
Wanted to say thank you soo much for this video! I found this extremely helpful, followed your advice and had a blast!!
Glad it helped!
Travelling to Greece in September. Thank you for your travel tips. I enjoy your blog 😀
Thinking of doing the same. I’m a woman in my 50’s going to check out some travel buddy websites to share expenses.
Brilliant video, very useful as I’m off to Santorini in a few days. Thank you
very informative video, thank you so much!
Thank you for showing the real side of things. Good heads up!👍🏾
Planning a trip this summer so this is very helpful !
Thank you so much! This is such a helpful video. We leave in just over a month and our first stop is Santorini, so glad I stumbled across your vid!
Well that's a very nice and informative video of our island 🌋Good job!!!
I just came back from Santorini (April 13) and found your review. It is very accurate.
We were there in the same period!! I came back sunday 14.04.'19 🥰🥰🥰
how were the crowds at the airport in April?
What was the weather like in april will be there april the 13ths too
Hi! I just found your channel and I'm already a big fan!
Best travel vlog ever! Love you guys!☺❤👍
Hi Pedro, welcome! Hope you enjoy our other travel vlogs too! 😊
Renting a scooter/atv/car is a must if you want to witness the sunset in Akrotiri lighthouse.
It's not a crowded area and you got a clear view as the sun sets on the horizon.
Very useful information. Many thanks for the video!
Planning a trip for 2021 (hopefully!) and this was so helpful thank you!
We too!
Same here
BTW my aunt mom's lives theee I can assure you it's paradise
We are too!! August 2021!!!
@@JustSomeShorts23 Girlfriend and I booked ours for September! Can't wait!
🌄 absolutely one of the most beautiful Island in Greece.
Dope Video! Sending blessing your way, Keep inspiring!🎒🙌🏻
Going in October, cannot waittttt
Superb information for tourist chumps. Go and have an adventure.
This is one of the most beautiful vlogs out there that I've seen. eve
Flying to it next week. Nice video!
Thanks a lot for your feedback!
Informative video. Glad i landed on this channel.
Loved your information! Thank You .
Planning a trip in June and this is very helpful thank you
Great information and video! I'm going in October so am trying to get as much info before I go. Your video is very helpful! Thank you!
You're gonna love it!
It's fabulous,if you are staying in Fira,use the bus service to go to Akrotiri (about 2€) and Oia (1.60€) make sure you don't miss the last bus from Oia (10.00 or it will cost you about 30€ to get a taxi back.
Try the street food stalls in Fira,a Gyro's is only 2.90€.
Kia is spectacular,we stayed there,but the evenings are quite laid back,fire is More lively.
The airport is not the best,I'd say it was the worst part,but apparently it's going to have a makeover soon.
Thank God for this channel!
Wonderful place!. been in Santorini may2015,
Santorini IS stunning!
Thank you for amazing content! I will be striving to be on this level in creation!
wow great tips! Thank you so much for sharing. Can't wait to go there :)
Very helpful video....thanks for post.
Wife & i are just back from 11 days in Santorini (May) ...We stayed in Kamari which is on the east side of the island...Great spot & the bus into Thira was 1.80 euros each....A little tip if you want to see the sunset in Oia... Take a boat trip ...We went to Oia on the bus & the best spots to watch the sunset were taken at least 1 hour 30 mins before hand...Took a boat excursion a few days later & the sunset was amazing ... Kamari is great with a real chilled out atmosphere ..Definitely going back next year... PS... The Airport is a nightmare for departures.
Could you tell me which boat excursion you went on?
hola!!!yo tambien voy en mayo de este año del 3 al 10. que tal el tiempo en esas fechas y hay mucha gente o no? porque dices lo del aeropuerto de santorini? nosotros salimos desde alli a la vuelta!!!! gracias de antemano. un saludo :)
Was it warm enough to swim in May?
@@VictoriaMorrisa ... We never swam in the sea the whole time we where there, but we did see people swimming... I suspect July & August would be the best time to swim... :)
Great video mate :) I'm in santorini now just got engaged here absolutely beautiful place. Everything including the airport is much quieter right now haven't needed to book anywhere unless it's to make sure the table is on the first row of the view :)
Congratulations! Thanks for the update in terms of how busy it is. It will help others going outside the dates that we went in June.
Thank you so much! It was very helpfull!
Thanks for the video, it helped a lot
Thanks for all your recommendations. We will take all your suggestions very seriously.
Oh thankeww for this valuable video
It’s very clear 😉thankeww
Just came back from Greece Saturday and I'm all smiles watching this video. Did the sunset dinner cruise which included the volcano excursion it was amazing. The food at Rastoni restaurant was amazing. Yes the airport was a bit much to deal with with limited seating, especially if your flight is delayed. The nights were very cool temp wise. I wish we had spent extra days to see more of the island. We only did 3 days in Santorini. Before that we did 3 days in Mykonos and 4 days in Athens. Mykonos was my fave but i loved Greece overall🥰 having serious withdrawals 😣
Great to hear your experience and time there... 😊
What are the reasons you favor Mykonos over Santorini. I am planning a trip to Santorini or Mykonos and cant decide! Hope for your helpful insights =)
Hey, good info. Thanks
5.50 for the frappe, yeap that keeps on reminding me why I was never able to visit Santorini, although I am Greek.
The going into shops for the air-conditioning we are doing it too hahahahaha.
The airport is normal for a non big city airport. Immagine that this number of people you get them 2 max 3 months per year. Plus a bigger airport would mean higher expenses to maintain it, and guess who pays those in all airports around the globe.
Great info.Thanks!
Enjoyed Santorini!!
A holiday dream destination!!
See my memories clips!
What a beautiful place WOW 😳
Thank you so much, really helpful!
Bravo!! Great video
thanks for this video, super helpful! I'm going in June!
How was your trip? Any tips you like to share?
I always look forward to your journals. Very impressive
Thanks Steven. I’m never sure what a video like this might mean to someone who isn’t necessarily planning an actual trip to the place featured. 🤔
Good to know! Although that one will probably take a while so I appreciate your patience! Thanks again.
My fiance and I are eloping In santorini in 2020. Thank you for the videos
Such a good travel video! I wish I had watched before visiting Santorini!
Will go to Santorini soon!
Thank you for the proper guidance
I LOVE the amount of dedication you have towards giving out useful information. We are travelling to Santorini in May with a 3 year old so every little bit of information helps. Thanks for the info on airports. I am hoping its not so crazy in May *fingers crossed*. Do you have any recommendations for good eating spots in Oia?
Hi. Thank you. Only the suggestions I make in this video and there’s a bit more in the vlog version video I have made to accompany this one. Don’t worry too much about the airports, it will be fine.
Really enjoyed these talking points! I think I'll stay in Oia!
Those stairs!!!
Thank you so much for your video! helped a lot !
You’re welcome!
Amazing!!!
My family and I took a bus tour of some of the best spots on the island, it was amazing. It was an all day tour and the tour guide explained everything. It was also affordable only 40 euros. So beautiful and worth it! Great tips thank you!
Thank you Alexia for your feedback. I am overwhelmed with all the activities the island has to offer. This is a great starting point. There is also a cooking workshop, did you attend? any other activities you highly recommend?
If you use the bus depot in fira,You can get to most places for € 1.60/€2.00..!
very well explained. thank you.
About the airport, i visited in mid April of this year -solo, no crowds , rather relaxed pace, beautiful air approach -sitting on the left side of the plane, needed a few more seats at departure lounge though, stayed in Imerovigli, excellent caldera views, very postcard i must say, and no crowds just like i hoped and wanted, loved your video, i just have to visit again, Zakynthos is amazing too, Greece was at the top of my bucket list. (Trinidad and Tobago)
Great video!thx a lot!!!
The video looks good, very interesting👍
Great video! Thank you
August 2022.....hear we come
Great info as were going May 22
Pro tip from a guy in Athens: Whenever the store owner says the point of sales terminal is not "working" say "OK I will pay it when you fix it". If you are paying with a credit card even when the network connection goes down you can still pay. Also most of these machines nowadays have mobile data modems ( no cables only a charging cradle) so it will always work. Usually the POS terminal works if you threaten the owner to leave without paying. Also by law every legal store ( not a guy selling counterfeit products in a shadowy alley) are obliged to accept plastic. Additionally if you don't get a legitimate receipt ( usually at dining places this happens) you are not obliged to pay. If you get a hand written note or a thermal print that does not indicate net cost/VAT/total /timestamp and the store's tax number it's a phony receipt and you may leave without paying.
Santorini’s airport has been renovated and modernised
Awesome tips! We are planning a trip in July for a wedding and I am trying to watch as many of these as I can to get an idea. Thank you!
Thanks! Not sure if you’re interested but I’ve also done a 4 day Santorini travel vlog which is here: ruclips.net/video/PkyPumk8330/видео.html Thanks again.
I'm working in Santorini if you need any tips I can help :)
Oh wow thats so cool, me and my friend are also visiting in July, from Sweden :)
Marianthi Haneul hello, what’s your profile on fb ? I’ll like more info and maybe some guidance when I visit next year
@@HaneulPink You are really from Santorini,.....
SANTORINI i love this place
Good documentary
Restaurant called The Ouzeri in thera/Fira. Set back and looks out over the other side to caldera. One of the best places I've ever been. Amazing food at reasonable price. If you're going to santorini you have to eat there!
It's so beautiful. Great places. I love it. Thank you!
Pls make more vids around different countries in Europe, i love how you organize your vlog!its very helpful!
Heading there tomorrow!
Thanks for the tips! Looking forward to my stay.
Loved your comment about what the headlines would be if you rented a vehicle! I was thinking the exact same thing but with it being, 'Silly Canadian tourist.'
Very helpful video
3 years from now. Mau God bless all of my plans 🙏
Very useful thanks
love your vlogs :))
This is terrific!
Thanking you! There’s lots more like it on our channel welcome!
Great information! I wish I had seen this video before I made my trip. I stayed three nights but I could have very well stayed four or five nights. I stayed June 15-18, 2019 and it was very hot with lots of tourists. I hope to go back in September when it’s cooler. You paid WAY too much for “good” food! There are some really good ”cheap” eats. I enjoyed Roku. No view but the food was pretty good.
thank you!
best place in the world!!!!!
This is a fantastic videoo
Me and my family went to Santorini over a year ago. Amazing beautiful place. We stayed for 7 days at a hotel and rode in the buses for about a day. I ended up renting a vehicle.
We're planning on going back soon, but, this time, we'll be renting a place.
Thank you very informative. I am going to Santorini Sept 2020 for a wedding.
We'll adore our time together here, as much as at home. It's going to be delightful! Provided were together Bill. It's all that really matters. The rest is whipped cream on our strawberries.
