Travel tips for Santorini, Greece:
- The last tender boat back to the ship leaves at 4:30.
- Allow ample travel time for your destinations. You need to drive to the popular sites.
- Plan for big lines to get back onto the ship is bonkers for the cable cars and tenders!
- If you can, get premium disembarking packages. You get two tickets that let’s you disembark before everyone else. This saves you so much time! My tour guide told us her coworker was still waiting for their customers to disembark 1 hour later.
- Book a private tour guide to take us around Santorini. It will save you a lot of time.
- Walk in the REVERSE of all of the ship tours in the mornings and you'll skip all of the crowds.
- It cost 6 euros a person for a one way ticket for the Santorini cable car. Remember to bring some cash as it is cash only. For the best view sit on the right side of the gondola. You'll be facing the ocean instead of a hill.
- AVOID walking on the donkey trail. It's slippery and you can easily fall or get kicked by the donkeys. I also wouldn't ride the donkeys as it's expensive and they look miserable.
- I recommend this tour company:
The good thing is because we booked tours from 3 different cities we got a 10% discount.
Top Things to Do and See in Santorini:
- Oia -
Oia is famous for viewing the sunset. I heard it was beautiful because different colors from the sunset bounce off the white buildings. It must be a romantic place to be.
Oia is such a beautiful place to visit. There’s all these little narrow paths everywhere because it helps reduces the wind and also to protect them from pirate attacks. This way they cannot attack with a huge army but instead are forced to enter one by one because the streets are so narrow.
- Black Sand Kamari Beach -
Santorini is unique because it’s one of the few places where you can visit white, black, and red beaches all on one island. Bring towels or a bathing suit as it's a nice, pretty place to relax and enjoy the ocean.
- Pyrgos -
Pyrgos is a typical example of medieval architecture with narrow, twisty streets, fortified walls and hidden passages. If you want peace and quiet away from all the tourists then this town is a must visit. It was mostly just to see the buildings in a much quieter setting compared to Oia.
- Venesantos Winery -
Because it's so windy on Santorini, the farmers and vineyards grow crops in a unique way…for example, the wine grapes are grown on the ground in bunches rather than on vines.
The wine grapes on Santorini are grown with no irrigation! The vines get all their necessary water from “sea fog” which is a mix of humid ocean air and moisture from the active volcano. I loved their wine so much we bought two bottles.
I wish I could buy more but we didn't have any more room left in our suitcases. But they ship their wines to these places - maybe one day in the future I will find their wines there.

Santorini Day Trip - Caldera Cruise | Santorini, Greece
We went on a day trip around Santorini in style - on a beautiful sail around the islands! We cruised to the caldera, where we learned about how Santorini was created from the remnants of a violent volcanic eruption many years ago. We hiked up to a top of a caldera, swam in hot springs (spoiler: they were neither hot nor were they springs), watched one of the best sunsets we've ever seen, and had delicious food with our friends Minos and Suzy. This was our favourite thing to do in Santorini. We were hesitant at first, because it seems really touristy, but this was WORTH IT for €80 per person.

Honeymoon in a Cheap LUXURY Suite in OIA, SANTORINI | Greece TRAVEL VLOG
Booking code:
Hello sunshines!
I am very excited to share with you our experience in one of the best luxury suites in Oia, Santorini Greece.
Watch my whole vlog and my upcoming vlog next week to learn great tips on how to travel cheap in Santorini.
* WHEN TO VISIT SANTORINI? *
1. Good weather + cheap hotels + less tourists: Late May - early June, late October - early November.
2. The most crowded months: June - September from 75% - 100% crowded.
* WHY VISIT SANTORINI IN LOW SEASON? *
1. Cheaper accommodations (5 star hotels decrease their prices). Most small hostels will close for the low season.
2. Less tourists which means you will enjoy the whole place to yourselves specially during the sunrises & sunsets. In addition, everything will have a calmer & more peaceful atmosphere.
3. Perfect weather. Not too hot nor too cold. The temperature when we were in Santorini ranged from 18-25 degrees celcius.
4. Most streets of Santorini are narrow. Imagine walking under the scorching heat and with hundred other sweaty people. LOL!
5. More local vibe.
But of course if there are pros, there are also cons when visiting Santorini during the low season.
1. Most food shops & souvenir stores are closed. It will be harder for you to look for food places (specially between December - March).
2. For some people, a quiet place might seem a little lonely or boring.
For Chano and I, we like to save money and enjoy the place so we prefer to visit during the low season. I made this vlog to help other people who want to travel like us. In this trip, we spent more than our usual budget for an accommodation (200 euros) in one of the best suites! It is already considered cheap compared to their high season price. KALEIDOSCOPE LUXURY CAVE HOUSES exceeded our expectations. If we are given a chance to visit Santorini, we will not think twice to stay in their place again. SUPER HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
In order to not spend too much money on accommodations, we chose cheaper ones for the rest of our trips but still astounding. Watch out for my next vlogs to give you more tips on how we explored other cities of Santorini on our own. We hate group tours unless we don't have a choice anymore. They are expensive, they give you less time to enjoy the places, and everything is rush. We will share our 11-day DIY trip in Greece.

Santorini Volcano Hot Springs in Greece - PRIVATE TOUR - MUST WATCH!
A Trip to Santorini's Hot Springs In Greece - PRIVATE TOUR
The waters of the Aegean Sea are amazingly clear and blue.
We sail towards the volcano, enjoying Santorini’s gorgeous coastline.
The boat passes between the 2 isles of Palea Kameni and Nea Kameni.
The Hot Springs gush near the coast of these 2 isles. The color of the water becomes greener and its temperature warmer, averaging 98 degrees Farenheit
Vagelis, our captain, sets anchor, and takes us in a small inflatable boat to one of the bays, for a swim in the sulfurous springs of the volcano.
The rocks around are red and copper – yellow.
The hot springs have beneficial effects against rheumatisms, arthritis and other diseases
Our lovely greek companions Laura and Thodoris teach us how to remove the mud from the bottom of the sea with our feet, and to cover our bodies with it.
The sulfurous mud is dark green and it gets yellow as it dries.
When we planned the visit to the Hot Springs, we didn’t know about the mud, we were expecting only the warm waters. So it was an unexpected and funny spa experience.
Here goes a hint: It was easy to apply the mud, but is was not so easy to take it out.
We had to rub ourselves a lot.
After our spa treatment, we clean up and go back to the boat for another round of swimming.
The water is a little colder than the hot springs, but still warm enough for us to swim and play
We were like children, jumping multiple times into the water.
Jumping in the Mediterranean Sea was a dream come true experience: we could not come to Greece and not jump into these famous waters.
We didn’t want to leave the water, but it was time to go back onboard to head to our next stop.
In the way back we stop for the Grand Finale, Santorini’s spectacular Sunset
Next evening, our greek friends invite us to have a delicious lobster spaghetti in the world renown Amoudi Bay. That’s the famous greek Hospitality!

SANTORINI SUNSET BOAT TOUR IN GREECE - SPECTACULAR - MUST WATCH!
SANTORINI SUNSET BOAT TOUR IN GREECE
SANTORINI BOAT TOUR
We decided to take a boat tour in Santorini with transportation and barbecue included. We chose the afternoon tour to be able to enjoy the sunset at sea.
The tour starts at Akrotiri Beach
The blue color of the sea is breathtaking.
Now we are passing the famous Red Beach and the White Beach
Vagelis, the captain, brings me a beer and explains that my name in Greek means putting beer in the glass. We all laugh a lot!
At the top of the cliff we spot a lighthouse.
The white buildings topping the coastline are typical of Santorini.
Now we head towards the volcanic islands of Palea Kameni and Nea Kameni.
Due to the proximity of the volcano, the waters become green and warmer.
We stopped for a swim to enjoy the mild temperature of the sea and have some melons.
As it is already dinner time, we head towards a small deserted beach, where Vagelis’assistant awaits us with wine, salad, fruits and fish barbecue.
We set anchor and take the small inflatable boat to reach the beach.
Santorini has many spots to watch the sunset, all crowded with tourists. On the boat, we could enjoy it peacefully, just by ourselves.
