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.

Ferry from Athens to Santorini travel vlog
Join us for a ferry ride from Athens to Santorini in this travel vlog from Greece. Our day started off with a quick apartment tour of our airbnb in Athens before we had to rush out the door in the wee hours of the morning when it was still dark outside:

Discount Code:
After catching two metros (we had to transfer) we arrived at the ferry terminal where we boarded a Blue Star Ferry headed for Santorini. The journey itself was incredible as we passed by many of the most famous Greek Islands along the way to Santorini. We had comfortable places to sit, lounge and sleep and the best views were from the various deck areas of the ferry. We ended up grabbing a hot lunch which was mediocre at best and upon checking into our place in Santorini we went out for a some delicious Greek food that was recommended by our new host.

Sinking Cruise Ship - April 5, 2007 - Santorini Greece
To all the meanies who commented on my last video about the poor camera work, I am sorry. But I tried to get this uploaded asap so you could see it almost immediately. This one has some more footage and I tried to cut out the shaking or slow down the speed to reduce the shaking. Ok, I suck, I know and I zoom too much, I know that too -- just chill out. Next time a boat sinks I will take more care to be still.
I added music again so that the video doesnt seem too boring because it is a little long. This song is by a girl named Ralia (Greek Singer) and the some is Called (Ego gia Sena). I dont know who did the song on the other video I posted. I ended up getting copyright notice for the Ralia Song and hastily added this music with the youtube editor which did not give me the editing options I needed. Trust me, the Ralia song version was quite dramatic and if they wernt knobs, they probably would have made more money off my vid since more people have seen this than her video, hehe.
The ship started to list in fira after hitting some volcanic reef in the old port. Then they dragged it here to my work (celestia grand ) so that they could wash it up by the beach, but that didnt work (maybe on purpose) and it sank around 7 am

====================
Santorini is an island in the southern Aegean Sea, about 200 km (120 mi) southeast of Greece's mainland. It is the largest island of a small, circular archipelago which bears the same name and is the remnant of a volcanic caldera. It forms the southernmost member of the Cyclades group of islands, with an area of approximately 73 km2 (28 sq mi) and a 2011 census population of 15,550. The municipality of Santorini comprises the inhabited islands of Santorini and Therasia and the uninhabited islands of Nea Kameni, Palaia Kameni, Aspronisi, and Christiana. The total land area is 90.623 km2 (34.990 sq mi). Santorini is part of the Thira regional unit.
Santorini is essentially what remains after an enormous volcanic explosion that destroyed the earliest settlements on a formerly single island, and created the current geological caldera. A giant central, rectangular lagoon, which measures about 12 by 7 km (7.5 by 4.3 mi), is surrounded by 300 m (980 ft) high, steep cliffs on three sides. The main island slopes downward to the Aegean Sea. On the fourth side, the lagoon is separated from the sea by another much smaller island called Therasia; the lagoon is connected to the sea in two places, in the northwest and southwest. The depth of the caldera, at 400m, makes it possible for all but the largest ships to anchor anywhere in the protected bay; there is also a newly built marina at Vlychada, on the southwestern coast. The island's principal port is Athinias. The capital, Fira, clings to the top of the cliff looking down on the lagoon. The volcanic rocks present from the prior eruptions feature olivine and have a small presence of hornblende.
It is the most active volcanic centre in the South Aegean Volcanic Arc, though what remains today is chiefly a water-filled caldera. The volcanic arc is approximately 500 km (310 mi) long and 20 to 40 km (12 to 25 mi) wide. The region first became volcanically active around 3--4 million years ago, though volcanism on Thera began around 2 million years ago with the extrusion of dacitic lavas from vents around the Akrotiri.
The island is the site of one of the largest volcanic eruptions in recorded history: the Minoan eruption (sometimes called the Thera eruption), which occurred some 3600 years ago at the height of the Minoan civilization. The eruption left a large caldera surrounded by volcanic ash deposits hundreds of metres deep and may have led indirectly to the collapse of the Minoan civilization on the island of Crete, 110 km (68 mi) to the south, through a gigantic tsunami. Another popular theory holds that the Thera eruption is the source of the legend of Atlantis.

Santorini & Hidden Santorini Island
The Greek Island of Santorini and some of the hidden gems that can be found if you go off the tourist trail. This was our 7th holiday to Santorini and we still can't wait to get back and explore some more. We get around the Island on an Aprillia Atlantic 300 scooter from Motor Inn based in Kamari...always fantastic service and prices...we think it's the best way to see and get around the Island.
Whist we were crusing the Caldera on Dream Catcher and approaching their private beach a lady from the US said There's nowhere in the world I'd rather be right now. Says it all really!!
Thank you for watching.

Thirasia island exploration - Santorini Travel Advisor
Today we visit the little island next to Oia called Thirasia. A few thousand years ago it was part of Santorini. The volcanic eruption made sure that now its not. However Thirasia is considered a part of Santorini even if it is not connected to it anymore. Thirasia has three main living areas ... The port , Manolas which is the village on top of the little bay and the Bay Area where all the taverns are and all tourists go in the summer. It is a pity to see such a beautiful place come down as it has and I am talking about Manolas... more people should go up there and visit the islands Chora ...

Santorin | La plage de Perivolos
L'une des plages les plus grandes et des mieux équipées de Santorin est la plage de Perivolos, un long banc de sable volcanique noir qui dispose d'une gamme complète d'équipements pour ceux qui desirent un certain confort.
Perivolos se trouve sur l' angle sud-est de l'île, très proche d'autres plages populaires tels que Perissa et Aghios Georgios. Elle est accessible par un service régulier de bus en partance de Fira, la ville principale de Santorin. Le voyage prendra une vingtaine de minutes. Sinon, vous pouvez louer un vélo ou un 4 roues et garder votre independance.
Perivolos plage est une des plus grandes de l'archipel des Cyclades, ce qui explique sa popularité. Comme vous le verrez sur les autres plages de Santorin, le sable sombre ne colle pas à la peau humide. Mais il est plus chaud que le sable ordinaire.
Quelques bons hôtels donnent sur cette partie spectaculaire de la côte, et les bars et restaurants de plage servent de tout, de l'expresso au sushi.

* Location of some blue dome areas we featured in the video. If you are coming from the Oia bus terminal: You will walk up a path taking you towards the sea side. You will enter into a square. Take a right. Not too far after this you hit Alexandros. There’s a left. Go down and after a few twists and turns you’ll end up there. If you hit Melevio on your left you’ve gone too far. If Melevio is on your right it’s just after Alexandros on your right.
There’s a different view but not as good further along, going towards to castle. You’ll see White Donkey on your right and Minerali on your left. Take the path on the left here.

Santorini's bay, Santorini, Cyclades, South Aegean, Greece, Europe
Santorini, is an island in the southern Aegean Sea, about 200 km (120 mi) southeast of Greece's mainland. It is the largest island of a small, circular archipelago which bears the same name and is the remnant of a volcanic caldera. It forms the southernmost member of the Cyclades group of islands, with an area of approximately 73 km2 (28 sq mi) and a 2011 census population of 15,550. The municipality of Santorini comprises the inhabited islands of Santorini and Therasia and the uninhabited islands of Nea Kameni, Palaia Kameni, Aspronisi, and Christiana. The total land area is 90.623 km2 (34.990 sq mi). Santorini is part of the Thira regional unit. Santorini is essentially what remains after an enormous volcanic eruption that destroyed the earliest settlements on a formerly single island, and created the current geological caldera.
