All about Santorini
When to Visit
The best time to visit Santorini is from late April to early November, with peak tourist season during the summer months of June to August. For warm weather, vibrant nightlife, and bustling streets, summer is ideal. However, visiting in the shoulder seasons of April-May and September-October offers pleasant temperatures, fewer crowds, and lower prices. Winter (November to March) is quieter, with some businesses closed, but it’s perfect for a peaceful getaway and discounted rates.
Getting Around
Santorini’s public buses connect major villages like Fira, Oia, and Perissa and are an affordable way to travel. Renting a car, ATV, or scooter offers flexibility for exploring less-visited areas and remote beaches. Taxis are available but limited, so pre-booking is recommended. Walking is a great option for short distances, especially between villages with caldera views. Ferries and boats are the best way to visit nearby islands or explore the caldera.
Traveler Tips
Pack light, breathable clothing and sturdy shoes for navigating cobblestone streets and steep paths. Book accommodations and sunset tours well in advance during peak season to secure the best options. Enjoy traditional Greek dishes like moussaka, fava, and fresh seafood at local tavernas. Visit the famous Blue Domes in Oia early in the morning to avoid crowds. Use reef-safe sunscreen when swimming at unique beaches like Red Beach or Kamari Beach. Try the island’s local wines, such as Assyrtiko, and visit a winery for a tasting experience. Lastly, respect local customs and take your time to soak in the island’s beauty.
