Come with us to Santorini! A quick 30 minute flight from Athens.To us, off season was just as good or even better than summer. If you don’t like the crowds, then off season is for you as well. Even though lots of places were closed, we didn’t feel like we missed anything other than some of the fancy restaurants and hotels. All in good sacrifice since we didn’t have to wait anywhere and lines were little to none. Check out where we ate and where you should NOT EAT!
1. We stayed in Fira. We are glad we stayed in Fira due to the ease of the bus from the airport, which took about 30 minutes. If you are staying in Oia, it is an extra 45 minutes to an hour on the bus, unless you take a pricey taxi. Fira also is the main town of Santorini so naturally more businesses and hotels are open, and not so much of a ghost town like the others. Fira is definitely the typical place that you think of when you think Santorini, with the majority of houses being whitewashed and blue. Although Oia has a wonderful view of the sun set. It seemed to us equally as beautiful from Fira if not more
2. The bus is €1.60pp and a first class coach, we were very comfortable. Keep in mind it is cash only. The main routes on the bus go from the airport to Fira, Fira to Oia, then back to Fira and the airport. There are stops along the way in case you walk to Imerovigli for example, just look out for the bus signs and take a picture of the route and the time tables at the main bus station in Fira.
3. Off season is great, but it comes with the majority of things being closed. We ended up with a great hotel despite there only being a small handful selection. Most of the places that you would expect on the cliffs with pools close to do renovations, maintenance from Nov-March. Most pools are drained during this time but we got lucky that our pool was still open (even though we did not use it). We also didn’t have many options with restaurants, but to this day some of the best meals I had in Greece were the few restaurants we went to in Santorini so we were in no way disappointed.
4. Oia is the 2nd main town of Santorini. It is definitely more touristy and during off season not as much is open. Personally, I think Oia was the most beautiful out of all the towns because of all the colors. The bus ride from Fira to Oia was so easy and only about 25 minutes, we ended up going to Oia every day
5. Be careful of restaurants taking advantage of tourists! Although we loved most of the meals we had in Santorini, we had one that took advantage of us, and out of all meals it was breakfast. We had to stop in this restaurant because it started pouring rain and thought it was okay to order an omelette and a coffee. How much could it be? The owner ended up bringing us 2 omelettes although we ordered one and some pita, which again, how much can pita cost! When he brought the check we were astounded to see the total come out to €77. He also on the spot told us his credit card machine was not working so we had to pay cash. Be aware! Later did we realize the place had 1 whole star on Google Reviews
6. Rent an ATV if you want to go to the beaches! For a whole day we paid $20 which was a great deal. To rent a scooter you have to have a motorcycle license, but a normal drivers license for an ATV. The bus goes to all the beaches, but waiting an hour or potentially missing the bus is a hassle, besides, ATVs are more fun. There were definitely parts of Santorini we probably would have not seen if we did not rent it!

🇹🇷Come with us as we spend 24 hours in Istanbul!🇹🇷 What we did after leaving our flight! 🔻🔻🔻Click Here For More Videos & Recommendations! 🔻🔻🔻 www.youtube.com/@Sweetlifeofliv?sub_confirmation=1 Welcome to Istanbul! A city consisting of 20 million people and 3267 mosques. It is also the only transcontinental city in the world. One side of the city you are in Europe, but if you cross the Bosporus ...
Hi, What's the name of the hotel you stayed in? Did you book it in advance ? Thanks.
This video was absolutely perfect! My daughter wants to go to Santorini for her sweet 16 which is in November! We Are from New York and would be going the week of Thanksgiving (next year) Your video made me realize that a trip would be feasible, and there will be lots of photo opportunities for her, especially since there's no crowds.
This would have to be one of the best videos I’ve seen of Santorini so far. It’s a pity it didn’t show you going swimming. The prices of accommodation and food so cheap!
Love this video!!! This is great, the prices were super helpful
Curious as to what month you went?

Glad you had a great time, what was the name of the restaurant that scammed you?

There is new metro line between Istanbul Airport and City Center.
Thanks, we will have to check it out next trip! We are planning on going back soon.
I was raised there in Istanbul till age 24 after that USA Newyork now I’m 58. Great video brought back memories thank you❤❤❤
Thank you so much, such a sweet comment!
We are Going on the 18th I believe it will be Ramadan is there anything we have to be aware of during this time
The country is predominantly Muslim, so that may impact restaurants but I would look into it! Google maps isn't always correct on hours so definitely call ahead of time.
In Türkiye is at Ramadan time no Problem , everywhere is open and you can eat & drink how you want and Cultural places are also opened.
super ❤
Thank you! Cheers!
I'm sorry, but coming to Turkey and drinking only cola is such a lack of vision.
👍👍👍
Motivation to go to Istanbul. Love this! 🙌🏼
You should! Beautiful city
Beautiful ❤
Thank you! 😊
6:22 you cant see this view anywhere else
10/10 recommend this hotel for the view! Million old city apartment in Sultan Ahmet
Olivia, it is so rude not to answer questions, change your awful attitude,
I had a mouth full of ice cream, it happens to also be rude to talk with your mouth full!
@@Sweetlifeofliv Haha I was being sarcastic, sorry if it felt like veiled criticism.
😮👍
