      Hey again ! The best photo spots are in Oia, you can find them all here : th-cam.com/video/nWoZJjqbdHQ/w-d-xo.html
      Imerovigli is also a great place to take pictures.

    Sebastian, all of your videos are gold! I'm travelling to Santorini in late May (25th to 28th), and I've already checked that there are going to be around 4 to 5 cruises arriving at 8am each day. Do you think I can beat the crowds if I get at Oia around 9am?

    • @GreeceExplained
      @GreeceExplained  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I would try to make it by 8:30. You can expect that by 9:30 it will start getting very crowded.

  • @RRaymer
    @RRaymer 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thanks for these videos! I suppose sunrise at Oia looks beautiful aswell. Is 6 in the morning too early to take pictures here without crowds?

    • @GreeceExplained
      @GreeceExplained  2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      6 in the morning is the PERFECT TIME to be in Oia ! Go to the castle, you'll have a 360 view and you will be all alone !!

    May I know the sunset cruise in Santorini including the volcano hike is a must, I’m going next week wondering weather very hot it’s suitable to hike, need your opinion then I will know what to choose

    • @GreeceExplained
      @GreeceExplained  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I would not recommend the volcano hike under extreme heat, no.

    Hi Sebastian, i will visit santorini on august 1-3 and i see that the sunset in that days is around 7 pm so what do you think going to oia at 6 pm , if you say that people from the cruises have to go back around 4-5pm ?

    • @GreeceExplained
      @GreeceExplained  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Check the specific timings of the cruise ships on the days you're there. Some cruise leave mid afternoon, some in the evening. And that will have a big impact on the crowds in Oia for sunset.

    Curious if taking a boat would be better sunday or monday for sightseeing. Is there a big difference on which days i should book?

  • @user-km1it1nu2n
    @user-km1it1nu2n ปีที่แล้ว

    Our tenders start at 6:30am. We are thinking about getting right on the trail to Oia. Will we get a sunrise view?

    • @GreeceExplained
      @GreeceExplained  ปีที่แล้ว

      Depends which month you're coming. The sun currently rises at 6am.

      October at sunset, still very crowded. During the day, much better. November will be much less crowded for sure.

    I will avoid Santorini for sure. What a money grab. Garbage everywhere and roads like in a 3rd world country. Where do all the money go? Fira and Oia are interesting but as a whole the island is very underdeveloped.
