thank you for sharing this video
Thank you ❤️👍
i m planing to come to greece in december
My 40th bday is in april so I was thinking about doing a solo trip but I'm still unsure yet.. I would definitely love to do the flying dress photo shoot aswell..
Hi, Sebastian! Your chanel is great!
Is end October still a good time to go Santorini, or is already that cold and rainy?
Its a good time to come ;-)
Hi Sebi - How about mid May this year. What kind of must clothes should one carry ? Can you please suggest.
Hi Sebastian. Nice videos you make. Santorini the more affordable way.
A question. Could you also pay attention to the journey, from Italy to the island of Santorini? Preferably by boat from Italy and the train from Patras. Or when it's all done. I'll see when it comes. Greetings from the Netherlands. Marco
Hey Marco !
The easiest way to reach Santorini from Italy is by plane. There are direct flights from Naples, Bologna, Milano, and maybe even other airports.
Otherwise, yes its the boat to Patras, then train / bus to Athens, then ferry to Santorini.
Hope this helps !
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hi! Thank you for the great information. Can you tell me if shops and restaurants are still open mid to end of October in places like Santorini, Rhodes, and Mykonos?
50-75% open
Hi Sebi! Thanks for creating this useful video! Do you think mid December is a good time to visit Santorini? Saw your below comments saying 90% of shops will be closed, doest that mean nothing much to do? Thanks!
Correct :-)
Thank you for the amazing and insightful video. I am intending to travel from 25 November to 10 December 2022. Is this a good time to explore Santorini, Greece? Is it good for the beach and swimming? Are all restaurants and shops open then as well?
Hi ! It'll be a little chilly to spend a day on the beach, and the water will be pretty cold. 90% of restaurants, shops and hotel will be closed.
Thanks so much for the information coming to Santorini 20th may and definitely looking forward a tour with, following you on Instagram already
Thanks for this video! We’re planning first or second week of October this year :) Is it good for the beach and swimming? Are all restaurants and shops open then as well?
If you come during the FIRST half of October, everything will still be open yes. And yes the water will still be nice.
@@GreeceExplained thank you :)
Hello thank you so much for the video very helpful. I am planning to come the end of oct-first week of November. Will there still be night life/bars and restaurants open. And will the beaches be warm and in use?
Hey ! Night life, no. All the rest, pretty much yes !
I’m going for the views in January but everyone is saying it’s raining and cold but I’m use to that I live in Antartica lol.
Pour ma part mes sorties trail se sont effectués entre 7h et 9h un seul retour en rando un après midi 1L1/2 d'eau absorbé
Greetings!! Seb
Intend to come in mid Nov, is it still possible to travel to Santorini by ferry?
Thanks
Yes it is !
Hii planning to visit Greece on Dec 1st or Nov last ….. is it good
Would love to come October, wondering if it’s warm enough since I’m from South Africa (Early October)
20 degrees by day, 15 by night.
This is very helpful. How is November 1st week for the visit? Can we swim in 1st week November?
On a sunny day, yes :-)
Hi Sebastian, we plan to visit Santorini 1 day exploring Fira & Oia in December. How long is the day like in December ?
Sunrise : 7:30
Sunset : 17:00
Planning to visit the second week of November. How is the weather? Is there any shops/restaurants still open? Is it worth it for that time or better to come the next following year? Thanks!
Many restaurants have closed already. Same for tours and attractions. If you dont care about those 2 things, you can come, yes. And hotels are actually very cheap right now, so that's a big plus. Otherwise, I'd recommend the second half of April. Prices still low, but everything's open.
Hello Sevastian, how about middle of Novemeber? Most of hotel airbnb closed?
Correct ! Same for restaurants and shops.
Hey we are coming to Greece in October .. will the restaurant and activities open in this time ??
Yes they will
Hi Seb, is the 3rd week onwards of September a good time to travel to Santorini? Anyways, thanks for all your good advise and tips!👍
Yes it is !

Sebastian please guide me whether its advisable to visit Athens and Santorini from 10 Feb to 20 Feb. I’m planning for these dates
Yes it is

Hi Sebi how’s the weather in mid Oct? We need light jacket and long pants? Coming from south east Asia 😅
Summer clothes during the day, autumn clothes for the evenings ;-)
@@GreeceExplained thank u so kind
Planning to visit during Christmas and New Year... Do you recommend it?... Will be able to see all the attractions around with less crowd... What about shops and hotels?
Nearly all attractions, tourist shops, and restaurants will be closed. Some hotels will still be open though so you will find a room.
Hi, I will be in Santorini the second week of September, do I need to buy ferry ticket ahead of time? Can I buy at the ticket office a day before the trip?
Thanks.
Second week of September is pretty much peak season still, so yes i would book the ferry ticket ahead of time just to be safe.
Hi Seb, planning a trip in January end or February beginning… is it a good time for trip ?

Thank you for the useful info, we are going next week for 2 weeks, how is Santorini in middle of April? Thank you :)
April is awesome, nice and quiet, but not dead either, unlike March. Don't expect summer weather though, its gonna be around 16-18C. And the sea is still very cold, so unless you're from Alaska, you won't have a great time if you go in the water :-D Enjoy !!
@@GreeceExplained thank you 😊
In middle April is the Greek Easter. Maybe you could see some special things and celebrations. Have in mind things like banks and public services, museums and archeological sites are closed for 3 to 4 days because of that.
hello, how are you? i would like to ask about going in the first week of April 2023? my son have one week of for easter week! are restaurants shop open? i don’t mind that’s it’s alittle chilly, but hoping stores are open ?
Hi Sebi, me and my fiance planning to visit Santorini in Feb, do you think is it best idea. We are not sure if shops and restaurants gonna be closed or not?

Hey! I’m planning to visit Mykonos & Santorini in March end 2023, would that be a good time to visit? Are the restaurants/ hotels open?
Hoping for your response, would be of great help!
Thanks.
The majority of places open early April. So if I were you I'd come at that time instead of March !

95% of the island will be closed. There's not much to do.
The last week of october is good time to go? Half term to kids in UK.
Yes great time !
We plan on visiting in the end of October. Will there be restaurants open ? And what is the weather like ?
Yes everything will still be open. Around 20 degrees, mainly sunny.
@@GreeceExplained thank you
Hi Sebastian, is March a good time to visit Santorini?
April would be much better. March is still very much closed.
Hi, is it ok to come in mid December…howz the weather at that time?
Windy but sunny. 10-15 degrees. Nearly all shops / attractions will be closed.
Hi! We r planning to visit greece in 1st week of december. Is it worth it? M I applying in the right month?
Everything will be closed, but you'll still be able to visit the villages. But no tours and nearly no shops to visit.
Recommend any hotels in the heart of Oia ?
I'll make a video on that later this year, but I havent started studying the market yet, so cant help you for now :-)
Hey dear sebi!!
I am visiting Greece from 4th to 13th Nov.. But I cannot see any inter island hopping ferry transportation on those days.. Are they closed by then?? Do let me know!!
Please do reply dear!!
There are no speed ferries in the winter but the slow ferries are still running (blue star ferries, minoan lines etc) on a daily basis. But dont be surprised if you dont find anything to book online, the official timetables for the winter havent been published yet. Try again later ;-)
We are going to visit between 20th oct and 2nd nov, what kind of clothes we should carry- warm clothes completely?
Yes, warm clothes.
Hi sebi! Thanks for the quick and concise video! I was planning on visiting santorini from 10/12- 10/22, Will this be a good time to swim in the ocean? Or will it be too cold? Around what time is the sunset? Will shops and tourist attractions be open around this time in October? Thank you! This would be my first time visiting
Yes its still okay for swimming. Yes shops & attractions will be open. Sunset around 6:30.
Coming to fira for 35 wedding anniversary Nov 5th thru 12th. Good time?
@@Mondo6268 Yes, good time !
@@GreeceExplained should I convert to Euros or just use my credit card? How much cash would you recommend we bring for 5 days?

How is December please? Thank you ❤
th-cam.com/video/EhVQBOJLeyk/w-d-xo.html
What is your take on flying dress photography business? Is it something you would recommend to visitors who want proper photoshoots?
They're pricey but the result is amazing :-)
Hi Sebastian, thank you for this video. We have planned to visit santorini in April Easter break 2023, which is 7 to 10 April. Any idea about the shops, restaurants availability around that time? I know it's going to be colder, so we are prepared. I'm just not sure about shops. Thanks in advance

Both :-)
Good morning I’m travelling the end of May 24-June 2 will the weather be good for swimming?
@@jenntaylor5168 Yup !
As a Brazilian who go to places during holidays when beaches are packed, I think it’s ok to go in August. But can i save money by eating cheap ?
Ola Lucas ! Yes, even in August it's possible to travel on a budget, you can find all my tips in this video : th-cam.com/video/Ylcyxa7jSMY/w-d-xo.html
Hope it helps ! :-)
Is it good time to visit in March? We are not looking for exciting night life and water sports. But just wanted to know if temperature is too cold?
3-4 days of rain total to be expected in March. You'll wanna wear a sweater but no jacket.
Also going in March. Will most stores be closed and how heavy is the rain?
How warm is greece in April?.
15-20C
Hi, Is it worth going to Santorini in late December for honeymoon? Or is it absolutely not worth it?
I explain everything over here : th-cam.com/video/EhVQBOJLeyk/w-d-xo.html
Hello..I am planning my trip to Santorini in the last week of October. Is it the right time to visit? I've heard it's too rainy
Late October can have a few drops of rain here and there, but I would definitely not call it "too rainy"
@@GreeceExplained planning my honeymoon last week of October in Greece, good time to come? will the places be open? or you suggest we skip it? also which places do you suggest if I have 10 days in greece
@@malvikabehal Yes everything will still be open until the end of October, even mid of November for some shops and attractions.
How warm is Greece in April?.
15-20C
we are thinking of going to Athens in Oct, and Maybe santorini, but someone said most shops are shut down there. So my question is What part of Santorini would be good to stay in, that has restruants and clubs or bars that are open later that isnt to far away?
Hi ! I answer all of that in this vid : th-cam.com/video/EhVQBOJLeyk/w-d-xo.html
@@GreeceExplained thank you
Can I visit se Torino in January end..?
Hii can i travel with 1 yr old baby.
How is the weather in end of October?
20 degrees mainly sunny but 1 or 2 rainy days are possible
When is the Autumn or fall or winter weather in Santorini ??
From November to March its pretty much the same weather. 10-15°, sunny and windy.
@@GreeceExplained hws the October month in Santorini?
What about February? ☺️
th-cam.com/video/EhVQBOJLeyk/w-d-xo.html
I will travelling in March 2024 ( 18th to 24th ) .. will it be worth?? The shops and all would be open or not
Fira and Oia will be relatively open. The rest of the island pretty dead, especially the coastal towns (Perissa, Kamari ...) But all in all, a great time to go in my opinion. Much quieter and cheaper.
@@GreeceExplained thank you so much.. we will staying in imerovigli !! I have bein following you from so long .. was diein one day to ask this when I come !! It’s my dream come true
Is early may crowded? Im going with friends for 4 days and we have no clue as what to actually do lol
May is the "transition month", the first half of it is still reasonably quiet but then from May 15th, every day gets more crowded. So I'd pick early May if I were you !
@@GreeceExplained we actually leave april 30th i allready shared your ig to them so we will be definetly booking a tour!!!
Awesome !! See you soon ! :-)
Hows is it going in October ? Can we swim?
Yes you can swim, but October can have some rainy / cold days, so if swimming is important to you, try to come in September instead.
Hi, is it a bad idea to visit Santorini in December?
Everything will closed. So if you only care about visiting the villages and you're okay with doing no tours and no shopping, then yes December is fine.
@@GreeceExplained ok thanks? No tours means? Is there any other attraction than visiting villages and shopping? Not interested in swimming. And what about ferry service in December? Is it convenient to travel. Between turkey and Greece? Thanks
@@nuzrath7693 No tours means no attractions other than sightseeing and shopping. For ferries, go to www.ferryhopper.com to see what's available during the winter.
@@GreeceExplained thank you so much
*So it’s going to be cold in April when I go next month ? Wow smh
Cold in the early mornings / late evenings. By day, more like tshirt weather
@@GreeceExplained Oh, ok. I can live with that lol
