Santorini Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)

Santorini trip

RMB1W is enough for you to enjoy the Greek mythology Santorini I believe the Aegean Santorini in Greek mythology is a travel goal that everyone wants to go to. Airfare and accommodation: My airfare is round trip from Ireland for €370 As for the hotel, I chose the oia area, I stayed at the elea resort, it takes about 15 minutes to walk from the hotel to oia village, it is located in a relatively remote area at the foot of the mountain, I am a person who can walk 😆 unless you rent a car or electric bike will be more convenient, stay for one night €208 The reason for choosing to stay in Ia is that the famous windmills, blue churches, beautiful scenery, and the most romantic sunsets are all in oia As for Santorini's capital is called fira✌️ There are also many cheap resorts or b&b €20 to €80, there is no need to stay in such an expensive hotel (it is recommended to get up early to run in the mountains of oia😂 The second reason is that there are not so many people in the morning) Transportation: I arrived at the Santorini airport at 8 o'clock in the morning and there was already a bus🚌 to pick up tourists to the city (fira), the journey is about 15-20 minutes, there is a bus every half an hour, the bus is €1.80 Black sand beach perissa. Red sand beach red beach and white sand beach, all have buses to reach the destination, the highest consumption is only €2.40 Transportation is actually quite convenient. Except for these two areas, transportation in other areas is relatively inconvenient, so when booking a hotel, you really have to choose well, don't be fooled by beautiful photos to go to remote places with inconvenient transportation😆 If you want to know more about the accurate time of the bus, you can refer to it. Activity: Don't ask me or doubt who I am going with, I really am☝️ A person came to this place that is completely for couples & super romantic. As for living in oia, I want to go to fira town, and finally I still take the bus from oia to fira €1.80 It's about a 20-minute drive When I arrived in fira, it was actually quite good, although it was similar to oia🙊 It was a lot of castle feeling, and I accidentally went to the donkey station I wanted to go to the most! The donkey is also a symbol of the local culture and customs of the island. Riding a donkey down for €5, it takes you down more than a hundred steps to the bottom port⚓️Let tourists take a boat to see the scenery, and then the donkey round trip is €10, poor donkey🐎 In the end, I still advise that if there is nothing wrong, don't come to the Aegean Sea by a girl🙈 It's really a bit dangerous, it is recommended to come with friends or partners! If a girl really wants to go, just ignore the men who are picking up on the road, after all, Greece is a bankrupt country, it is still a bit dangerous👌 It is recommended to follow the day tour, a day's day tour charges €43 will introduce local culture, take you to the black sand beach, the highest peak of the island, let you taste the three most famous red wines and white wines of the island. Food: In fact, the cost of food is not cheap or expensive, and that gyros wrap is also very good.

Celebrating Chinese New Year in Greece

The best gift is companionship, this is the second travel note with parents. This time the scale is larger, not only with my own parents, but also with my girlfriend (nickname Little Aunt, my old travel partner) and her parents. The whole trip cost less than CNY13000 per person, this time I can finally keep accounts myself. Actually, when booking the tickets, I never thought that winter in Greece is a rainy season. I was absent-minded, thinking isn't this the southern part of Europe? After booking, I found out it's a rainy season, but since we're here, we might as well enjoy it. There are ways to enjoy the off-season. In the end, I was under the halo of the little sun, feeling the sunshine of Santorini and Athens. This article recommends excellent shooting points in Santorini and detailed locations, as well as Greek bloody myths and interspersed Athens attractions. I'll write slowly, you read slowly. Thanks to mom and dad, they cooperated all the way, worthy of always following me on free trips. Thanks to Little Aunt, after all, she is an old partner, a super good travel partner. Thanks to Dad Lu, following the old master, I learned a little more about photography. Thanks to Mom Lu, the main chef, the mashed potatoes are top-notch. Santorini's winter also has sunny days Santorini's sunset and sunrise Ia is beautiful no matter how you shoot it National Geographic magazine's shooting location Six people walking Mom and dad watching the sea at Perissa Beach, the same action as last time in Taiwan Wine tasting at the Santorini winery And the real people on the island, the ubiquitous Meow Star people Poseidon's Temple in Sounion, another good sunset Two groups of mom and dad together National Archaeological Museum of Athens, definitely worth a day's visit Recommended photo spots in Santorini (detailed location) The biggest advantage of traveling in winter is that there are fewer people, but the disadvantage is that the weather is cold and rainy, but this time I was lucky. In Santorini, for a total of four whole days, only the afternoon of the arrival day was rainy. The rest of the weather was not bad, one of which was a completely sunny day. Santorini under the blue sky and Santorini on a cloudy day are not the same place at all. As long as there is sun, Santorini is a place where you can take beautiful pictures at will. The good photo spots are basically concentrated in Oia, in addition to the blue dome church in Firostefani that became popular because of National Geographic magazine. In fact, there are many large and small blue dome churches on Santorini. Sunset viewing platform Oia on Santorini is definitely the best place to watch the sunset. Recommend two places for sunrise Byzantine Castle Ruins GPS:36.460110,25.372734 This is the viewing platform very close to our homestay (the accommodation will be talked about later), not only the sunset is beautiful, but the sunrise is also highly recommended. But it is recommended to live next to this, otherwise you have to catch the last bus in winter, and there is no hope for watching the sunrise in the morning The sunrise, sunset and scenery shot from the perspective of the viewing platform The castle seen from the cafe, the location is really good On the castle A photographer who is dressed strangely early in the morning (it's really cold in the morning and evening) Oia’s sunset Oia's sunset (there is no specific building, refer to GPS for specific location) GPS:36.461819,25.375311 The sunset here can be shot with three blue domes as the background. This place is relatively close to the bus station in Oia. This place itself is also a good place for portrait shooting. It's a pity that the weather was not good that day. Peter North broke in behind a few days during the day and went again, a dog with a super sense of lens, the last day to watch the sunrise also came to get close to me

Escape to Santorini's Caldera Views

As I stood on the edge of the mesmerizing Santorini Caldera in the delightful town of Oia, I was captivated by the enchanting views that unfolded before my eyes. The white-washed buildings cascading down the cliffside, adorned with colorful bougainvillea, created a picture-perfect setting that seemed to be straight out of a dream. Exploring the narrow winding streets of Oia, I stumbled upon hidden gems, boutique shops, and charming cafes that beckoned me to sit and soak in the stunning scenery. The local cuisine was a treat for my taste buds, with fresh seafood and delectable Greek delicacies leaving me craving for more. Sunsets in Santorini are legendary, and I was lucky enough to witness one from the famous Oia Castle. As the sky turned into a canvas of vibrant hues, I could feel a sense of peace and tranquility wash over me. It was a moment that I will cherish for a lifetime. For those planning a visit to Santorini, I recommend exploring beyond Oia as well. The island offers breathtakingly beautiful beaches, such as the Red Beach and Kamari Beach, where you can unwind and bask in the Mediterranean sun. Exploring the ancient ruins of Akrotiri and visiting the traditional wineries to taste the renowned Santorini wine are also must-do experiences. However, it's important to note that the popularity of Santorini means that it gets crowded, especially during peak tourist season. To avoid the crowds, consider visiting during the shoulder seasons or planning your activities early in the morning. In conclusion, my trip to Santorini's Caldera Views in Oia was nothing short of magical. From the awe-inspiring views to the delectable cuisine, this destination truly lives up to its reputation as a paradise on earth. So, pack your bags, leave your worries behind, and embark on an unforgettable journey to Santorini's Caldera Views. #SantoriniEscape #BreathtakingViews #GreekParadise #falltrip#mytravelhacks#historicallandmarks

Between blue and white, the land of gods | Santorini, Greece

Come and see the holy island🏖️ Santorini is most famous for its sunset🌄 The sunset bathes the entire holy island in golden light Sitting on the roof watching the sunset, a little cat suddenly came by my side🐈 It rubbed against me and then snuggled up next to me Because of its company, the wind of the Aegean Sea has added a bit of romance The photos were taken in the town of Oia📸 Greece in February is off-season, basically no one, your company is probably some cats and dogs, but the photos are very good!! If it's not windy, a thick coat is enough for the weather in the teens. Local taxis can't swipe cards, remember to bring some cash. By the way, the daytime may disappoint you, but the scenery is really beautiful at sunset🎨 If you book a homestay with an outdoor hot spring, soaking in the hot spring and looking at the starry sky above your head is really so happy🥰

The White city

#greece #santorini Everybody has seen those famous blue roofs but not many people know it’s Oia city on Santorini island. A labyrinth of narrow streets invites you to have a walk in The White city, where so many Greek sunsets were filmed. Not only it’s literally white but also has many patches of colorful spots consisting of blooming trees and painted facades. Definitely worth visiting. Just better avoid the summertime heat and go during low season. 😉

Greece | Who knows about the off-season in Santorini in December

| Who knows about the off-season in Santorini in December. In December, on a whim, I took a 2-day and 1-night island-hopping trip to Greece. I thought you could only see the blue-domed churches in specific places, but it turns out they are everywhere on the island. It's really beautiful, not crowded, and you can take photos freely. I never thought I would have the chance to come here, and it's like ticking off one of the items on my life's checklist. 🥹✅

The red beach in Santorini 🇬🇷

#thingstodo Red beach is one of the beautiful beach on the island , especially the red colour is so attractive and it makes this place become unique. The reason why the beach is red is because the beach’s sand is composed of the black and red crush volcanic rocks. I really liked the view in here and when I crossed by, I saw a beautiful ocean wave and a special blue and white painting on the red rocks. They look gorgeous and beautiful. I will say this place is a must visit place in Santorini !! #Redbeach

Island hopping through Greece ✨ From the historical allure of Athens, to the vibrant nights in Mykonos, the mesmerizing landscapes of Milos, and the iconic sunsets in Santorini - every moment is a postcard picture waiting to be captured. 🇬🇷💙 #GreekIslandTour #TravelGoals2023 #wheretogo
