This is by far the best vlog I've seen on Santorini. Everyone only talks about Oia and Thera, and don't realize that there are so many other picturesque villages on the island, that are virtually unknown to tourists. You showcased the island quite well and no annoying music. You should have gone in search of that party. They would have invited you. Greeks are incredibly hospitable.
Thank you so much! It’s comments like these that keep me motivated. I like the music to compliment the scene not be the scene. I probably should have but it was too hot to wander around looking for it. Oh I am familiar with their hospitality. I live here and experience it a lot. Thanks for watching.
@@agirlandherpassport Yes, I agree. Oh you do? That explains a lot. You're welcome. 😊 I'll definitely be checking out your videos on some of the other islands. It's nice to see videos that take you beyond the usual tourist spots. And there are more cool places on the island that are even less known. And these sorts of places have a completely different vibe when they aren't packed to the brim with tourists. This may be one of the only good things that came from this pandemic. So experience it while you can. ❤
Yes, I have lived here for almost two years. Most of the smaller islands are quiet in any year but the normally busy places aren’t as busy. It’s been an interesting time to be here for sure.
Beautiful Santorini. I was there back in the 90s, though it was wall to wall people then. Thanks for sharing this with us. Enjoy your vacation and stay safe!
I am leaving for Greece in two weeks for my birthday! I’m so excited!! Will be there for two weeks so I’m trying to plan out our itinerary. Your videos have been so amazing and helpful! So happy things have opened up!
Great video again, Tiffany! Well done. I will be visiting Santorini via Cruise Ship excursion during the second week of October. I’ll have to see were the light house is in reference to the port or harbor.
Thank you for the Oia, Santorini tour. Haven't been there in ages.. like 20 yrs. Akrotiri remains same. I think they just keep it that way strictly for tourism fare. BTW Your camera is excellent. Enjoy Ellada for us. I miss it.
Hey all, For those asking about the situation here I live here. From 15th June more things will open. Masks are mandatory but I would say 50% wear them. Rent a car, please don’t rent a ATV they are really dangerous and annoying on the roads for drivers. We have too many tourists die or have bad accidents from them and our hospital isn’t great. The sea is still cold but the days are beautiful. Welcome to Greece 🇬🇷
Thank you, Christina! I 100% agree with you on the ATV. They are very dangerous. Plus, why would you rent an ATV when you could have a nice air conditioned car! I would say the hospitals on the Greek islands are more like clinics and are not equipped for serious accidents and most people who had serious injuries would have to go back to Athens for treatment. Not a great way to end a vacation.
@@agirlandherpassport there's a little old church on the other side of Thera (Kamari side) about half way up the mountain. My hubby and I want to renew our vows there in 3 years for our 10th Anniversary!
We have one day in Santorini catching a really early flight out and a late flight back. What are the must see sights in Santorini that you can’t miss and maybe a beach to relax for an hour or so
I say Akrotiri is the must see thing but I am a history geek. Most people would say walking around Oia. The beaches are not Sandy beaches so I am not sure they are a must there.
@@agirlandherpassport please recommend a hotel for me and my husband when we go to Oia. Is staying at a hotel in Fira a better option. We are thinking of going in August.
^Your vids are wonderful!Would you recommend someone to visit Santorini or Mykonos? I wanted to visit with my parents. I know both look beautiful of course. But, if they are both super similar in terms of what they have to offer and pretty places which would u suggested? We don't plan to drive at all lol. But, we love doing day tours.
I saw your other comment so my response is in relation to that. Santorini is very hard on the knees as there are lots of steps and walking. It is also not ideal to not rent a car there. Mykonos is a party island and I don't think your parents will enjoy it as much. Pick a slower paced less visited island. You will need an island with a good bus system.
@@agirlandherpassport thank you for the advice 🙂yeah I have to think more about which islands to visit for next summer just because one of my parents has a hard time on hills 🤷♀️ so I shall see.
@A Girl, we're going to be there on June 15th so we've been watching your informative and entertaining vlogs. What percentage of the population on average is wearing a mask while outside? From what I see it's a mix but wasn't sure... We are just curious and will follow the populations lead. LOVE your videos,,, thanks again
Hi there- Do you find that mid May is warm enough to visit Santorini (and other islands) and swim as well? We are trying to steer clear of the crowded times but also take advantage of nice weather.
It’s warm but I don’t think it’s warm enough to swim at that time. I suggest mid-September or later. It is still warm and the water is at its warmest of the year. Santorini might still be crowded but the rest of the islands except for maybe Mykonos will be less crowded.
Hi, thank you for being so helpful, btw. My friend and I have a flight from the US leaving on Sunday the 20th but won’t land in santorini until the Monday. We were thinking we would take our PCR test on the Friday before in hopes that we will receive results within 24 hours. Do you know how Greece works as far as the 72 hours, does it start once we receive results and does it matter that we will be in a different time zone when we land so it would not technically be the full 72 hours as of yet. Thank you in advance for any help you can provide. I hope it all make sense. 😊
My BFF and I cannot wait. We will be there the week of June 20th and we are just so excited!!! Do you think it’s best to pay for things with EUR or USD?
Do you have the notifications turned on? If you are subscribed but don’t have the notifications turned on, it won’t always do it. UA-cam thinks it knows what you want to see. 😩
are there noncar and bus transportation (atv/golfcarts) that can be rented out to move around? We are a group of 3 with only one person with a license. Curious if we could get something that can fit us all in and if an international license is required
The bus is the best option if you aren't going to rent a car, especially with three people. ATV are dangerous and three people cannot ride them. An international driver's license is require to rent a car in Greece.
Hi, We are making plans to go to Greece first 2 weeks in October. Do you feel that Santorini will still be open enough tourist-wise to do things, or do the islands close down pretty much so we should move our trip up? Thanks for your videos.
Hi! There will still be things open. This year is hard to tell how much though. I love the islands in October. There might be less places to eat but the sites will still be open.
Well I am not an expert on that since I don't have kids and I don't do resorts either. However, I have two place to recommend. One is in Oia, www.booking.com/hotel/gr/strogili.en.html?aid=1361192&no_rooms=1&group_adults=2. And one in Kamari that is on a pebble beach and might be more kid friendly, www.booking.com/hotel/gr/blue-waves-kamari.en.html?aid=1361192&no_rooms=1&group_adults=2. Hope that helps.
They can be. I recommend a sweater or a jacket. I have a whole blog post on what to pack for Greece. agirlandherpassport.com/what-to-pack-for-greece/ Hope that helps!
@@agirlandherpassport I live in Southern CA, and walk 8 miles a day in La Quinta, trails, Cove Oasis trails, it is challenging but nice walking before sunrise,,,,
How scary are the roads to drive in Santorini? Seems like a lot of narrow roads with big drop offs but you said you were afraid of heights and looked like you managed ok. As an American did you have to get an international drivers license?
I am planning a Greece trip right now and we were going to try to do 2 islands, but I think I may just focus on one and spend more time there. Would you recommend Mykonos, Santorini, or Crete? (or another one?)
@@agirlandherpassport We are not set on dates yet but thinking may because (according to google) that is the time with fewest tourists? We’d like a beach, history, culture, and maybe some hiking. There is a chance we’ll have a 14-year-old with us now too.
@@JaclyTravel It might not be warm enough to swim in May. It depends on what you are used to. At that time of year, the further south you can go the better so I would go to Crete. Plus it has everything you want! Santorini would be next. Hope that helps.
hello, just got back from Greece on Sunday, good to see you're having fun, we did all my plans that I told you about before, have to say, people should definitely go to Greece NOW, because there are no people there, and they need your MONEY.
@@agirlandherpassport yes it was fantastic, maybe a little too much walking but we got to see a lot of new stuff this time and really enjoyed ourselves.
@@agirlandherpassport I think we did 7 miles in Athens our last day, Acropolis from our hotel to Lycebettos back to our hotel, shopping in Plaka and then out to Bakalagatos in Kypseli and back for dinner. Our hotel the Attalos is in Psiri.
@@burntusa You walked to Kypseli! No wonder you did so many miles. I could have recommended something closer to your hotel At least you walked off dinner.
Hello! If you’re American and watching this video and planning to visit Greece soon, are you flying straight to Greece or transiting through another European airport? Im getting a bit nervous about these covid restrictions and cases rising in Greece. Any help appreciated!
Greece’s case are not rising and are slowly going down. Transiting won’t be an issue. Just make sure to know the requirements for the transiting country as well.
if you are flying through another country, the website for the airport will have the current covid restrictions for people passing through. In Germany, where we flew through, you had to have a negative PCR test 48 hours before landing.
Hey there, I am travelling to Greece next week. We land in Athens on the 14th . Looking for flights from Athens to Crete. Which airlines would you recommend? Thank you
There are taxis but there are only 40 so it can be an issue if you go in August. They are also expensive. It would be cheaper to rent a car than take a taxi everywhere you want to go.
You do need an international drivers license to rent a car here. There are buses but they take time. So if you have lots of time then you can take the bus.
@a girl and her passport If we stay in Oia instead of Fira sometime August 2021, what hotel can you recommend since we are working on a budget. We don’t wanna go cheap but not too extravagant too.
Oia isn't known to be budget friendly as it is the most expensive area on the island. I stayed in this place a few years ago and it was nice, Strogili, www.booking.com/hotel/gr/strogili.en.html?aid=1361192&no_rooms=1&group_adults=2 If you must stay in Oia, I would just do it one night and then stay somewhere else for the rest of your trip.

Not now but early next year I would especially if you know your dates. Just make sure it’s cancelable with all that is still going on.
To rent a car do you need anything special? I read something about a international drivers license. And is the Island easily accessible by bus?
You do need an international drivers license to rent a car here. There are buses but they take time. So if you have lots of time then you can take the bus.
Or rent an ATV! It's such a great way to explore the island 🏝
It’s very dangerous in my opinion. I have heard of so many people breaking their legs.

Come soon then!!
Seems dead compared to what we have heard! Not sure if that’s a good or bad thing!! Lol how’s the situation with Covid there ?
It was for sure! It was good in some way as there were no crowds to compete with but there wasn't much open in Oia. It is getting better here.
@@agirlandherpassport thanks for the quick reply! Will be there (Athens) in a week! Any idea how it is there? Off to the island in July!
You’re welcome! Well I meant all of Greece. Today’s cases were 1300ish for the whole country. I live in Athens though.
Which island are you going to?
@@agirlandherpassport Mykonos, Naxos, Milos and Santorini if all are open ! At least that’s the current plan ☺️
