    If you are in Santorini, a tour with Sebastian is a must. I cannot tell you how great the full day tour was that he had us on. It was truly the best tour I’ve ever been on and cannot recommend him highly enough. He is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating with anything you may ask. Has the best tips. Go on one of his tours, you will not be disappointed!

    I’ve just recently returned from Santorini, I watched all of Sebastian’s videos prior to going and found all the Information extremely helpful.
    Simple things like the local bus service, how to get around, the best sunset views and tour advice were accurate. We arrived well informed and didn’t waste time on arrival finding out all the local tips. The Fira to Oia tour with Sebastian was fantastic.

    Hi, We are travelling to Santorini from UK for a week in April. We will be staying in Santorini for first 3 nights, then taking a Ferry from Santorini to Mykonos and staying in Mykonos for 3 nights/ 4 days. We will then return to Santorini for 1 additional night before flying back to UK. Can we pick hired car from Santorini airport and drop off at Ferry Terminal? Alternatively, we could keep the hired car for 7 nights and leave the hired car at ferry terminal for 3 nights while we are in Mykonos. Is there free/cheap parking at Santorini Ferry Terminal and can we leave hired car there for few nights? What would you recommend? Thanks in advance for your response.

    • @GreeceExplained
      @GreeceExplained  2 роки тому +1

      Hi Marjorie ! Activities / excursions have a flat rate, so no need to book too much ahead of time. HOWEVER in July the demand for photoshoots will probably skyrocket, and it's possible that all photographers will be sold out by then. I believe booking 1-2 weeks ahead of time is the sweet spot.
