I'm thinking of only visiting Santorini for three days. My friends are a big history lovers and they want to spend most of our trip to Greece in Athens. But I convinced them that there's no way we're visiting Greece without visiting Santorini. So we decided on just three days, what are the must see things to do on the island? Any advice is much appreciated.
 
I would definitely find a way to get to Oia for at least one of the days, even if it is just for the day. Stay for sunset. There is a nice walk/hike from Fira to Oia, too, which might be nice to do.
 
For your friends that love history I definitely suggest that you go to the prehistoric town of akrotiri
Ancient thira
The natural history museum
The folklore history museum
The lost Atlantis 9d museum.
That will keep your friends busy well you can sunbathe or have drinks.
Pm me if you need more info

Saving Money in Santorini?

I'm planning a trip to Santorini but am a bit concerned about the costs. I've heard that it can be quite an expensive destination, especially with all the luxury hotels and high-end restaurants. However, I'm determined to experience the beauty of Santorini without breaking the bank.

Can anyone share tips or advice on how to do Santorini on a budget? I'm looking for affordable accommodation options—maybe hostels, budget hotels, or even good Airbnbs. Also, what are some budget-friendly places to eat where I can still enjoy authentic Greek cuisine?

Are there free or low-cost activities and sights that you would recommend? I'm particularly interested in enjoying the famous sunsets, exploring the villages, and maybe visiting a few beaches or hiking trails.

Any advice on saving money on transportation around the island would also be greatly appreciated.

Taking a Boat Tour of Santorini?

I am really excited about my trip to Santorini and wanted to do something different. Was thinking of a boat tour! However, with so many options available, I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed and would love to hear from those who have experienced boat tours in Santorini before.

I'm particularly interested in hearing about your recommendations for boat tour companies or specific tours that stood out to you. Whether it's a catamaran cruise, a traditional Greek wooden boat excursion, or a luxury yacht experience, I'm open to all suggestions!

What were the highlights of your boat tour? Did you visit iconic landmarks like the volcanic hot springs, the famous Red Beach, or the picturesque island of Thirassia? How was the overall experience in terms of service, safety, and value for money?

Also, any tips or advice on booking the tour, such as the best time of day to go, whether morning, afternoon, or sunset, would be greatly appreciated. I want to make sure I choose the right tour that fits my preferences and budget.

Renting a Jet Ski in Santorini?

I’m planning a trip to Santorini and I’m really looking forward to hitting the water. I’m particularly interested in renting a jet ski to explore the coastline, but I’ve never done it before in Greece, so I’d love some advice.

Can anyone recommend the best places in Santorini to rent a jet ski? I’m looking for a reputable rental spot with good-quality equipment and fair prices. Also, are there any specific areas around the island that are especially great to explore by jet ski, like hidden beaches or cool rock formations?

I’d also appreciate any tips on what to expect in terms of safety, required licenses, or permits for jet skiing in Santorini. Is it worth booking in advance, or is it easy to rent on the spot?

Santorini Volcano Tour?

I'm planning a trip to Santorini and am really interested in taking a volcano tour. I've read a bit about the different options available, but I would love to hear some personal experiences and advice from those who have done it.

Is it worth it to take a guided tour, or is it easy enough to explore on your own by renting a boat? Also, are there any specific tours or companies you'd recommend?

Thanks in advance for your help! Looking forward to hearing your recommendations.

Advice for Santorini Nightlife?

I'm planning a trip to Santorini soon and would love some recommendations on where to experience the best nightlife. I've heard the island has a lot to offer, from beach bars to nightclubs, but I'd appreciate some personal insights on must-visit spots.

Specifically, I'm interested in:
  • Beach Bars: Any cool places where I can enjoy a drink with a seaside view?
  • Nightclubs: Where are the best places to dance the night away?
  • Unique Experiences: Any hidden gems or local favorites that I shouldn't miss?
