* Location of some blue dome areas we featured in the video. If you are coming from the Oia bus terminal: You will walk up a path taking you towards the sea side. You will enter into a square. Take a right. Not too far after this you hit Alexandros. There’s a left. Go down and after a few twists and turns you’ll end up there. If you hit Melevio on your left you’ve gone too far. If Melevio is on your right it’s just after Alexandros on your right.
There’s a different view but not as good further along, going towards to castle. You’ll see White Donkey on your right and Minerali on your left. Take the path on the left here.

Santorini is a magical place! We were there in 2002, when the "euro' was new & undervalued i.e.$.85 bought one euro! We came by ship & we could either take the tram, go by donkey or walk up the hundreds of steps! I chose to walk up in 100 plus temperature & came close to passing out! My wife & I only had one day to see the Island so we took the town bus to see it from end to end! !We had a great time & thouroughly enjoyed the Greek Islands & highly advocate going!

[@lisa_and_christian]

This may seriously be the best travel vlog I've ever watched and I watch A LOT of travel vlogs. It was informative, descriptive, honest, and a visual feast for the eyes....absolutely everything you want to know when you visit a place. The only thing I hoped for was to see a shot of a typical restaurant menu prices. Otherwise, awesome awesome video!

[@SuitcaseMonkey]

Thank you for your kind words! I am doing a follow up Santorini video which goes more into details. I’m not sure if I have any footage though so will check for the next one. Overall I’d say it was on the expensive side of European prices for dining. But if you looked hard enough there were good prices to be found with trip advisor. If you like my style please check out my other full length vlogs. Thanks again. kzbin.info/aero/PLszSmMLISbAcilIqoPDeBLzx40PjI7cAE

You showcase the area very well and your calm voice is soothing.

Wawww, an Amazing video! I love Santorini, I was there for my first time in 1979! And I also remember the film "Summer Lovers", they filmed it in Santorini, I think in 1982 or 1983, I was in those years there! And you can see how was exactly Santorini in those years ! More authentic, most of the people use to live in θήρα and Οια, there were some restaurants, and some hotels, and you can stay in some houses which used to rented the people who lived there, now as you can see, most of them they have converted in hotels, night clubs, restaurants,and also the rest of the island, which in those days, you could see many vineyards on terraces and small white domed churches scattered along the island!

[@mvanoosterhoutfotografie]

probably the best Santorini video i saw to this date. thanks a lot for all the info given. Been there in august 1991, when it was still pretty quiet. Now going back next year june (2020), can't wait!!

Alison Alexandratou Do you know what those poor donkeys get for dinner? Half an hour, fucking mint x

[@annmitchell4663]

I never went on one when I was there and never would..I believe they have restricted the weight they can carry now? The best thing is for tourists to simply NOT use them at all and it would eventually stop.

We were in Santorini eight years ago as part of a trip for our own 40th anniversary and to attend a Greek/Irish just wedding just outside Athens. All I can say is if you have not been to Santorini, it is time you went. In a word, it is glorious. Yes, Fira gets crowded during the day while the other tourists visit from the cruise ships. So do your shopping earlier or later in the day when the cruisers return to their ships. That is if the cruise ships ever return.
