Delightful Travellers Thanks for the great video! Can't wait to go soon!!What was that restaurant and pool called again and winery called in the last video?

[@DelightfulTravellers]

The pool and restaurant is at Canaves Oia Hotel. The winery in the last video is called Venetsanos 👍- Anna

[@fernandocervantes7023]

So glad to have found (and subscribed to your channel). You guys have helped us plan our upcoming trip to Athens/Greek islands. Thanks!

[@henalihenali]

Your commentsabout instagram and the crowds is so accurate...

[@chrismack3327]

As a Canadian, it never ceases to amaze me how amazing tomatoes taste in Greece. One can live eating tomato salad every day of their trip. Greece is so simple and basic, that it actually transformed my perspective of how life should be lived. Great video! You brought back so many wonderful memories of my journey through Greece.

[@basilismakedonas4531]

Greece is amazing !! You should vizit also Macedonia and Thessaloniki, Kastoria, Edessa, Meteora, Chalkidiki, Olympus mountain, Thassos island, etc !!

[@DR-bh3gi]

Love Santorini- stayed in Imerovigli and i took the most amazing pictures. Hardly any people in that town and the best views!!! Loved your video it reminded me of the great time i had!

[@joescott]

I liked this video. So many travel videos have people just gushing about how great everything is, but I liked the honesty here. My wife and I are traveling to Santorini soon, we're looking forward to it!

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Joe thank you! We're glad you liked it and hopefully it gave you some tips. Santorini is gorgeous... the views are just over the top. I know you'll love it... just get ready for lots of people at sunset in Oia 😉 - Trevor

[@Orleanstx221]

That’s so relaxing what a beautiful scenic

[@hblmb4]

OMG, just saw your Greece videos and they’re awesome very informative. My wife and I are going to Greece: Santorini, Crete, Telendos and Athens this August for the first time. Great tips!!! Thank you for your service. 🤙🏼

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Oh thanks so much. We're glad they are helping you plan your trip. Have so much fun. You're going to love it! We'll be back there again soon too - Trevor

[@lee02jepson]

I went to Oia about 9 yrs before you did and it wasn't as congested with people as you are saying (we went in high season too). We loved it, stayed for about 5 days in a Cave cabin, with is wonderful, would never stay in a hotel. But it seams like its got a lot more congested than when we were there. I did love how there is no through traffic, making it very relaxing. There was more dogs there then cats at that time.

[@rach71096]

So glad I found your channel! My mom and I are traveling to Greece next May and I've been doing lots of research. Keep up the great work!!!

[@DelightfulTravellers]

I hope our videos give you a lot of tips Rachel. Let us know how it goes 😃 - Anna

[@bbkklyon]

You expressed exactly why we so enjoy your videos, they are not staged. I don't want to watch "see me" postings from travelers! Love your work, have safe trip to Crete :)

[@DelightfulTravellers]

❤️this comment Michelle! Our videos are definitely not staged as you said. We call it like we see it and we really try to give people a real 'feet on the ground' approach to a location. It's so good to know that's coming across. Yay! 😀 Crete is going to be fun! Get ready - Trevor

[@taki2003]

well said guys. Travel is about the experience and the authenticity; not something to "check" off your list, so to speak. Get off the beaten path, see the real parts of the country and the people; I applaud you guys for always doing that; it's why you are my favorites!!

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Favourites? 😊😊 Wow thanks Taki, that means a lot. We always look for the real thing but it's nice to see beautiful hot spots sometimes too. 👌 - Anna

[@jonathanbob852]

Enjoyed your video. Going to Greece in May. Flying from US to Athens then flight to Naxos. 4 days in Naxos then ferry to Thira (Santorini). 4 days Thira then flight to Athens. 3 days Athens then flight home. Very excited. Was hard to choose what todo and where to go. Saving Crete for its own trip. Cheers

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Have fun! Crete is like a whole other planet so it's wise to do that separately - Trevor

[@kenandcoreen7179]

Great vlog! Santorini is our favorite place in our travels, it is stunning. We have been lucky enough to go 2x in 2010 and 2015. We stayed in Oia both times, going around the beginning of October. Less tourists at that time of the year, beautiful weather. When the cruise ships are in, it is extremely busy. We found however when the sun set, and everyone made their way back to the ships, we honestly felt like we had Oia to ourselves. It was so amazing. We also made very intentional plans when the ships were in, (you can find cruise schedules online) to be on other parts of the island. The bus is very easy to take around the island with the main station in Fira. Visiting the ruins in Akrotiri, or a beach such as Perissa made for fantastic days away from the majority of tourists. Heading back to Oia to our cave house, heading out to a great restaurant with the most amazing night views, are memories we will keep for a lifetime. I highly encourage everyone to go to Santorini. If you can stay for a few nights, even better. We have been to Athens, Mykonos, and Corfu as well. We love Greece, and hope to visit more islands, but will always include Santorini in any visit to that area. Have to agree with you as well about Dubrovnik - another one of our favorites!

[@fantomedelopera]

Thanks for the video. Great to learn about the differences between Fira, Imerovigli and Oia. Also interesting to hear how staged those 'perfect' Santorini pictures are!

[@lametherasmith41]

You guys opened up my eyes because I just came on KZbin to see how other things look there because i wanna go so bad.... because of the pictures then people taking and the Beauty of the place but the you for Being real .

[@DelightfulTravellers]

You're welcome. We always try to call it like we see it. Santorini is beautiful but wow are there are tons of people - Trevor

[@JuneK618]

You guys perfectly expressed everything I love about this island. Words just can’t describe how stunning this place is and I’m lucky to call it my home every summer and winter!! 😍 I’m so glad I found your channel. I love how you guys are keeping it real with your travel videos. Keep it up. New sub here!!

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Woohoo Junebug! Thanks for subscribing. I can't imagine living on that beautiful island. The views are just over the top. We have a lot more content on the way so get ready! 😃- Anna

[@JuneK618]

Delightful Travellers oh I can’t wait for more future contents. Hopefully you guys can visit again. I would love to show you guys some of my favorite things to do in the island 🤗. Being from New York City, the island is a paradise for me. 🥰

[@TT3TT3]

Next time go to the archaeological site. The volcano island. Ancient Thira. The two Museums. Walk the caldera rim.

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Will do.. we heard all about those spots but we just ran out of time basically. We know at some point we'll be back - Trevor

[@aokiaoki4238]

Vegetables and wine in Santorini are different, its because the volcano soil

[@belumakanpisang]

yes agreed. had the best wine and tomatos in my life there

[@swissadventures6591]

its super delicious

[@diego_xelmundo]

Such an awesome video! I’ll be visiting In June and your videos helped plan on what to do especially Canaves Oia ☺️ cheers from Mexico!

[@RobsQuest]

Santorini is a real beautiful island. I love the white and blue houses. The view from the Restaurant is really beautiful and the food looks soo good! Again very cool facts! Good that you had no problems with the language barrier :)

[@swissadventures6591]

We just got back from Santorini. We stayed for 10 days. It is the most beautiful island and we are already planning to go back next year. Locals are wonderful and kind. Currently missing greek wine, salad and the desserts :)

[@oh0my]

I am going to santorini and thank god its will be in April. And not in July . I love the video! And subscribed immediately:)

Thank you so much ❤🙏 we love our tourists ❤❤

[@ouritaliandestiny7955]

Luckily when I did my 60th birthday cruise we were the only cruise ship,.. off season traveling has it's perks! Us girls booked a tour that took us from one end of the island to the other so no crowds what so ever! I'm hoping to go back so Stijn can enjoy it as well and we will follow your advice and immerse ourselves in the culture and stay off the beaten track....and maybe in the off season again, Great video, thanks for sharing!

Arthur A always coming with the best comments! It means so much Arthur. We appreciate all the support! 🙌 - Anna

[@joeb5080]

You guys did the best thing Santorini: check out Oia, but ditch the sunset, and check out Imerovigli, vineyards, and some off-the-beaten-track places instead. The sunset is no different than sunsets anywhere in the world, yet the island itself is amazing. I second all your advice!

[@hiltonjenndc2823]

Really enjoying your videos and getting to know you guys. I wish you posted more than once a week!

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Awe thanks guys! 😍 Every now and then we post 2 videos in a week. But it's only when we have way too much content filmed. It's a lot of work to even do 1 video. Especially while we run a whole other business. Although.. I bet at some point we will move up to 2 vids. That would also help with subscribers and more viewers in general. Win win! - Trevor

[@hiltonjenndc2823]

We totally get it! We’ve just barely started our channel and we both work full time and we’re raising teenagers, so time is a commodity. We really enjoy your videos and look forward to them coming out each week!

Lol I honestly think sunset is the same in the whole world because there’s only one sun. But I’m still debating which area I should stay this august for the honeymoon. We don’t like too many people, we like walk around with good views and activities.

You really don't need anything else at all do you. The hotel was the icing on the cake as well. - Trevor

Thanks so much for sharing your video! My friends and I will be traveling to Santorini this summer and we are planning on going to Canaves after watching your video! Can you please kindly share which restaurant at Canavas you went to? I checked their website and looks like they have multiple restaurants. Thank you! :)

What’s the beautiful restaurant you went to? And how was the pricing? Thanks.

[@DelightfulTravellers]

That place was called Canaves Oia. It's a high end hotel but it's priced pretty good for what you get. It's worth it for the view - Anna

We were there in July. It was extremely but worth it - Trevor

[@cheyzah]

hi! i came across your videos as i’m thinking about traveling to greece :) if i want to go to santorini and athens do u suggest flying from athens to santorini or by a cruise ship?

[@DelightfulTravellers]

We took a ferry to Naxos from Athens, Then to Paros.. then to Santorini. Flying is easier.. but Greece is much more than just Santorini - Anna

[@cheyzah]

Delightful Travellers thanks for the quick & detailed response💞 yes, there’s so much to see in greece! i think i can only take off work for a week at a time so for me the first time in Greece i think i will try to see Athens and Santorini then venture to others hopefully 😅 wouldn’t wanna waste all of my time off getting to the places u know? lol thanks again!

[@DelightfulTravellers]

@@cheyzah 100% .. in that case.... Do 2 days in Athens... 2-3 days in Santorini and 3 days in Naxos or Paros (you could do both.. these 2 islands are side by side). Both are super charming and quiet and less touristy if you're into that. It makes for a great Greece combo. We have videos on them too. Have so much fun! - Trevor

[@charlab.7838]

We were in Santorini in late August. It is beautiful! We were on a cruise ship but I would love to go there and stay a few days. Just a tidbit of info...did you know that all their water has to be brought in? There is no natural water source on the island. We went from there to Mykonos! It's beautiful too but nothing compares to the views in Santorini. Thanks for the video!

[@DelightfulTravellers]

I'm not sure we knew about that fact actually. Santorini is spectacular. We still can't get over those views - Anna

[@mpourmpoulithra2011]

what you said in the end couldn’t be more accurate..ppl go there because they want the Instagram photos and to simply say they’ve been there..same thing happened with Haley Pham..she literally said Santorini is horrible because it wasn’t like what she sees on Instagram..so ignorant and disrespectful.

[@DelightfulTravellers]

Haley Pham said 'Greece is not fun' and she told people not to go. We're the exact opposite of that as we are massive fans of the country. We highly recommend visiting Greece. We just said don't just visit Santorini. (only)... pair it with other places. That all said, Santorini is beautiful. - Trevor

Poor donkeys :( it’s a really big problem in Greece. They pass their lives closed in little spaces and the only times they go out is to transport fat tourist in the sun. When they’re sick they just let them die and throw them in trash like disposable things. I’m Greek and I watched that happen again and again.
