Is Santorini Worth The Hype?! Greeces Most Famous Island

[@chikoboy21]

Here is a little advice from a Greek who has been to Santorini many times. You do not go to Santorini for the beaches you go for that amazing view. If you notice in the video they had spent 169 euro on dinner for 2, he also mentioned if you want the view you need to make reservations ahead of time. What I suggest, and what I do when I go to Santorini is put all my money towards a room with a great view. This way you have that view 24/7 and without the crowds. Avoid the resturants where you are clearly paying for the view, there are many good resturants that will deliver to your room, there you can enjoy a romantic dinner with an amazing view on your own balcony. Even if you're having gyro and some wine from the corner store it's way cheaper and I'd rather wake up to that view then pay over 150 euro to enjoy it for an hour. Many of these hotels offer breakfast as well. Spend a little extra on that room and a little less on food. You will not regret having that view 24/7

[@rocking1313]

Thanks G T for the excellent tip. Would you recommend looking for a place facing the eastern side or the western side in Fira?

[@chikoboy21]

@@rocking1313 No problem. West off the caldera for sure. There are also nice smaller towns to stay at where you won't have to pay an arm and a leg to have a pool, or access to one, and if you don't want the crowds in Fira or Oia. Here are 2 places we stayed at in smaller towns. Megaloxori has some great hotels with a view, we stayed at Artemis Suites and loved it. Also in Akrotiri you can find reasonable priced rooms with a view. One year we stayed at Villa Maria in Akrotiri, very reasonable, and the breakfast was amazing. But if you want to go all out, Fira and Oia are great and less busy in the off season.

[@veronicaivanova]

There are nice restaurants with a view where you don't pay 150 euro 🙂

[@lovinglife7897]

Thank You. I will be going in March. I do prefer to stay in a hotel with the view for sure. I will look into hotels in the area that you suggested. I want to do tours. I am not going to rent a car

[@johns9969]

Agree. Went to Dana Suites half way down the cliff. LOT of stopes,stunning view. Also time the cruises, that is where the flood of people come from.

[@ReigneOrShine]

My husband and I visited Santorini at the end of October (which is considered as low season) and it was perfect. There was no crazy crowd. We were walking on the narrow streets like we own the place. We met very friendly locals. We stayed in a suite with our own jacuzzi and it was very near the famous blue domes and it costed 210 euros. The weather was amazing too (not too hot nor too cold). When we went to Pyrgos, there was totally no tourists. My husband and I prefer to visit places during the low season because accommodations are much cheaper, less crowded and we can appreciate the places more when you can roam the streets like a local.

[@GreeceExplained]

October is the best month to visit Santorini !! The OTHER best month is ..... explained in my video :-) kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6ewhayaq81sfLc

[@sriramcan]

wot a co incidence. we are going end of oct (tomm!) and also staying in a. suite with jacuzzi and also near blue domes. We are also against crowds and never travel in august.

[@macabredanceparty5277]

Same, but just know the place is 1/4 open so finding places to eat is hard and places to do laundry are closed if you are in-between destinations, otherwise perfect. I've been summer and fall and I would choose fall every time. But I also hate people and don't like to party.

[@abdullahmahomed3697]

[@travelertrome8449]

Went to Santorini in May 2006. Absolutely stunning and not too crowded. Not even in Oia. Wine tasting was fun too! I also went to Santo Wines and the place was practically empty! We had any table to choose from!

[@ScottSouthy]

When booking your trip to Santorini check the large cruise ship itineraries. There is generally a few days a week when the major large cruise lines don't visit the island. The largest crowds come from the cruise ships and the island is much nicer on the days when the cruise ship passengers aren't there.

[@MaryLova]

I worked 3 years as a seasonal worker in Santorini and I loved being on the island every day of it ! Yes it will super crowded but that’s why it’s crowded cuz it’s amazingly beautiful! Just don’t go in the high season June-august and you won’t deal with so many people ! Also Oia is where all the people go for the sunset but I’ve seen a better sunset in many places of the island such as Imerovigli , Ancient Thira , Akrotiri . The Lighthouse is also a place to visit especially at night if you’re more on the edgy side

[@markrickerbyadventurestories]

Great video! I spent a summer on Santorini and had the time of my life. There's something very special about it. The mixture and accessibility of the crowded "crossroads of the world" and isolated villages and undeveloped areas. The clear water. The world-famous sunsets. The kind-hearted natives. My time there marked me forever, in the best ways possible.

[@TheBlaqueKangaroo]

I have filmed in so many places that didn't live up to the hype from IG. Santorini seem like a destination worth the visit, now it's on the bucket list!! Thanx for the Video.

[@lostleblanc]

I agree. As long as you’re down for the cons, the pros are pretty incredible

[@gregkahele154]

Did you take a close look at the crowds.? UGH!

[@Karen-tl6qg]

I went in April 2018 from Paris. It was best time to go! Very few tourist. I met many locals most from Athens coming to start work for the Summer. They treated me like Family. I cruised, ate, shopped and just hung with really nice people. I stayed in one of those white villas with balcony overlooking Agean.

[@MultiDoctor]

As a Greek that have visited most Greek islands (from Mykonos (not my vibe) to Kalymnos and Gavdos) I can tell you that hell yeah Santorini is worth the hype!! Is one of the most beautiful places I ve ever seen but you have to do it right and you have to be prepared for what you ll find. If you are looking for a place that you can feel the Greek hospitality go to Crete, Naxos, Amorgos, Icaria or Serifos. If you are looking for the best all around island go to Milos. But if you are looking for the most beautiful place in Greece for a romantic getaway then Santorini is the place to go! Don’t go to Santorini if you are not prepared for spending more than what you do in most Greek islands still way cheaper than LA, Positano, Singapore or other high end destinations)! And now some tips: Stay in Oia and if not in Oia in Imerovigli! As the video showed Santorini is for romantic and relaxing vacations and Oia is probably the most romantic place on earth! Pay the extra bucks and stay in a room with a caldera view , if you can have your own outdoor hot tub even better. There is no better way to finish your night by having a bottle of wine with the best view in the hot tub! Rent a car or scooter! Vazaios rental cars have good prices and they have their own parking for customers in Oia where you can easily park for free!! That’s a huge plus for Oia as otherwise parki g is difficult to find. Go for a boat tour: There are many companies that are doing tours (always prefer the sunset tours) like spiridakos and caldera yachting. Wine tasting is also a nice thing you can do but do not expect Tuscany or Provence levels of quality. Cavo tagoo is beautiful and Vezene is a great restaurant (at least the Athens version) but overpriced. I wouldn’t recommend any of them, but if you want that infinity pool vibe Spa of the gods is a way cheaper option. Beach Bars: plenty good beach bars to relax and have lunch like Wet stories, seaside etc Restaurants: Here we go! Santorini has amazing restaurants! Please make a gift to yourself and have a dinner (make a reservation for right before sunset) at Lycabetus or Five senses for a fine dining experience that you will remember! Go to Armeni (have to call them to come pick you up with a boat) to have an amazing experience with fantastic seafood ! Take the boat from Amoudi to Thirasia and visit Agkistri to feel the authentic vibe of the island! Captain Nicolas cave is good spot for local food But also DO NOT SKIP A VISIT TO ROZA!! Greek food at its best ! Santorini simply is a fantastic place!

A few decades ago Santorini was mostly known for its archaeological digs and donkeys you rode up to the towns. Hardly anybody knew about it. It had no jet airport, no infinity pools, fine dining or expensive lodgings. It changed by the 80s but then the internet pushed the changes into hyperdrive.

Glad I made it to Santorini 2020 when Covid was going strong all over the planet but trips within Europe were possible! I just fell in love with this Island and for me it totally worth the hype. :) I stayed in Fira and loved it and hiked all the way to Oia and took the bus back when I got dark.

[@eirini.karanikoli]

Heyy! Greek student here and i have to admit... I've been once in Santorini and I barely managed to afford wine tasting and catch some great views! I'm so blessed that being part of this culture but basically and unfortunately, places like that are definitely not for students, even not for the average greek individual. This video gave me so many great images and i really thank you guys for that! Last but not least, if you ever being in Santorini again, you should visit Sigalas Domaine and get some local but exclusive vibes, wines and dishes. Also, it'd be a great idea to take the path early in the morning from Fira to Oia, to get some stunning views of Caldera and Santo villages with no crowds. Just remember you must have a hat, sunscreen, water, snacks and almost 5h to spend walking. But this is definitely a great experience

[@AlbertHarrisphoto]

I got really lucky during covid last year to stay in a luxury hotel in Oia with covid pricing (500-800 a night) that had two private pools and a caldera view. Normal pricing is 1k to 1.6k a night now with the nicest suite. I'm going to say this. Staying in Santorini is a once-in-a-lifetime thing, especially with a loved one. Once you have done it you don't need to go back unless it's for work or you're a travel creator. The other islands are awaiting you if you decide to go back to Greece!

[@GameMakerForum]

If you have a small budget (like me), and you like camping with tents, you can go for the "Santorini Camping" in Fira. The spot is beautiful and near the center of the capital.

[@gavinparson]

My wife and I went in September 2020. Due to the pandemic and being out of season, it was great. Our hotel in Kamari wasn’t expensive and we were surrounded by restaurants virtually begging for our custom. We hired a car twice for only 30 Euros and toured around. I think we had the best experience there fully acknowledging that in a normal year and during July and August, it would have been horrendous

Been to Santorini in 2021 and absolutely loved it. Yes, the crowds are intense but it's one of the most epic places I've ever seen. It is so popular for a good reason. IMO definitely worth it but I'd recommend save some extra money and stay in one of the cliffside hotels in Oia for a night or two instead of coming on a bus tour for a few hours.

[@GreeceExplained]

Correct ! Can be a cliffside hotel in Oia, OR in some other hidden places ! I explain all of those in my vid : kzbin.info/www/bejne/mailo2icodp-h5o

We have been to over 20 greek islands and Santorini is definitely overhyped! Having watched this video Christan has shown you the views, exactly as they are. The place is just overcrowded. Not so far away is Folegandros and that is stunning. For a longer break to the north is Naxos, which remains the best Greek Island in the Cyclades. The beaches are stunning, the main town is so romantic, the food is superb and the island is so diverse but quiet. So many international travellers go to the same islands due to the hype and the postcards. but the real treasures are the ones which are not so easy to get too! Greece has sunshine and hospitality on tap. Christian your travel guides are truly outstanding with the very best shots and production. Always a weekly highlight! Keep up the great job!

[@dfgk7857]

Well I disagree. Been too many Greek islands too and nothing beats the epicness of Oia. Crowds are crazy, yes, but it’s like Christian said- don’t go there unless you’re ready to spend top dollar and get one of the cliff-side hotels with a view. You can then avoid peak time when bus tours are coming and you can explore the town during less busy hours. I wouldn’t stay for more than 2-3 nights though. I stayed for 2 and it was enough to soak in all the stunning views.

Hype is relative. Is something unique worth the hype? It always depends. Best things in life will cost you but you can visit Santorini in May or October when crowds are smaller and prices are a lot better. There's always a way. Btw you stayed and ate at some of the most expensive places in Santorini, and yes these places may be more geared towards the international travelers but there are lots of cheaper ones if you wish to compromise..

Really glad I got my uber cheap package holiday to Santorini back in 2010 (with my bff before we left for uni!) so I wasn't getting elbowed in the face by instagrammers every five seconds 😅

[@Leftplayer1]

Conclusion: if you’ve got a couple million subs such that hotels will give you their best accommodation for free and you can bring a local along so you won’t get screwed in the restaurants, yes Santoroni is amazing. For the common mortal, the other Greek islands are better.

[@ben_angel]

Absolutely. I have no iinterest in the Greek islands he's visited. So many better other quiet ones

More stories about restaurants over charging tourists by hundreds of dollars ex. $500 for a plate of 8 oysters

[@ben_angel]

@@gregp7605 awful.

[@alx_gr1]

@@gregp7605 That sort of thing would only happen in Santorini and Mykonos. They are tourist traps but also pretty "exclusive" for the rich and famous. Us Greeks visit every other island but those two and enjoy our summers. Tourists might wanna start doing that too.

[@ehatipo4598]

@@alx_gr1 Yea it seems to be total ripoff. I stayed in Turkish riviera for 10 euros a day in a bungalow with famous beach views. Of course you can find 5 star hotels and pay like hundreds of dollars but these are for tourists who don't have any other means.

[@SebastianDylag]

Pro tip: Visit Greek Islands during the spring season or at least before peak summer ! We did that with Crete and there was much much less people than during the summer but the weather was already amazing (burning in the sun!) 😄

[@lostleblanc]

Honestly thats what I would recommend as well!

Also, Create is still under the radar…I was station there for 6months

@@discodan1592 I'm in the process of uploading videos from our trip to Crete 😄 We loved it there, looking forward to going again, and in all honesty... It exceeded our expectations sooo much ! 😄
