[@emmashervington1667]

We always stay in Perissa, nice beach, heaps of good restaurants and bars, and easy access for trips to Thira and other villages by local bus.. would never stay in Thira! Also to note - do NOT use the donkeys in Thira and Oia, they are treated badly - use your legs 🙂

[@CORRTravel]

Thank you for your recommendation on Perissa. My recommendation on Thira was that it offers so many bonuses for first time travel, especially on a short stay. If you want a quieter experience, just stay further away from the Thira center, as I mentioned in the video. Yes, NEVER use any animals for tourism efforts. They are cruelty to animals. I also state this on my website: www.corrtravel.com. I am so appreciative you feel the same!

[@verawhite1586]

Do you recommend a place to stay in Perissa?

[@CORRTravel]

@@verawhite1586 If I were to stay there, I would lean towards Meltemi Village Hotel: booking.tp.st/Vude2S21 It's highly rated, close to the beach, has amazing amenities and the price is very reasonable. It looks like it's always in demand. Maybe @emmashervington1667 also has a recommendation?

[@kashmirapatel3393]

Thank you for the video! It’s very helpful. Where can I find 3 days or 5 days itineraries?

[@CORRTravel]

Glad you liked it and found it helpful! The link to the 3 (or 4) day itinerary is in the video description but am providing it here: www.corrtravel.com/santorini-3-day-itinerary/ I am working on downloadable PDF itineraries that will be available soon and the video description will be updated with those links. I am sorry, but I don't have a 5-day itinerary available at this time.

NOW ARRIVING AT ILIOS

[@CORRTravel]

Great!

[@bintoucoulibaly3843]

Do you suggest renting a car or ATV if you are just visiting for 10hrs on a cruise?

[@CORRTravel]

Oh how I would rent a compact car over an ATV, any day of the week and twice on Sunday, let me count the ways... Cars are MUCH safer (and handle curves better, too), you don't have to wear a helmet, are cooler (have A/C), you're protected from the elements (you won't get sunburned or whipped by the wind as it does get windy on the island), you have a better chance to secure your belongings, you can hook up your phone to a lighter or USB port for charging, some come with Google maps, they have cup holders, they can be reserved at the same price or less than an ATV (for example: santorini-rentme.com/), and they are MUCH, MUCH quieter. Personally, I think the ATV's and Quads are obnoxiously loud. Go with the smallest rental car available and reserve WAY in advance. Just make sure you know how to drive a manual, just in case they don't have automatics, bring your driver's license, and ask about insurance. Have fun!

[@waynebriggs8735]

You do realise there is more to Santorini than Fira and Oia,Kamari and Perissa are fantastic places

[@CORRTravel]

Yes, of course! As the video states, there's fantastic wine tasting, hiking, boating excursions, food tours, historic sites and MORE - all beyond the main villages. Unfortunately, Santorini is not known for its beaches as compared to other Greek destinations, but they are still on the list of things to do for sure.

[@Antoinette617]

This is one place I wouldn’t travel to. Solo. It’s honeymoon worthy

[@CORRTravel]

Oh, that's a shame. Santorini is a lovely destination for ANY traveler. I hope you reconsider.

[@mia-nl9pd]

oia is the main tourist adea

[@CORRTravel]

Yes, it's very popular.
