I was there in '94 (lived and worked in Athens for three years) ... Santorini was calm, beautiful... and cheap. You could walk the many stairs of Thera alone... I'm not sure if I would go today, at least not during the summer. It's wonderful to see the "other" rural parts of the island. Props to the photographers!

Santorini has a special place in my heart, I have been to Santorini 3 times, Sept 2009, Jan 2014 (cold & rain) and April 2016 all by ferry, and I still wish to visit again. Lately I started to expand my love to Crete & Rhodes, all 3 islands are just picture perfect. During summer months, you can easily hop from 1 island to another with the frequent ferries. In July 2019, I took the 90 min speed ferry from Fethiye, Turkey to Rhodes Island, it has a small custom terminal since it's consider an international arrival. Except during winter, on any given day, there will be wedding photo shoots at the most beautiful Oia, they took forever to shoot, so it can be annoying because everyone wants the same photo spots. Just like her, I tried to hike the trail from Fira, where all the cruise ships dock, to Oia. I only hiked 1/4 way, because I met a mother/daughter during my hike, they invited me to their rented Vila for tea, we then chatted over many drinks for 4 hours :) and end up in a cave bar further down.

How I wish I can visit Santorini before I die😍

[@NIKOLASINGLESSIS]

That laugh at the begining was the laughter of a Greek woman !!! I absolutely loved it !!!

[@imsunasong3912]

Exactly 😍 we should appreciate more our planet❤️

[@yannisstath]

Santorini is so magical - I couldn't believe my eyes when I went there

[@plonss]

I was astonished to see how quiet and rural Therasia stayed, and that just opposite one of the islands - Santorini - where tourism went too far ... The people of Therasia should be credited for protecting their island. Thank you for this beautiful documentary, you made me long for Greece.

[@daviddjerassi]

I loved every second of this visit thank you all for 22 minutes of Magic.

[@NomadShifu]

Santorini. My favorite island in Greece is Santorini.. Mykonos. The best nightlife and clubbing in Greece is found on Mykonos. Crete. The largest Greek island and rich with beaches, historical sights, hikes, and small cities.

[@dianarubiomiriell]

[@NIKOLASINGLESSIS]

Fava beans one of my favorite dishes !!! Some olive oil, lemon, pepper accompanied by some raw thiny sliced red onion on top and you can eat fava hot or cold !!! Some people like to accompany fava with capers or olives as well !! Usually along with fava beans a salty fish like lakerda or satdines or ancovies is recomended and ofcourse ouzo or white wine or retsina !!! Caution Ouzo is to be enjoyed slowly and always accompanied with fingerfood (meze) as an appetizer !!!Ouzo is not a vodka shot !!

[@giochinina100]

My dream place, i’ll go there

[@upstories]

[@marciolunagororoba6593]

Bela Grécia ..Belo seu povo

[@esishodily7793]

I’ve dreamed about this island since i was 18💟❤️I pray I make it there

[@emiliodakafkacroes4897]

Amazing 🐎

[@emanuelegorla9534]

I went to Santorini last couple of years, and walked all the island. Really, the two thirds of the island are unexplored. I've found nobody in the differents walking paths! P.S. Pay attention in september, I've found myself in a hunting field not far of Emporio!

[@stix8069]

The movie summer lovers 1982

[@stix8069]

The movie summer lovers 1982 really boosted the popularity of santorini

[@too.vogue.anyway]

love Greece :-)

[@Insahaj]

It's a great video, loved watching it! That dish esp...however it's made with Greek Fava which is yellow split peas and not Fava beans. Just wanted to point it out as it a 3,500 year old crop and lil nuances like this are important to pass on correctly to the audiences.

[@seanconnery1277]

Very good video,but time is not enough.Thank you.

[@ericaerich4467]

MY BIG BIGG DREAM VACATION.. HOW I WISH TO GO THERE..💖💖💖💖

[@TheDisturbedDemon]

Does anyone know where that sunset view is? I’d like to try and find it.

[@vhoy7899]

Can I live in this place ..I would work in your gardens... It's beautiful...

[@andrewjohnston9115]

Unbelievable, beautiful, tragic, archeological, geological, romantic, if you love someone take them to Santorini and if you really love them arrive by boat … and the wines not half bad either.

[@kleiohra6843]

The myth says that if you visit Santorini with your soulmate while you are in a relationship you will end up ether married or single .

[@redstar7292]

You never forget if you fall in love there the rest of your life. But I couldnt take anyone or get married there its my special place..

[@leeriding3746]

I go there every couple of weeks and i'm so proud that she didn't even mention the donkeys. It's time we ended the brutal abuse of donkeys everywhere in Greece. I hope it happens in my lifetime.

[@rj6017]

if your mom is greek you are not just that little bit greek

[@casonjimmy4776]

Pro tip: watch movies at Flixzone. Been using it for watching all kinds of movies recently.

[@maxtonaugustine3648]

@Cason Jimmy Definitely, I have been using Flixzone for since december myself :D

[@tomaselon8248]

@Cason Jimmy yea, I've been watching on Flixzone for years myself :)

[@sithlordhibiscus9936]

When anyone says “fava beans” I immediately think of Hannibal Lector. Lol😂 “ I ate his liver with a side of fava beans.”

[@StayTheFuckAwayFromMe]

Can u wildlife camp in Santorini ?

[@sellinmasoulforagarlicbrea591]

imagine a Assassin's Creed Game based on the island. One hell of a maze that would be

[@CaptainNavman]

we walked the remote areas and saw soooo many farms left to rot while their owners went into town thinking that they were automatically tourism experts

[@NikolasSerpanos]

[@spankyoulater]

4:41 , itchy hey?

[@somethingabout_travel]

Is everyone allowed to go to that sunset spot?

[@redstar7292]

Its beautiful because of its danger. The volcano beware! Do not over stay your welcome. Its a land of fire and sea. Its beauty lures you, then your life can explode.

[@maggotman2024]

All of the hardships that the majority of Greeks have endured over the past 15 years whitewashed! I suppose travel programs are intended as a diversion for most people around the world who live in less attractive and less prosperous places. While the wild fennel might be great, I had a two foot plant that turned out to be a wild lettuce weed! When it was dug up it smelled terribly of strong perhaps rotten lettuce. So much for fantasy travel! At least I do not have to live with the possibility of an earthquake, volcano, excessive heat and drought along with the out of control wild fires now a feature of the Greek summer!

[@clarkmadrosen1780]

The guide on the boat needs a 💇‍♂️.

[@gingermarie1760]

God loves you so much that He sent His Holy Son Jesus from heaven to earth, to be born of a virgin, to grow up and die on a cross for our sins, and to be put into a tomb 3 days and rise from the dead the third day, and He (Jesus) went back up to heaven. We must receive Sinless Jesus sincerely to be God's child(John 1:12).After we get saved by grace through faith in Christ, if we truly love the Lord Jesus Christ, then we will obey Jesus(John 14:15). Mark 1:15 "And saying, the time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: Repent ye, and believe the gospel." Jesus said in John 14:15 "If you love Me, keep My commandments. "There's a real hell. It says in Revelation 21:8 "But for the cowardly, and unbelieving, & abominable, and murderers, and immoral persons and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone..." Please sincerely receive Holy Jesus and put your true faith and trust in Him today and please repent.

[@zeiddouak9833]

May ALLAH forgives you... how could you enter to a church and speaking with a priest with a front open dress !!! Thank you very much for the work our lovely sister.

[@MattHirt]

May Allah forgive the males, for wanting to cover a woman’s body. Men need to find purity in their soul that woman are not objects of tainted desire that need to be covered, but a human just like you free to live the life that Allah gave her, the way she wants and pleases her. Women can and will dress the way they wish, no man is going to control us anymore. Stay in peace and find purity and less malicious desire In your soul!

[@laurencelance586]

A very pretty place but the air quality looks worse than LA.

[@Ptolemy336VV]

I checked the air quality on one map where 100 is extremely bad, and everything below 20 is good air quality and with 0 being perfect. Many of the areas in Greece have an air quality of 3-7. The islands of the Cyclades (one island group where Santorini is part of) has a number of 5. So it's very good. Los Angeles has 3 values: 52, 56 and 72. So those are not good values at all. So in other words. Santorini is not only very pretty. But also very clean. And of course it is very clean. You can think of 10 reasons yourself why that is. First of all. Check how exceptionally wonderful the environmental factors are. 80% mountains, 16.000 km of the most crystal clear coastlines, and except for the cities, where 60% of the population lives, Greece has a lot of untouched nature, and a lot of untouched coastline, a lot of untouched mountains, meaning a lot of untouched and exceptional scenery. And they have the best air quality for sure. Because what is there on these mountains, valleys, sea and so on. Nothing but wonderful scenery, clear, serene PS. There are 2 wonderful vlogger couples in Greece right now. - 1 couple from Germany who are on the Peloponnese who have like 8 wonderful videos who are called: "Lets get otter there" traveling 2 months or so. - The other couple are from Estonia who have like 20 videos of Greece traveling 3 months now. Called: "Wild Viking Travels" If you love absolutely spectacular sceneries and want to find out how serene many areas look like, then check these out.

[@worldcitizeng6507]

Comparing LA to this little island of Santorini? I have been to Santorini 3 times, Sept 2009, Jan 2014 and April 2016, I never see traffic jam or experience bad air quality. Everything sit on the cliff, the buses run once per hour, the most frustrating part for visitors, there are rental cars but never causing traffic jam. A lot of tourist rented the ATV, restaurants & supermarkets are all walking distance from hotels. Can you explain how was your bad air quality experience come from?

[@NIKOLASINGLESSIS]

Its like comparing LA downtown and Martha's vineyard !!!

[@aokiaoki4238]

It's sea steam from the volcano, that's what it creates the beautiful sunset. Super clean through.

[@Peterkonto]

Pathetic, comparing a Greek island in the Mediterranean to LA air quality shows how some people are so bloody stupid..

[@andyjames9451]

Overpriced dump of a place, stand by to be disappointed.

[@SpartanLeonidas1821]

Keep Crying !!!! 🤡🤣

[@jennifergalecia]

Julia is stunning and a beautiful soul. I want her job, how do I get a job like this? lol. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this. Currently researching inspiration for our honeymoon. 🤍
