Taxis on the island are limited and cost a small fortune. Schedule your hotel transfer to and from the airport/ port beforehand.

There is a lot to explore in Santorini, renting a mode of transportation is cost-effective and fun! Our hotel highly-suggested for us to rent a car instead of a ATV for safety, and I definitely agree! Though ATVs are fun, cars provide air conditioning and safety from the elements/ other drivers.

It is best to visit this beautiful island between late March to early June, and early September to late October. It allows one to enjoy the beautiful Greek weather without the ever-growing crowds flocking to Greece for their summer holiday.

Keep in mind, if you choose to visit outside of high-season, a lot of restaurants and hotels are closed between November and (possibly until) April.

Unfortunately Santorini is definitely for lovers, girlfriends, and/ or exploring by yourself or with friends.

A lot of hotels have a minimum age requirement to stay. And within good reason, the steep steps and uneven streets of Santorini are not exactly child-friendly.

Light and loose clothing!

It is HOT. Fun dresses and casual button-up, collared shirts for men. Also please be friendly to your feet and bring flat/ comfortable shoes.
