While I'm glad for the cash flow it brings, as a greek, I'll never understand the appeal of santorini. Not even good, forget amazing, beaches, overpriced and overcrowded, architecture type not limited to this island. I spent my summers from middle school to highschool sailing the ionian and agean, the price is just not justified. Want amazing sunsets? Corfu, Parga, Lefkada. Amazing beaches and water? Zakynthos, Paxos, Skiros, Milos. Rent your own boat for a day with 60usd and pick your own private beach. And with the price tag on one night here you can get 6 elsewhere with a sunset view and a pool bigger than 500sqft. I appreciate the content, though. If you want to visit Greece again my no 1 recommendation is Parga and surrounding areas

I'm currently researching/booking a trip to Greece for my wife's 40th. The cost is adding up fast and I've been diving into the youtubes to find some tips and tricks. After discovering ya'll, I'm looking no further. Your advice on Perissa saved me $100's on Santorini alone...booked our nights in Santorini/Perissa after watching this video AND I loved how you showed me/us how to get around on the moped through your scene showing moto manos!! We are already looking forward to a moped ride to watch the sunset at the lighthouse. Can't thank ya'll enough---great job....have fun wherever ya'll are currently at! -- much love from the Lone Star State.

Hello there .
New subscriber here !!!
I love the way you guys give different options to your viewers . Really cool . Greece is for sure a country I would like to visit and I have been doing some research about it on the internet . I have read that you cannot flush toilet paper down the toilets . Is there any truth to that ? What was the experience for you guys ? I really want to know as I am a little bit freaked out about that part 😬

[nikoexplores]

Oh my gosh. 85, 000 Marriott points? I think I would cry.

[Cozzera]

The super nice hotel is where Fred Flintstone and Wilma would stay. He is actually quite rich!

Hi! When did you go to Santorini in this video? Will it be too hot to explore at the beginning of September (Around the 5th of the month)? We are looking to do more sightseeing versus swimming when we go to Santorini, so we don't want it to be too hot/humid.

We are doing AIRBNB for our 10night greece trip…hotel options are too small compared to airbnb

Which scooter rental company did you guys use?

Travel tip: when you buy cheap wine that doesn’t taste that great, mix it with 7up or Sprite and make it a spritzer! :) I died laughing watching you taste that rosé. LOL you guys are great!

As a Greek, I was sitting at the edge of my seat until @11:40. It is crazy hearing some tourists call Greece expensive and when you ask them where in Greece they've been it's usually along the lines of a 5-star-StealTouristMoney Hotel in Santorini or Mykonos. The reality is you can live big in Greece on just 10-30% of the average budget tourists spend here. All you have to do is either a very basic research on where you want to go and why, or ask someone Greek for advice. Most Greek people can't tolerate staying in Santorini for more than a few days (as a once in a lifetime experience, or once every 10 years), and never in their lifetime even approach Mykonos. There is a good reason for that.

This is the first time I’ve come across one of your videos and I’m not even half way through it and already appreciate your very candid review. I love that you aren’t trash talking the location, but simply offering alternative options for comparison. I’m happily now a subscriber and cannot wait to dive in and watch all of your videos!! Santorini or the Greek Islands in general is on my list… so perfect timing!! Thank you

As someone who lived in Santorini for many years, and owner of a luxury travel management company who deals with the top hotels and villas on the Greek islands, I can say that most tourists wants to stay at the well-known hotels that they see on social media, which are almost always costly. However, my tips for new visitors is just to look for villas which offers amazing views and are situated in incredible locations around the islands...there is everything to suit everyones price range. And i would highly recommend booking 2 or 3 different villas or hotels in different locations for the duration of your stay, as you get to experience more variety of the islands - there are always something new to explore and experience without having to be trampled on at the touristy spots during peak season.

I can’t watch this I just hopped on to say donkeys build this place hauling every cement bag every brick on their backs
And they have to carry every person with cases and baggage up the hills they sometimes get whipped if they don’t move for whatever reason
Life is miserable and not worth living for them so please stay away and go elsewhere for your holiday . Save lives of donkey .
Donkeys lives matter

Look at the bright side ; you got a free mint after spending $10k on the hotel

As Greek and working in customer service in Santorini i would have to say some useful tips, if someone is on budget.
1. Stay no longer than 3-4 days.
2. Take a bus from the crowded central station in fyra, ticket costs 1, 60 one way to imerovigli oia kamari perisa.
2 euros to port or from, ( be careful, coins only) and the ticket collectors are shouting for the departing bus so pay attention to them.
3. Santorini has a great connection with ferrys
Take a ferry to either Mylos Crete Naxos from Naxos another one to koufonisia donousa skinousa ( for unique Beaches) or to folegandros( great chora), ios ( party island and also for relaxation)etc ( those islands are in Cyclades ) Greece generally has numerous of habitat or inhabit island s each of them has its ID.
4. Shop from big supermarket chains as like sklavenitis.in fyra .
5. Walk from fyra to imerovigli through fyrostefani, 30 min . From oia to imerovigli walk is about 3 hours. ( Try this route)
Yaghting is up to you, ideal is to go as a group and to book a cruise either from pireaus, Santorini, leros, crete etc or wherever in Greece compare prices make burgains and plan a 20+ day's for experience in most of the islands .
6. Santorini is truly worth visiting once, its a Instagramic island, but you have to know that it doesn't represent local genuine hospitality, smaller and less habitat islands ( touristic) have a sence to it.
Greece is an amazing country but due to luck of knowledge people find themselves trapped into the same destinations, Santorini, Mykonos, mylos, crete, Rhodes, zante, Corfu, chalkidiki, kos, paros.
And don't even know islands as like,
Koufonisia, paxi, antipaxi, symi, leros, karpathos, anafi, amorgos, astypalaia, nisyros, alonisos, skiathos, and so on .
If youre coming to Santorini is a great experience, but try to visit more gems less touristic.

This is really neat to see the comparison of the price points. Totally going with the amazing budget versions and free sunset spots!
