Should YOU Visit Santorini, Greece - Watch Before You Visit!

Показать описание

Santorini seems to be on everyone's bucket list BUT is it worth the hype?
Santorini is one of the Cyclades islands in the Aegean Sea. It was devastated by a volcanic eruption in the 16th century BC, forever shaping its rugged landscape. The whitewashed, cubiform houses of its 2 principal towns, Fira and Oia, cling to cliffs above an underwater caldera (crater). They overlook the sea, small islands to the west and has beaches made up of black, red and white lava pebbles

Glad you stood up for the donkeys :) I think when you visit places you should definitely mention how the animals are treated x

Just that queue for the cable car is enough to put me off for life

Love Santorini, been three times. Always stayed at Kamari beach. Loads of walking and great food. Buses are great. never seen the need to hire a car. Fira is OK very very short doses, due to the crowds. The sheer beauty of the island has to be seen to be believed. The walk from Oia to Fira is a must. Of course you also have the fantastic beer brewed on the island.

Another great video Tim. It absolutely breaks my heart seeing those awful steep steps that the poor donkeys have to go up and down, just awful!

I've been there three times in my life, in the early and late 90s and 10 years later. Unforgettable panoramic view, my dream destination...

I’m so thankful for my Aunt choosing a destination wedding in Santorini. I’ve been to five countries and Greece is by far my favorite. While a lot of my love for the trip was due to the wedding being amazing and having an incredible hotel but the island is still so incredible and stunning. Anyone thinking of going be prepared for lots of stairs and very similar stores. Santorini is almost entirely restaurants, tourist clothes stores (mostly being Santorini or evil eye shirts) and jewelry. I stayed at the Athina suits in Fira and I would suggest if you stay in Thira to most definitely visit Oia. The beaches are nice but for all the Americans they are not like our beaches. The beaches in Kamari are either all rocks or a black sand like beach. The sand is rockier but easier to clean off. An incredible island for sure and a must see in everyone’s lifetime

Tim, l seldom now google 'normal' tv stations to watch, since finding your videos for the first time the other day. l have been turning onto You Tube and watching your extremely entertaining and informative videos. I can't just watch 1 or 2 though, l've been watching 6 or 7 straight back to back ! Just great and nice you sometimes bring your wife and son (and mother-inlaw).

Great video. I went to Santorini for a couplre of weeks in 1982. No airport then so boat from Athens. No cable cars either so donkey up the cliff side. Hence no cruise ship business. It was cheap as chips. A meal for two was about 6 or 7 quid. The Black Beach ( Parissa ) was a nude beach back then. Tourist were also allowed to visit the excavations at Akrotiri. Spent my 28th birthday at a place called The Moon Bar in Thira with my then girlfriend dancing to The Rolling Stones with some crazy U.S students and drunk Scottish rugby players. Your video brought back some happy memories but I wouldn't go back. Couldn't afford it!

I'm lucky to have been to Santorini five times but it was a few years ago, before prices got crazy expensive. I've stayed in Fira and Kamari and once visited on a cruise. My son got married at the Santos winery and then we had a meal booked in Fira at a beautiful restaurant facing the caldera where we had a great view of the sunset. We've always hired a car and I've seen most of the island including all those little tucked away villages. I absolutely love Santorini, my favourite place on earth.

Pretty place. My colleagues married there and I think it might have been at that wedding venue by the looks of the pics. Thanks for bringing this experience to our screens. Such a great presentation as always

15:05 Thanks for saying this I completely agree with what you said about the donkeys, for the same reason I avoid those horse drawn carriages. Really opened my eyes after a trip to elephant sanctuary in Thailand, can't believe I never thought about those things before 💔

I got the best views from the rail of a ship. No crowd, no stress, no worries and a drink in my hand at all times. Really appreciate Tim’s hard work though. 😊

I randomly came across your videos and I really enjoy them. I have subscribed 👍. Well done for not using the donkeys for your luggage and that goes for anyone else. Carry your own.
Safe travelling, Gail Czech Republic ❤️

Never, ever use the donkeys, either for riding or for luggage carriage. In many parts of the world Donkeys have always been used for the transportation of people and goods and many are cruelly overworked, often in poor conditions like extremely hot weather. A lot of the time it is not even through necessity but just to keep tourists happy. The Santorini Donkeys are no different.

Love the place, came across on Royal Caribbean cruise, ship. Amazing view's, friendly people, !! Terrific cable cars, well worth a visit, tobthis jewel of the Mediterranean.

Great video Tim. It brought back some nice memories. Visited there twice in late 80’s. One of the most beautiful places I have been. Stayed at Thira and at Perrissa (black beach). Got engaged to be married there. Not so crowded then. No cruise ships! Very cheap to stay there then. Probably wouldn’t go back now as it is too overcrowded

Tim you should have gone to the akrotiri archeological site. Its amazing. Its the cycladic pompei but even more fascinating as it was the bronze age town believed to inspire altantis.

Teaching us history, never knew where Atlantis used to be and seeing where the volcano had been you can see it is very plausible to have been there as nothing would remain after. The amount of videos you did over there, you have been a very busy boy! Always entertaining.
