Hur vi slutade kostar natten på en tom clifftop taxistativ i Santorini på vintern är en lång historia.
Men historiens moral är denna: Vi borde ha undersökt mer och organiserat denna resa bättre. Vi borde ha förstått att Santorini under lågsäsong är lika vilande som dess vulkan, liksom att Oia -byn nästan är tom, men inte lika tom som mottagningskontoret på hotellet där vi skulle bo. Men ja, vi slutade med att sova på en taxistativ mitt i vinden i vinden i kallt, kyligt december.
Och ändå, trots att vi startade vår tillflyktsort på en dålig anmärkning, visade det sig fortfarande vara en av våra mest underbara resor någonsin.

Förstå Santorini
Utanför kusten på det grekiska fastlandet är en 220-delad skärgård som kallas Cyclades och peppar Egeiska havet. På den sydligaste kanten är Santorini Island, borta med några mindre öar. Denna mindre grupp öar använde för att vara en enda vulkan som utbröt kataklysmiskt i 3600 bp, vilket producerar en betydande caldera som huvudsakligen är nedsänkt. Idag kallas den största av de resulterande fragmentöarna Santorini.
Även om världen, inklusive grekerna, telefonen kallar ön Santorini, är dess officiella namn Thira. “Santorini” är det latinska namnet som venetianerna tilldelar när de hanterade ön efter den fjärde korstågen. Santorinis finansiering såväl som största stad heter Fira, som är härstammad från öns grekiska namn Thira.
Santorini är en av de mest framträdande turistmålen i Grekland och i Europa, särskilt bland par. Det är finaste förstått för sina ikoniska vitkalkade hem såväl som blåkukta kapell som ligger på klippsidan, med utsikt över den legendariska Caldera såväl som dess världsberömda solnedgång.
Här är fler bitar du bör förstå om ön.
Språk: grekisk. Men engelska talas ofta. Gatindikationer är skrivna både på grekiska och engelska, så att gå runt är inte alls ett problem.
Valuta: Euro (EUR, €). € 1 = 1,14 USD, SGD 1.6, PHP 61 (från och med oktober 2018)
Betalningssätt: Pengar är fortfarande de vanligaste, men kredithistoriska kortbetalningar accepteras ofta också.
Elinfo: 230 V, 50 Hz. Kraftuttag är typ F, som likaså accepterar typ C -pluggar.
Bästa tiden att se Santorini
April till oktober. Denna period ser soliga himmel såväl som i allmänhet trevligt väder.
I synnerhet är sommarmånaderna juni till september de torraste och hetaste, vilket är utmärkt för att jaga stranden. Det är emellertid också högsäsongen, så förvänta dig att ön kommer att överbelastas såväl som kostnaderna för att gå högre.
Om du vill förhindra publiken såväl som ön för dig själv (och några andra), resa mellan mitten av november och mars, Santorinis lågsäsong. Detta är när kostnaderna för flyg och hotell går drastiskt. Jag förstår eftersom det här är exakt exakt hur jag kunde se Santorini: prisvärda flygbiljetter och rum. Men det finns en fångst.
Under lågsäsong verkar Santorini gå in i viloläge. Ja, det finns färre turister men det finns också färre anläggningar öppna såväl som transportval tillgängliga. I OIA under vårt besök fanns det bara tre restauranger som var öppna. Fira var mycket mer levande, men fortfarande inte när det gäller livet som du troligtvis skulle föreställa dig. På sommaren finns det massor av bussar mellan flygterminalen såväl som Fira, liksom mellan Oia och Fira. Men på vintern minskar antalet resor varje dag som du kan behöva bara ta en hytt om du har bråttom, vilket kan pressa utgifterna föryour trip higher. So you have to plan your trip truly well.
The finest time to see then depends upon WHY you want to travel to Santorini. If you’re after beach activities or perhaps partying, April-October is your finest bet. however if you just want some peace of mind or have a quiet, charming time with someone, winter isn’t poor at all.
Where to stay in Santorini
Santorini is house to a number of neighborhoods spread around the island. the very best location to stay depends upon your travel style. Basically, the very first thing you should ask yourself is whether you want to stay on the beach or atop the cliff. If you prefer the beach, discover a location in Kamari or Perissa.
But most tourists see Santorini for that gorgeous view of the caldera as well as the sunset. In this case, pick a village that is perched on the island’s cliffs. You have four excellent options: Fira, Oia, Imerovigli, as well as Firostefani.
Fira. The funding as well as primary town of the island. This is where most the action happens. great deals of lodging choices as well as tour agencies. lots of cafes, bars, as well as restaurants around. Nightlife is vibrant too. almost all bus routes in the island begin as well as end at the primary terminal in Fira, which means every part of the island is accessible from here. If you’re a backpacker or budget plan traveler, stay in Fira.
Firostefani. located north of Fira. just like in Fira, the views right here are majestic. It likewise has the exact same vibe, with a great deal of accommodations as well as restaurants. The difference is, it’s less crowded.
Imerovigli. Farther north from Firostefani. developed on the tallest part of the caldera ridge at 300masl, this village is commonly dubbed the “Balcony of the Aegean.” little hotels as well as restaurants abound too. It’s less congested as well as less hectic than Fira, however less costly than Oia.
Oia. The poster village of the island. The pictures in most Santorini postcards you see are shot right here in Oia. Lying in the caldera edge of the island’s northernmost tip, it likewise offers a marvelous view of the caldera as well as the sunset. It is a top attraction so expect it to be heavily congested with hordes of tourists during the day in peak season. At night, though, it is quite peaceful since most visitors are right here on a day tour as well as are staying in Fira. In winter, most hotels as well as restaurants are closed, so it gets even quieter. The catch is, it has the most costly accommodations. One thing I like about Oia is that it’s extremely romantic. If you’re on a honeymoon or charming trip, stay in Oia.

Viktiga påminnelser
Cliffside hotels or suites are not for everyone. The hotels as well as points of rate of interest are linked by staircases that wind across the side of the cliff. If you select a location far down, you’re going to have to climb back up every time you want to go elsewhere. since the sights are spectacular, you most likely won’t mind. however I can envision exactly how difficult it must be if you’re traveling with seniors, young kids, or PWDs.
Another thing you have to comprehend is that not all “hotels” have their spaces are housed in the exact same building. For example, in some cliffside villages like Oia, accommodations are in the type of a network of suites as well as villas rented out to tourists however marketed as one hotel. In this case, Google Maps is useless since sometimes spaces don’t stand next to every other, even numerous meters apart. Upon arrival, one should very first decrease by their reception office in a separate place to inspect in, as well as a personnel member will take you to your room. If you avoid the office stop, you’re not gonna understand where precisely your space is located. They can likewise assist you bring your luggage since bring heavy suitcases while winding up as well as down the cliff is no joke. trust me, I know.
It’s something that I discovered the difficult way. Remember, we shown up in Oia in the evening, off peak season. since we didn’t understand this whole check-in shebang, we just complied with Google Maps. however again, it doesn’t work right here since the spaces are spread apart. We realized that we must inspect inat a separate place when we were already so far down. So we had to climb back up once again bring our heavy bags only to discover the reception office closed. Apparently, the personnel didn’t see our message that we would be arriving at night. We tried calling the emergency numbers to no avail, so we ended up costs the cold, windy night at a taxi stand. It was hilarious. definitely one for the books. We were only able to inspect in the next morning.
There are lessons to be discovered here:
Choose the place of your hotel wisely.
Let the hotel personnel understand what time you’re showing up (which we did) as well as be sure to get a reply or confirmation (which we didn’t).
Be familiar with the check-in process of your hotel before your trip so you understand what to do when you arrive.

However, the issue with the buses in Santorini is that times are tentative. The timetable for summertime is different from winter, so you always have to inspect for the updated schedule. Yes, there is a routine however it’s commonly not followed. Not to mention the waiting time.
In peak season, there are as well many tourists so prepare to wait in line. In off season, there are as well few buses so you may still be in for a long wait. The buses likewise don’t operate past 8pm. (Not sure if the last bus leaves earlier in winter.)

Med taxi
Because we shown up in Santorini in the evening, there were no more buses, forcing us to just take the cab. The excellent thing about the taxi is that you can discover one even if you show up at night. You’ll discover them just outside the Arrival Hall.
Before you get into the cab, come to an contract with the driver regarding the fare. right here are the usual rates:
To Fira: €30 to €35
To Oia: €40 to €45
Av välkomna pickups taxi
Because the number of taxi units in the island is limited, if you’re visiting in peak season or showing up late at night, you may want to pre-arrange a pick up service.
One thing you may want to think about is welcome Pickups. I haven’t tried this in Santorini, however I have in Athens as well as I absolutely enjoyed it. had I understood then that they have operations in Santorini, I would have booked them.
Welcome Pickups is much like Uber, only a gazillion times better. At €35, the fare is the exact same as the routine taxi’s, however the service is fantastic. A driver will be choosing you up at the Arrival Hall, escort you to his taxi, provide you bottled water as well as brochures, as well as provide important tips on the road. If you’re a couple on a honeymoon or celebrating something, this is perfect since you’ll be pampered!
Here’s a quick comparison of the transportation services in the island.
