I was in winter so a lot of renovation

5/5 - Excellent

Beautiful island and unbelievable views. Worth going now before it becomes too filled with tourists.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

Beautiful scenery and very quiet during the Winter season. You'll be able to enjoy this beauty without all the crowd.

5/5 - Excellent

Lovely city with incredible views

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveller

Well worth it's reputation but too many tourists make getting around quite hard. We couldn't get taxis unless pre-booked and the buses were over-crowded in a way I have never seen before. Santorini has become a victim of its own success.

5/5 - Excellent

Family

Santorini in particular Fira and Oia is great place to be. Really enjoyed the place.
