Frequently Asked Questions

What's the best time to visit Santorini?

April-June and September-October! The weather is warm (20-28°C) with fewer crowds than July-August. Avoid winter (November-March) as many businesses close.

Is it worth renting a car?

Yes, but an ATV is more fun! Cars are useful for families, but narrow village streets are easier to navigate with smaller vehicles. Rent from reputable companies (e.g., Easy Riders).

How much time do I need for Oia?

1 full day! Explore the village in the morning (before crowds), visit the castle, then find a sunset spot by 4 PM (peak season). Stay for dinner—Oia has great seafood.
