Santorini | Taking the Bus
If you don't have your own car on Santorini, the cheapest and most reliable way of getting around is by bus. The familiar green and cream intercity buses are a regular fixture of the Greek countryside, and on the islands they serve a vital function.
The main bus station at Santorini is at Fira, from where there are regular services to the port, airport, Ia and the main villages, with convenient bus stops on the way.
Buses are always on hand to take on disembarking ship passengers, and several times a day they can be seen climbing laboriously up the hairpin bends from the port to the top of the cliff and the outskirts of Fira.

Santorini, Greece
Fira (Thira)
Best places to stay in Santorini are Fira, Firostefani, Imerovigli and Oia. But Fira is the capital of Santorini. It clings to the top of the cliff (on the edge of the Caldera) just like Oia, Imerovigli and Firostefani and has the most magnificent view of the volcano. To save you a lot of travelling time and cheaper hotel accomodations, Fira is the best of all. The central bus station is in Fira and is accessible to many destination in Santorini . The bus fare ranges from 1.80€ to 2.40€. You can ask a copy of the bus time table from your hotel. Every bus will have a sign of the destination (attractions) such as Kamari beach (Black beach), Perissa Beach (black beach), Red Beach and Akrotiri (Excavation archaeological site), Oia, etc and bring you to the doorstep of the destination (The buses are coaches and are very comfortable with air conditioning ). Fira has the most shoppings and restaurants and is very convenient to go anywhere in Santorini. Though Fira is buzzling from morning to night, traffic there is also chaotic. Be very careful when crossing the road. There are not many pedestrian pathway.
Donkey rides. I personally don’t encourage these rides as the donkeys have to ferry tourist up and down the cliff (about 587 steps). Weather is extremely scorching and I can see the donkeys were exhausted doing this all day long.
Walking down the cliff is fine but walking up is merely impossible and what more about the donkeys ferrying tourist up and down. Take the cable car. Cable car is only €6.00 per person per trip.
Kamari and Perissa Beach (Black Beach)
Kamari and Perissa beach are located on the easten side of the island with shops, restaurants and hotels. Kamari and Perissa are just separated by a hugh mountain of rock. The beaches are so beautiful with lots of nice hotels located directly infront of the beach. The water is deep blue and the sand is black and is magnificent. The water is so clear that you can see the bottom of the floor (volcano pebbles). Swimming here is great. If you are a beach person and love the peaceful surroundings, these places will be suitable for you to stay. At the far end of the beach, you can find watersports there. Tips: Beach umbrella is free when you buy a drink from the restaurant in Kamari.
Red Beach
Red beach is just next to the excavation archaeological site. This beach is well known of its unique colour of the rocks in red. It is one of the most famous and beautiful beaches of Santorini. In order to make your way to the beach, be prepare to climb over the rocks with a narrow path. There are no shops or maybe one restaurant high up the cliff on this beach. Its worth visiting this beach but be careful of falling rocks.
Akrotiri Excavations Archaelogical Site
Akrotiri Excavations is situated next to the red beach.
Volcano and hot spring tour Excursion
A must see place. Tips: Get good shoes and no slipper, plenty of water and a paper fan. Temperature there is scorching. Be prepared to climb but the view there is spectacular. After that the boat will bring you to the hot spring. If you can swim and have no medical problem, it is a good experience.
White Beach
We took a boat taxi to this white beach from the red beach. If you are in white beach, the only transport back is by boat taxi because there are no buses or hotels at the white beach. There is only one restaurant at the beach. There are no facilities. Still the boat ride was nice and the beach is beautiful.
Oia (Famous sun set)
From Fira to Oia, it takes about 30 minutes. The bus will bring you right to the square of Oia. Walk a few hundred meters up the castle, you can see the sun set. The best spot to watch the famous sun set. Oia has plenty of shops, restaurants and hotels with a magnificent view. You may want to visit Oia in the afternoon, relax and shop around and dine and watch the sun set. It’s a beautiful village that perched high up on the edge of the Caldera with a breathtaking view of the volcano and the whitewashed cliff top towns with that stunning blue roofs
Best Greek Restaurant in Fira : Parea Tavern. Best grilled chicken and pita ever had.
Lastly, you can also rent a quad bikes or cars to explore the island. There are many rental shops of quads/cars in Santorini. Driving in Santorini is really crazy, traffic is chaotic and the roads are very narrow, not mentioning the steep roads. Well, Santorini is a beautiful and romantic place that is unforgetable with that magnificent view and we love it all. Sitting and relaxing in the bar or restaurant having a martini at the high cliff of the Caldera overlooking the volcano and the deep blue waters and watching the sun set is a great experience for us.
We hope you enjoy the video and tips above.

Santorini | Kamari Βeach
Santorini Kamari beach lies just north of Mount Prophitis Ilias, the highest point of Santorini, and beneath the approach to the island's airport. It is fairly easy to get to Kamari beach, you can take the bus from Fira, the main town of Santorini, or hire one of the many quad bikes available for rent. The trip takes about 20 minutes.
Kamari Beach is popular because it's big, with plenty of soft, grey volcanic sand to stretch out on. Volcanic sand doesn't stick to your wet body as ordinary sand does. But on the other hand, it gets hot under the sun much more quickly, so you can get the tank faster.

Kamari, Santorini, Greece @ Antinea Hotel - View of Kamari beach #TeamtanxTravels
Santorini is the an island of a complex of islands called Cyclades. It is a small, circular group of volcanic islands located in the Aegean Sea, about 200 km south-east from the mainland of Greece. Santorini is also known by the name of the largest island in the archipelago, Thira or Thera. It is the southernmost member of the Cyclades group of islands, with an area of approximately 73 km2 (28 sq mi), and in 2001 had an estimated population of 13,600. The inhabitants are citizens of Greece and speak Greek.
It is the most active volcanic centre in the Aegean Arc, though what remains today is largely a caldera. The name Santorini was given to it by the Venetians in the 13th century and is a reference to Saint Irene. Before then it was called Kallisti, Strongili.
The devastating volcanic eruption of Thira has become the most famous single event in the Aegean before the fall of Troy. The eruption would have caused a significant climate upset for the eastern Mediterranean region. It was one of the biggest volcanic eruptions on Earth in the last few thousand years.

About the video : This is one of the raw files from our DJI mavic pro with minimal edits (pardon our pro video editor friends, we are so jeje LOL) At 2:30 you will spot the Aegean Air flying same altitude as the drone and same time that Noah Tan panicked and missed to manoeuvre as planned LOL. But this video is golden, I have to share. We have tons of sunset and sunrise videos recorded from the balcony of the Royal Suite situated in the shadow of Ancient Thira, at a peaceful location on the hillside, offering a magnificent panoramic view of Kamari and the Aegean sea.
Greece left an open space in our hearts that we wish we can visit again and witness how the country survived the crisis.
