Good to know

•Tap water in Santorini is not potable. Make sure you always have bottles of water with you and in your room.

•Drive carefully. Roads in Santorini -especially during summer months- are highly busy. Special caution to ATVs (all terrain-vehicles) that overflow the island roads. 

•When visiting Fira, Oia and sights, prefer to park in the designated parking areas. 

•Santorini has high humidity. When going out at night, it would be wise to take something warm with you.

•Comfortable closed shoes are essential for those hiking along the trails of the island. 

•Fira is overcrowded –particularly upon the arrival of cruisers. The same goes for Oia at sunset time.

•Book your air and sea tickets early enough, so as to find available seats and get the cheapest prices.
