What to do in Santorini
- Stroll through the village of Oia
The traditional village of Oia is the most photogenic spot in Greece and on the Greek islands. It is a place packed with cube-shaped houses, stone terraces, windmills, blue domes and other remarkable sights.
- Visit the small harbour of Ammoudi
Among the famous villages, just below the hill of Oia lies a small fishing harbour called Ammoudi. Despite its size, it welcomes visitors with taverns where you can enjoy delicious fresh fish and seafood.
While walking along the shore, a 10-minute stroll takes you to the islet of Agios Nikolaos, where you will come across plenty of people swimming in the sea. These spots are also considered some of the most beautiful and peaceful places to watch the sunset.
- Enjoy art and wine at the Art Space Gallery
A love of art and a love of wine blend perfectly here, and every visitor truly enjoys this unique winery and gallery located in Exo Gonia. While tasting the wines of the Art Space Gallery you can also admire contemporary paintings and sculptures. The building was constructed in 1861 and is a fine example of the island’s traditional cave architecture.
- Take in the views from the lighthouse
The lighthouse was built by a French company in 1892 and is one of the oldest in Greece. It is considered a romantic spot at sunrise and sunset and, of course, one of the best places for a photo session.
Unfortunately it is not possible to go inside the lighthouse, but the views are definitely worth the trip. The area lies away from the busiest tourist spots and stands out for its calm, pleasant atmosphere.
Santorini airport and getting around the island
Santorini National Airport (code JTR) is located next to the village of Kamari, about 6 kilometres from Fira, the island’s main town. The airport is small and gets very busy at the height of summer, so it is worth arriving early for check-in on your departure day.
You can get from the airport to Fira by local bus, by taxi or with a hotel transfer. The bus ride takes around 20 minutes, although in high season seats fill up quickly.
An alternative route: fly to Athens and continue by ferry
If tickets on the Athens – Santorini leg are expensive or sold out, which happens often in July and August, you can fly from Tbilisi only as far as Athens and continue to the island by ferry. Ferries depart from the port of Piraeus:
- High-speed ferry – approximately 5 hours;
- Conventional ferry – approximately 8 hours.
In summer the crossings are daily and frequent, while in winter the schedule thins out and departures can be cancelled in strong winds. In high season the ferry ticket should also be booked in advance.
Other connection options
During the summer season Santorini is linked by seasonal direct flights to a number of European cities, among them Istanbul, Vienna, Munich, Warsaw and Rome. This means that building a route from Tbilisi is not limited to Athens alone. In winter most of these services stop and Athens remains the main and most reliable connecting point.
When is the best time to travel?
- July and August – the hottest, busiest and most expensive period.
- May to June and September to October – pleasant weather, fewer tourists and more affordable prices. This period offers the best balance of all.
- November to March – air tickets and hotels are at their cheapest, but many hotels and restaurants are closed and flights are far less frequent.
Useful information when planning your trip
- Visa: Georgian citizens holding a biometric passport do not need a Schengen visa to enter Greece – they may stay for up to 90 days within any 180-day period. The passport should be valid for at least 3 months beyond the planned date of departure.
- Currency: Greece uses the euro. Cards are accepted almost everywhere, but cash still comes in handy in small taverns and on the beaches.
- Time difference: Greece is 1 hour behind Georgia in summer and 2 hours behind in winter.
- Baggage: the cheapest Aegean Airlines fares often do not include checked baggage. Always check the baggage rules of the fare you have chosen before buying your ticket.
- Connections: if you book both legs on a single ticket, your baggage is checked through to Santorini and, if a flight is delayed, the airline rebooks you on the next available service. With separately purchased tickets that responsibility stays with the passenger, so in that case it is wiser to leave more time between the flights.
