Greece Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Santorini Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Santorini trip
RMB1W is enough for you to enjoy the Greek mythology Santorini
I believe the Aegean Santorini in Greek mythology is a travel goal that everyone wants to go to.
Airfare and accommodation: My airfare is round trip from Ireland for €370
As for the hotel, I chose the oia area, I stayed at the elea resort, it takes about 15 minutes to walk from the hotel to oia village, it is located in a relatively remote area at the foot of the mountain, I am a person who can walk 😆 unless you rent a car or electric bike will be more convenient, stay for one night €208
The reason for choosing to stay in Ia is that the famous windmills, blue churches, beautiful scenery, and the most romantic sunsets are all in oia
As for Santorini's capital is called fira✌️
There are also many cheap resorts or b&b €20 to €80, there is no need to stay in such an expensive hotel (it is recommended to get up early to run in the mountains of oia😂 The second reason is that there are not so many people in the morning)
Transportation: I arrived at the Santorini airport at 8 o'clock in the morning and there was already a bus🚌 to pick up tourists to the city (fira), the journey is about 15-20 minutes, there is a bus every half an hour, the bus is €1.80
Black sand beach perissa. Red sand beach red beach and white sand beach, all have buses to reach the destination, the highest consumption is only €2.40
Transportation is actually quite convenient. Except for these two areas, transportation in other areas is relatively inconvenient, so when booking a hotel, you really have to choose well, don't be fooled by beautiful photos to go to remote places with inconvenient transportation😆 If you want to know more about the accurate time of the bus, you can refer to it.
Activity: Don't ask me or doubt who I am going with, I really am☝️ A person came to this place that is completely for couples & super romantic.
As for living in oia, I want to go to fira town, and finally I still take the bus from oia to fira €1.80 It's about a 20-minute drive
When I arrived in fira, it was actually quite good, although it was similar to oia🙊 It was a lot of castle feeling, and I accidentally went to the donkey station I wanted to go to the most! The donkey is also a symbol of the local culture and customs of the island. Riding a donkey down for €5, it takes you down more than a hundred steps to the bottom port⚓️Let tourists take a boat to see the scenery, and then the donkey round trip is €10, poor donkey🐎
In the end, I still advise that if there is nothing wrong, don't come to the Aegean Sea by a girl🙈 It's really a bit dangerous, it is recommended to come with friends or partners! If a girl really wants to go, just ignore the men who are picking up on the road, after all, Greece is a bankrupt country, it is still a bit dangerous👌 It is recommended to follow the day tour, a day's day tour charges €43 will introduce local culture, take you to the black sand beach, the highest peak of the island, let you taste the three most famous red wines and white wines of the island.
Food: In fact, the cost of food is not cheap or expensive, and that gyros wrap is also very good.
Celebrating Chinese New Year in Greece
The best gift is companionship, this is the second travel note with parents. This time the scale is larger, not only with my own parents, but also with my girlfriend (nickname Little Aunt, my old travel partner) and her parents. The whole trip cost less than CNY13000 per person, this time I can finally keep accounts myself.
Actually, when booking the tickets, I never thought that winter in Greece is a rainy season. I was absent-minded, thinking isn't this the southern part of Europe? After booking, I found out it's a rainy season, but since we're here, we might as well enjoy it. There are ways to enjoy the off-season. In the end, I was under the halo of the little sun, feeling the sunshine of Santorini and Athens.
This article recommends excellent shooting points in Santorini and detailed locations, as well as Greek bloody myths and interspersed Athens attractions. I'll write slowly, you read slowly.
Thanks to mom and dad, they cooperated all the way, worthy of always following me on free trips. Thanks to Little Aunt, after all, she is an old partner, a super good travel partner. Thanks to Dad Lu, following the old master, I learned a little more about photography. Thanks to Mom Lu, the main chef, the mashed potatoes are top-notch.
Santorini's winter also has sunny days
Santorini's sunset and sunrise
Ia is beautiful no matter how you shoot it
National Geographic magazine's shooting location
Six people walking
Mom and dad watching the sea at Perissa Beach, the same action as last time in Taiwan
Wine tasting at the Santorini winery
And the real people on the island, the ubiquitous Meow Star people
Poseidon's Temple in Sounion, another good sunset
Two groups of mom and dad together
National Archaeological Museum of Athens, definitely worth a day's visit
Recommended photo spots in Santorini (detailed location)
The biggest advantage of traveling in winter is that there are fewer people, but the disadvantage is that the weather is cold and rainy, but this time I was lucky. In Santorini, for a total of four whole days, only the afternoon of the arrival day was rainy. The rest of the weather was not bad, one of which was a completely sunny day. Santorini under the blue sky and Santorini on a cloudy day are not the same place at all. As long as there is sun, Santorini is a place where you can take beautiful pictures at will.
The good photo spots are basically concentrated in Oia, in addition to the blue dome church in Firostefani that became popular because of National Geographic magazine. In fact, there are many large and small blue dome churches on Santorini.
Sunset viewing platform
Oia on Santorini is definitely the best place to watch the sunset. Recommend two places for sunrise
Byzantine Castle Ruins
GPS:36.460110,25.372734
This is the viewing platform very close to our homestay (the accommodation will be talked about later), not only the sunset is beautiful, but the sunrise is also highly recommended. But it is recommended to live next to this, otherwise you have to catch the last bus in winter, and there is no hope for watching the sunrise in the morning
The sunrise, sunset and scenery shot from the perspective of the viewing platform
The castle seen from the cafe, the location is really good
On the castle
A photographer who is dressed strangely early in the morning (it's really cold in the morning and evening)
Oia’s sunset
Oia's sunset (there is no specific building, refer to GPS for specific location)
GPS:36.461819,25.375311
The sunset here can be shot with three blue domes as the background. This place is relatively close to the bus station in Oia. This place itself is also a good place for portrait shooting.
It's a pity that the weather was not good that day.
Peter North broke in behind a few days during the day and went again, a dog with a super sense of lens, the last day to watch the sunrise also came to get close to me

Acropolis Athens 🗺️
#timetotravel
My visit to the Acropolis of Athens was a pilgrimage into history and marvel. Perched above the city, this iconic site with its monumental ruins and timeless architecture was a humbling experience. Standing before the Parthenon, I could almost feel the echoes of ancient Athenian life. The Erechtheion's Caryatids exuded grace, while the Propylaea's grand entrance marked the gateway to antiquity. The sweeping views of Athens below were breathtaking, revealing a city that has evolved through the ages. The Acropolis' central location and its usually extended visiting hours allowed me to immerse myself in its stories both day and night. The Acropolis of Athens isn't just an archaeological site; it's a testament to human achievement, artistry, and the enduring legacy of ancient Greece.
And The Surroundings Slopes
The Acropolis of Athens is not only the most important and visited monument in Greece but also one of the greatest achievements in European culture. It was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987.
It is situated at a limestone hill around 156 meters, and is visible from almost every part of Athens. It is around 200 meters 3 minutes walk from Acropoli metro station and is open daily from 0800-2000 during April to October.
The theater of Dionysus is an ancient Greek theatre built on the south slope of the Acropolis hill around the 4th to 5th century BC.
Although the most famous building on the Acropolis is the Parthenon, there are many other buildings, like the Propylaea, the Erectheion and the temple of Athena Nike. The Acropolis was entirely made of the finest Pentelic marble and by the best craftsmen of the era.
The Acropolis of Athens
Athens is a wonderful city filled with historic wonders. Located in Greece, south east of Europe.
The Acropolis of Athens is an ancient citadel located on a rocky outcrop above the city of Athens and contains the remains of several ancient buildings of great architectural and historical significance, the most famous being the Parthenon.

Oia Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Escape to Santorini's Caldera Views
As I stood on the edge of the mesmerizing Santorini Caldera in the delightful town of Oia, I was captivated by the enchanting views that unfolded before my eyes. The white-washed buildings cascading down the cliffside, adorned with colorful bougainvillea, created a picture-perfect setting that seemed to be straight out of a dream.
Exploring the narrow winding streets of Oia, I stumbled upon hidden gems, boutique shops, and charming cafes that beckoned me to sit and soak in the stunning scenery. The local cuisine was a treat for my taste buds, with fresh seafood and delectable Greek delicacies leaving me craving for more.
Sunsets in Santorini are legendary, and I was lucky enough to witness one from the famous Oia Castle. As the sky turned into a canvas of vibrant hues, I could feel a sense of peace and tranquility wash over me. It was a moment that I will cherish for a lifetime.
For those planning a visit to Santorini, I recommend exploring beyond Oia as well. The island offers breathtakingly beautiful beaches, such as the Red Beach and Kamari Beach, where you can unwind and bask in the Mediterranean sun. Exploring the ancient ruins of Akrotiri and visiting the traditional wineries to taste the renowned Santorini wine are also must-do experiences.
However, it's important to note that the popularity of Santorini means that it gets crowded, especially during peak tourist season. To avoid the crowds, consider visiting during the shoulder seasons or planning your activities early in the morning.
In conclusion, my trip to Santorini's Caldera Views in Oia was nothing short of magical. From the awe-inspiring views to the delectable cuisine, this destination truly lives up to its reputation as a paradise on earth. So, pack your bags, leave your worries behind, and embark on an unforgettable journey to Santorini's Caldera Views. #SantoriniEscape #BreathtakingViews #GreekParadise

Between blue and white, the land of gods | Santorini, Greece
Come and see the holy island🏖️
Santorini is most famous for its sunset🌄
The sunset bathes the entire holy island in golden light
Sitting on the roof watching the sunset, a little cat suddenly came by my side🐈
It rubbed against me and then snuggled up next to me
Because of its company, the wind of the Aegean Sea has added a bit of romance
The photos were taken in the town of Oia📸
Greece in February is off-season, basically no one, your company is probably some cats and dogs, but the photos are very good!! If it's not windy, a thick coat is enough for the weather in the teens. Local taxis can't swipe cards, remember to bring some cash. By the way, the daytime may disappoint you, but the scenery is really beautiful at sunset🎨 If you book a homestay with an outdoor hot spring, soaking in the hot spring and looking at the starry sky above your head is really so happy🥰
The White city
#greece #santorini
Everybody has seen those famous blue roofs but not many people know it’s Oia city on Santorini island.
A labyrinth of narrow streets invites you to have a walk in The White city, where so many Greek sunsets were filmed. Not only it’s literally white but also has many patches of colorful spots consisting of blooming trees and painted facades.
Definitely worth visiting. Just better avoid the summertime heat and go during low season. 😉
AUTHENTIC CYCLADIC BEAUTY OF OIA, SANTORINI!
OIA IN SANTORINI, GREECE HAS BECOME GLOBALLY FAMOUS FOR VITS AUTHENTIC CYCLADIC BEAUTY WHITEWASHED HOUSES, LABYRINTH LIKE ALLEYS AND AMAZING HOTELS, EVEN THOUGH THE NUMBER ONE THING OIA IS RENOWNED FOR IS ITS MAGICAL SUNSET.
OUT OF MANY EXCITING TOURS THAT WE HAVE TRIED IN GREECE, WE WOULD ALWAYS REGARD OIA AS ONE OF THE ISLAND'S MOST BEAUTIFUL AND VISITED COMMUNITIES IT IS AN ESSENTIAL MUST SEE IF YOU ARE IN SANTORINI.
OIA IS THE LITTLE GEM THAT WILL TAKE YOUR BREATH AWAY WITH ITS UNPARALLELED .SUNSET AND VOLCANIC VIEWS.

Saturday well spent in Fira centre
Spent a good lunch overlooking the Caldera in Fira centre in a Greek restaurant.
Went for fried calamari and a traditional Gemista (stuffed bell peppers with rice)
Had a short walk and had a break for a natural frozen yogurt (Chill Box) at the heart of Fira centre.
Went for x2 drinks ( a glass of wine + cocktail) after sunset at the lovely Paliakameni Cocktail Bar overlooking Caldera (PK cocktail bar )
Spent a total of 50€ in a day
Well spent and good value for a perfect Saturday!#cyclades #passionpassport #foodie
Autumn sunset
Start a good walk from Fira centre towards direction of Pyrgos, begin slowly at 17:00 hrs.
Enjoy the open caldera view by the national road.
It’s an open view so you can find a good spot at an angle of your preference and get a spot to sit, get comfy.
Watch as the sun slowly descends, creating a beautiful sunset colour on the Aegean Sea.
Breathtaking.#cyclades #passionpassport #sunset
