Know before you go 🧳
The practical stuff for Santorini — check these before you book and pack.
Entry & visas
- Passport validity — Rule of thumb: many countries (including Greece) expect passports valid for at least 3–6 months beyond your planned departure; confirm requirements for your passport.
- Schengen area — Santorini is in Greece/Schengen — many passport holders get 90 days visa-free within 180 days, but rules vary by nationality.
- Check official sources — Always verify visa and entry rules for your passport on the destination's immigration website or IATA Travel Centre before booking.
- Customs & declarations — Declare cash, food, or large-value items as required; check Greek customs rules if carrying restricted goods or large amounts of currency.
Health & safety
- Vaccinations — Follow routine vaccinations; check CDC/WHO or your healthcare provider for recommended shots before travel.
- Tap water — Tap water in Santorini is generally treated and potable in towns, but many visitors prefer bottled water due to taste; check local advisories if you have a sensitive stomach.
- Travel insurance — Carry travel insurance that covers medical evacuation and COVID-19-related costs; confirm coverage limits before departure.
- Sun & heat — Strong sun and reflective surfaces can cause dehydration/ sunburn—bring sunscreen, hat, and water for hikes and boat excursions.
Money & tipping
- Currency — Euro (EUR). ATMs widely available in Fira and major towns; smaller villages and boats may be cash-only.
- Cards vs cash — Cards are accepted at hotels and many restaurants; always carry some cash for taxis, small shops, and island vendors.
- Tipping norm — Tipping is appreciated but not mandatory: rounding up, 5–10% in restaurants for good service; small tips for drivers and guides.
- Notify bank — Tell your card issuer you’ll be in Greece to reduce the chance of fraud blocks, and check foreign transaction fees.
Connectivity & power
- Plug & voltage — Plugs: Type C and F. Voltage: 230 V, 50 Hz — bring a suitable adapter and check device compatibility.
- Mobile & data — Greek SIMs and eSIMs available at the airport and in Fira; coverage is good in main towns but can be patchy on hikes and some caldera spots.
- Wi‑Fi — Hotels, cafes, and restaurants commonly offer Wi‑Fi; speed varies—download maps/offline info if you’ll be exploring remote areas.
- Emergency number — European emergency number: 112 for police, medical, or fire assistance in Greece.
Local customs & etiquette
- Churches & dress — Dress modestly when entering churches (shoulders and knees covered). Remove hats in some religious settings.
- Behaviour — Be polite and moderately quiet in residential areas and at sunset viewpoints—locals value calm and respect.
- Negotiation — Prices are generally fixed in shops; bargaining is uncommon except at some markets or for private tours.
- Footwear — Streets and steps are steep and uneven—wear sturdy shoes and avoid blocking narrow walkways when stopping for photos.
Climate & packing
- Best months — Best time: late April–June and September–October for pleasant weather and fewer crowds; peak season is July–August.
- What to pack — Pack sun protection, light layers for windy evenings, comfortable walking shoes, and a light rain layer in shoulder seasons.
- Sea & swim — Sea temperatures are warm in summer; bring swimwear and reef shoes for some rocky beaches.
- Crowds & heat — Expect large crowds and high temperatures in mid-summer—book accommodation and transport early if traveling July–August.
Language & phrases
- Official language — Greek is the official language; English is widely spoken in tourist areas.
- Hello — Hello: 'Yasá' or 'Yassas' (YA-sah / YA-sahs) — polite greeting.
- Thank you — Thank you: 'Efcharistó' (ef-cha-ree-STO).
- Please — Please/You're welcome: 'Parakaló' (pa-ra-ka-LO).
Getting to & around
- Main airport — Santorini (Thira) National Airport (JTR) handles domestic and international flights—small airport, expect queues in peak season.
- Airport → Fira — From the airport: public bus to Fira (seasonal), taxis, or prebooked transfers; journey time ~10–20 minutes depending on traffic.
- Ferry options — Regular ferries connect Santorini with Piraeus and other Cycladic islands—journey times vary; check schedules/sea conditions in advance.
- Getting around island — Public buses link towns; consider renting a car, ATV, or quad for flexibility—drive carefully on narrow/steep roads.
General guidance, not legal advice — entry and health rules depend on your passport and change often. Verify with official sources before you fly.
