Will I need cash, or is card fine in Santorini?

Card is accepted almost everywhere โ€” especially in hotels, restaurants, and shops. But...

Bring some cash (Euros) for:

Small local tavernas or beach bars
Taxis (some donโ€™t take cards)
Tips and quick snacks
Public toilets or small vendors

ATMs are widely available, but fees can vary โ€” check with your bank before travelling and try to withdraw in fewer, larger amounts if needed.

Avoid airport exchange counters โ€” they often have the worst rates.

Tap-to-pay (Apple Pay, Google Pay) works in most places that accept cards, but always have a backup just in case.
๐Ÿ’ก Tip: Bring a small crossbody bag or belt pouch to keep your cash/cards secure during outings or on the catamaran cruise.

Can I drink Tap water in Santorini?

Itโ€™s best to drink bottled water. Hotels and most villas will provide it โ€” and itโ€™s cheap and easy to find everywhere.

WHO CAN I CONTACT IF I HAVE QUESTIONS?

If you have any questions in the lead-up, feel free to reach out to us via Facebook, Instagram, or text, weโ€™re always happy to help!!

Exploring Santorini

Different Villages

๐—™๐—ถ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ (๐—–๐—น๐—ถ๐—ณ๐—ณ๐˜€๐—ถ๐—ฑ๐—ฒ)

Fira is the capital of Santorini. On the caldera side you get one of the best views of the island and the activity level is enough to keep you entertained for hours. There are cafes, bars, restaurants, all with views and some with several levels of patios and balconies. Fira is in a great location in the middle of the island with a local bus stop so you can get anywhere easily.

๐—ž๐—ฎ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ถ (๐—•๐˜† ๐—•๐—น๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ธ ๐—•๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ต)

The long and wide famous Kamari beach is in walking distance and there are many bars, restaurants, cafes, super markets and other shops to spend your time. The beach is covered with black volcanic sand and lined with sun-beds and umbrellas for you to lay out.

๐—ฃ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐˜ƒ๐—ผ๐—น๐—ผ๐˜€ (๐—•๐˜† ๐—•๐—น๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ธ ๐—•๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ต)

The seaside village of Perivolos is quite popular, largely among young people, as it holds the liveliest beach resort. It is a small place that lies at the southeast coast of Santorini, very close to Perissa village. There are nice restaurants that offer local specialties, warm cafes and bustling bars with lively music. It has many beach bars and pool venues with entertainment. The beach is covered with black volcanic sand and lined with sun-beds and umbrellas for you to lay out.

Perivolos is a good spot to stay if you are looking to explore the southern part of the island.

Oia is the most photogenic town, a maze of small shops, restaurants and cafes, all with spectacular views of the rest of the island and the caldera.

Oia is famous for its chic and expensive restaurants and great shopping. The whole place is built along the Cliffside. We do not recommend this as an area to stay in as it's the most expensive part of Santorini and far from everything else, but we highly encourage you to do a day trip to Oia!

Most hotels will be able to help you rent one.

โ€ข Go ๐ก๐ข๐ค๐ข๐ง๐  up to the Ancient Thera (mountain in Kamari) to see the runes. Recommended to start hiking around 5pm when the sun starts to go down as there is little shade. There are tickets to see the runes for a small price.

Hike the Caldera Footpath - this incredible hike takes you along the caldera cliff and through the villages of Fira, Firostefani, merovigli, and Ora with the most breathtaking views.

The hiking trail from Fira to Ola is just under 10.5km, and can take anywhere between 2-5 hours depending on how quick you go and how many stops you make. Take plenty of water!

โ€ข Go to a ๐ฐ๐ข๐ง๐ž๐ซ๐ฒ and enjoy the Caldera views. Santo Wines Winery and Venetsanos Winery are two of the most popular to visit with stunning views of the caldera. Santo Winery has the best sunset view.
