TRAVEL TIPS
c
You really need to know
that in Santorini the water is not drinkable. Always use
bottled water to drink. You can cook and bath with the
regular water though.
c
It is very difficult to find a taxi or a bus at the
airport or the port so make sure you will book a
transportation before you come or you night find
yourself waiting for hours in the heat and end up to
overcharged.
c
Last year 25 weddings where cancelled either because the
"wedding planer" took the deposits and run or because
the "wedding planner was not a wedding planner and
messed up with the legal documents requirements! Be
careful...the Greek laws are very strict and maybe you
will find many that organize weddings but they are not
the right people to trust. Choose a certified wedding
planer and not hotels and restaurants or foreigners who
they are not even registered with our Ministry of
Tourism or they don't even leave here or year around. It
is your wedding after all! Do you want to take the
chance?
c
Visiting the volcano requires to have with you water,
light clothes, sport shoes and a very good sun tan
lotion. The volcano is the ocean so you can go there
with a local boat. Also you can swim to the Hot Spinks.
c
Banks are open from 8 am to 2 pm, Monday to Friday and
the ATM's give you only 300 euro, unless you have
specifically asked your bank to open the limit for your
trip.
c
In
case you will need to visit our local hospital, please
note that it is free of charge.
c
In
Santorini we do not have street name or addresses so
make sure that you will have the phone number of your
accommodation.
