Best time to visit Santorini

Santorini is definitely a summer destination that requires loads of sunlight to be explored. December to March is the off-season because of the poor weather and many establishments choose not to open during this time. May and September is the peak season in Santorini because of the hot and dry weather and you can expect to find many tourists visiting the island in these months.

However, we believe the best time to visit Santorini is actually from April to June or from September to October. Why? The weather is still pretty mild during the pre-and post-season but the prices for food and accommodation do not balloon as much as in the high season and, best of all, fewer crowds!

There are much food that you should try in Greece, you can spend €3-7 per meal. You should probably try gyros and souvlaki, this has become one of our favorite food to eat in Greece. It comes with salad, sauce and French Fries. The cost of each starts from €2-3. Bougatsa is a custard pastry available in Greece.

You can find this anywhere in the country, the price of this piece of pastry is €2.40. And you should definitely try their go-to Greek food Baklavas. There are fine restaurants where you can a three-course meal for €10 and the food is amazing in Greece.
