Santorini Get Away, How to Get a Steal Deal to This Island?

Santorini is a dream Mediterranean get away. This is the best place for honeymooners, beach lovers and gastronomical travelers. Everything in this place is a feast to the soul. Wherever one points his camera is a scene to capture, every detail is picturesque. The Islands that comprises this part of Greece is a product of a volcanic eruption many years ago. The eruption has produced a masterpiece of islands scattered in the blue waters and shone upon by the most gorgeous sunlight.

For most this place seems only possible in dreams. Other people contend in just watching and admiring the view from movies they see. It connotes grandeur and sound expensive. But Santorini can be a steal vacation if you know what to do. That is what I am about to share with you in this article so you can start making that dream get away within hand’s reach.

1. Flight to Greece, Sail to Santorini

If you look at the rates for a Santorini travel, you will be aghast by the price. The trick is to do away with travelers promo. Search on your own the cheapest flight there is to this destination by using the internet.  Look for the cheapest quote u can find and compare them with what travel adviser near you offers, haggle with the price.

When you arrive, ride in a ferry to get to the island. Be wary of the turnaround time. You would not want to arrive to Santorini in wee hours since land transportation fares are costlier than in day time. If you book a place where there is pick up service, then all the better for you.

2. Lodging

The key to a cheap place to stay in Greece is to get one that is outside of Fira. The center which is Fira is bustling with busy streets and lively commerce. It can also be very noisy until dawn since many motorcycles run down the street even in late hours. It is also a known tourist area therefore the prices here are mostly twice as much compared to its counterpart in other places. Another worthy advise to keep is to look for a place via internet and be patient with it. The budget you have can have a good match if you click further through the search engine results.

3. Food

Don’t we all just love Greek salad and the fresh sea food that Greece has to offer? This can cost you to break the bank if you don’t know where to look. Avoid eating in fancy cafes and restaurants in Fira. Do venture on a trip to places like Oia. This nearby villages has a tavern which offers authentic Greek dishes which are affordable and sumptuous. There are also establishments that offer free wine and snacks like the bookshop named Atlantis Books who does this during a poetry reading activity. Also if you can find a dwelling that has its own kitchen, it will be a tremendous savings if you cook your own food and only eat occasionally in taverns outside of Fira. That is double savings for you!

4. Places to go.

Fira is a nice place to visit with its cube like houses in white and blue cascading down the hill. It has a nice market place where you can find keepsakes and other Santorini products. Another spot is Peloponnese which is full of incredible sights from Byzantine cities and Mycenaean palaces, to lush orchards, hike-able ravines and snow-capped peaks. Lefkada is another destination, it is well known for its beaches. There are beaches that are for public use. Do try the museum and ancient ruins of Athens too, u should not miss those even if it may cost you some bucks. It is all worth it. The rest though you can enjoy for a very cheap price and some are, incredible as it may seem, for free!

Santorini can be achieved with good planning and patient researching. You just have to brave the idea of breaking free from pre planned tour packages and discover the hidden steal deals that this place has to offer. You will be surprised at how much savings you can get. Your perfect getaway awaits you.
