High Season: May through September
Low Season: October through March
Our Favorite: We love to visit Santorini in September because the weather is still warm and beautiful, but the summer crowds have started to die down.

GETTING AROUND THE ISLAND:
Use a car service through your hotel, airbnb, Viator, or Get Your Guide to book roundtrip transportation to and from the airport. If you are with a group of people, your hotel or airbnb can often times help you with specific transportation needs. Uber is also an option, which connects you to a local tax. The cheapest way is by bus, which you can go between most of the touristy spots around Santorini. Highly suggest booking accommodations where you plan on spending majority of your time so that most things can be done by walking.
