Santorini Travel Vlog | Slow Greece Full Documentary
[Music] [Laughter] [Music] [Music] 30°, guys. [Music] [Music] Hello guys and welcome back to a new video. Uh I just arrived to Santorini and I checked in in the in the hotel place uh where I’m going to stay for about four nights. Um, I decided to take it very easy here and actually enjoy Santorini instead of rushing it. Usually people say that two or three days in Santorini is more than enough. I decided to stay a bit longer so I can take it easy and relax at the beach. The place is actually ner than what I thought. It’s very well decorated and it does have a nice bed and also a little desk there and a little table with chairs. Also TV actually and there is a small kitchenet which I was not expecting to be honest. So that’s really useful and a really good bathroom as well. outside there is a nice swimming pool and I think I’m going to spend the rest of my day there and before heading out for dinner and it’s a bit crowded now as in it’s very small but there are quite a few people so I’m not feeling like filming right now I hope it’s going to be less crowded in a bit so I can show you another nice thing that they do they give you some cute slippers and also every Today they refill your fridge with some juice, some water and some croissant and they give you also some tea and coffee stuff. Lovely. Final thing that I want to show you guys is what they give you. shampoo and shower gel, olive tree, and also some conditioner and a a few other amenities like toothbrush, which is quite nice. This is my room. And that’s the swimming pool. As you can see, there’s not many places where you can uh relax, but yeah, it’s quite nice. The location of this hotel is in FA. Fra is much it’s cheaper and less crowded. And also the location is very good because it’s very close to the main bus station which is in FRA from where you can take buses all over the island. So you can go basically wherever you want from here. So I think the location is actually pretty convenient. And after going and spend some time in the swimming pool today, um I then I’ll get ready and go for dinner and uh to go and take a little walk in FRA and explore the city. [Music] [Music] Everything. [Music] [Music] [Music] Okay, this is like a dream. Oh, it’s so nice. I told myself that I want to learn to do fare because I’ve been working so hard recently and in this trip I really want to do and so far today I did a bit. I’m super hungry now though. So I think I’m going to get ready for it to go for a dinner. Hopefully some traditional Greek food. Thank you. Okay, we are now entering FA. The town center is super busy and loud. Lots of uh souvenir shops. lots of tourists even if it’s October. So I I I just can’t even imagine how it can be during the peak times July and August. Hello. How you doing today? [Music] [Music] So what we see here it’s the volcano of Santorini and Terasia as well. And tomorrow I’m going on a boat tour and I’m going to visit the hot springs as well and yeah both of them. Okay. I’m I’m generally speechless. I I was not expecting this. You know, we are used to see beautiful pictures on Instagram of Santorini, but I don’t know. In person, it’s different. It’s It’s incredible. [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] Heat. Hey, heat. Hey, heat. [Music] [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] [Music] From here we can see the cable car. That’s the station. You can go down through the stairs and then you take the cable car to the top. [Music] What do you All [Music] right. [Music] [Music] Super. [Music] Glory. [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] Hallelujah. This is the area where lots of orders are the very expensive ones. SP and there is the cable car down there. And voila, you still have this on the side. It’s It’s incredible, honestly. Let’s take a look at this menu. I’m looking for a place where I can eat some fish. Seems like they don’t have fish here, but they probably have a nice view. Also, the prices are actually not bad, but it’s more like Yeah, I don’t know. Seems to be breakfast kind of stuff. In fact, it says breakfast. So, I don’t know if they have much to go to to eat. Okay, here we go. Yeah, it’s extremely expensive. [Music] [Music] Yeah, there are quite a lot of restaurants. Let’s go and take a look at the menu. Seafood €7, but this is maybe for like more people. Um, yeah. Yeah, the price are fine. I think on the expensive side, but I mean that’s the area, you know. This uh this place is uh the name is Louis. How are you ladies? [Music] So the commercial side of Santorini is not great. Like for instance, I wanted to go to this uh restaurant and because on my own, if you want to sit on this side and observe the sunset, you have to spend at least 70. So, not very inclusive, in it, but you know that if you come to Santorini anyways, it’s uh it’s like a luxury kind of experience anyways. So, I think many people are ready to do that. Um, yeah, but if you are a solo traveler, definitely it’s more difficult to spend so much money on on food. So, it’s quite Yeah, it’s a bit annoying. But, let’s see if I can find something else. [Music] with [Music] like shame. So this is a typical traditional I think salmon dish. Uh, it’s grilled salmon with some moss of broccoli and uh citros sauce. So, I think it’s a bit like lemony. And I mean, look at the colors down there. Just incredible, honestly. Okay, the food is just incredible. How many times did I say incredible so far? It’s just so good. I mean, the view is is I don’t know. I don’t take words, honestly. I don’t I’m kind of speechless. So, I’m just going to enjoy the meal to be honest. It’s so good. [Music] They also gave me some wine. Vincanto. Really good. [Music] [Music] [Music] Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. [Music] Good morning guys. I’m in Santorini. I’m in the garden of the order where I’m staying in Fra. This is probably going to be my fourth video on Santorini. So if you want to know more about Santorini and different places, if you want to be helped more in planning your trip and activities, check the other blogs as well. Today I’m going to check out the beaches of Santorini and I’m going to explain you which beaches I’m going to check out. I’m going to use this map that the receptionist gave me here in the hotel. So this is a map of Santorini and the receptionist showed me that told me that Camari, Parisa and Pereus and Red Beach and White Beach are the most important beaches in the south. There are other beaches on the in the north as well, but I’m going to visit these ones. So today I’m going to Kamari first. Going to the beach in Kamari. From here, I can take a ferry that takes me to Paris San Peros. And tomorrow, which is going to be in this video anyways, I will go to the white beach and red beach. So, let’s get ready. I’m going to take the bus from Fra Station, which is about 10 minutes walk, even less, from here, and go to Kamari. First stop. [Music] Hi guys. So I’m at the bus station now and I wanted to show you how it looks like. It’s very busy where all of these people are there. There are the timets. are quite reliable and the train the the bus ticket it goes from €250 for instance there is a bus now I know to Kamari in about 1 minute so I’m going to try and get there but you’ll see you can find also the time table to go to the port from where you can get fairies but the the time table for those They come 2 days before the trip. [Music] [Music] Just arrived in Tamari is uh it took about 15 minutes. It was super quick. I have to say the transport here in Santorini works very well. Um, you can buy the tickets on the bus, but you need cash for it. Um, yeah, it’s uh it’s very the timetable is quite reli reliable, so you can plan around it and it goes from F bus station. It goes more or less everywhere in the island. So, you don’t need a car if you come to Santorini. That’s uh That’s what I learned. [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] Wow guys, we just arrived to Mari and I’m quite surprised to see this site of Santorini. It is very different from the rest. Like this is sea level, so you’re not half and you actually have this amazing background there. And uh yeah, you can rent or you can also stay here for free, which is good. Uh the sea is quite rough today, so we’ll see. I think the current is quite strong but uh yeah I’m very grateful to be here. [Applause] The beach is mainly pebbles here and a bit of sand close to the shore, but it’s mainly pebble. I asked someone working here if the ferry service works and they told me that probably. So it’s not sure but if that’s the case they’re going to be like every more or less half an hour and they start from the end of the beach. So what I’m going to do I’m going to go there chill relax and if it comes I’m going to get it and you can pay on the ferry and it is usually about€5. This is for the ferry to pretty soon. So, let’s see. It’s really nice here, by the way. I really like this. This is more or less the area where the ferry should come, but we’ll see. I’m going to stop here now. [Music] The water to be the first of October is actually pretty warm. So, I’ll try to get a nice swim. While I was swimming, I saw the ferry coming in and I just rushed here. There are quite a few people, so I really hope while Yeah, that’s enough space, but [Music] Heat. [Music] Heat. [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] just arrived to Karisa um by boats. Uh the boat ticket in the end was €8. Uh it took about maybe 20 minutes. Uh the sea was a bit rough, so it was going up and down quite a lot. But yeah, and now I’m here. My first impression is that the beach is much smaller. There are parasolles and beds that you can rent, but I think you can also stay on this side for the shore. So, there’s so much space and there are not pebbles beach, but there is a black beach sand. So, what I’m going to do, I’m going to go for a walk. Heat. Heat. Guys, I’m having a moment of gratitude. food. I don’t know if it ever happens to you, but sometimes I have this burst of happiness because I went to the restaurant here to take a look and I realized that they have some seafood barley, which is something I’ve never tried before. And I’m like, I really want to try. I’m so grateful. And yeah, it’s it’s pretty amazing actually, I have to say. Yeah, I’m going to try later for €15. So actually here it’s even a bit cheaper than uh the big cities of the big towns I guess of Santorini. Yes. It’s so nice. [Music] Clearly there are also some beaches without um sunb. So that’s more space. There is more space than I thought. [Music] So I’m now on Perisa Beach. And if you go if you walk that way, you go to Perivous Beach. So we’re going to go for a walk in a bit. I’m going to stay here, swim, go for a lunch, and then walk to Perivous. Sounds like a plan. Yeah. [Music] As usual, there are some changes of plan in my life and I decided not to go for seafood barley because there are some muscles I don’t like. So, I’m in a different place now which names is barista. The prices are decent. So, I think I’m going to go for a Greek salad. Wow, this looks so yummy. Oh my gosh, I love food in Greece. I love food in Greece. Do you [Music] just finished my lunch? Lunch was really good. Was, you know, Greek food. I don’t know about you, but I love Greek food and Moroccan food. What’s your favorite food? I had a Greek salad was really good. The place was lovely, but the toilet, oh my god, it was the most disgusting toilet I ever been. It smelled so bad and I can’t really like I can’t carry on vlogging if I don’t say this because it was it was like a shock. Anyways, well this is pretty. It’s a church here in Parisa. Now what we’re going to do I’m going to go and have a little walk around and then I’m going back to the beach and we’re going to walk to the other beach. So it’s definitely a very different vibes in this part of Santorini. It’s completely different. For instance, here close to the beach, there is a complex of bungalow, these little houses, and it seems to be quite wild. It’s nice. [Music] [Music] So after seeing this I can definitely say that Santorini is not only fira luxury it’s also wild and more authentic close to the beach like a sea level is really cool. There’s much more to do here than just sitting on a puzzle swimming pool. But yeah, that’s part of the experience as well. Of course, here in Parisa Beach, they also do some water sports like renting a ski jet. And by the way, the walk between from Teresa Beach to Rio is about 20 minutes. So interesting to see the shadow of the clouds on the mountain like it’s these clouds there. Now it’s too heavy like this. [Music] There is certainly a variety of restaurants in Parisa. Peros seems to be a continuation of Parisa beach. I don’t see much many differences between the two. So they say that this is the black beach. It is black, but I saw also lots of pebbles. Uh, I was expecting more black, you know, grainy sand. There’s not much of it. Anyways, it’s a nice atmosphere. Um, see, it’s it’s good. Like, yeah, I’m going to chill a little bit now because honestly, it’s a big walk to go to Perivus. And uh it seems to be very similar. I think I’m almost there, but I think I might I might stop here and just relax a little bit. Now, the good thing is there are some trees, so you can actually get some sh some shade in the during the very hot times. It’s quite peaceful and nice. Now I read about it and from Parisa to Pereos this is the longest stretch of beach in Santorini and Pivolos is a little bit more like a club scene continuation of the night life scene in Santorini like in FA but uh beach beach wise is basically the same both organized and both free which which is good. To be honest, I don’t know if there’s so much space for free people that don’t want to pay for, you know, sunbeds because it’s basically October or not. But for me, it’s a positive sign. In any case, you can uh you can enjoy the beach wherever you want. So there are not areas that are restricted where you must be to enter. You can uh you can enjoy the beach. So that’s pretty good. Okay, it’s really time to sleep for me now because if I have a superpower is falling asleep standing or even while I eat. So, I’m definitely going to fall asleep here. Good night. [Music] Can someone explain me how they managed to build a church in a sort of a cave on the mountain? Well, it doesn’t seems there is a way to get there. This is beyond my comprehension. It’s so weird. Heat. Heat. [Music] [Music] [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] Good Morning. I just arrived to Acroini village with a bus, a local bus from FA. This is the stop you have to get off to go to the red beach. To go to the red beach, there are two ways from here. You can take a taxi boat uh service. You need to pay for it. I don’t know how much it is. Or you can do a hike from up there all around there. So, I’m going to go for a hike and um yeah, so here this top I think is Acroi village close to the Acroi excavation points. So, Acriri um it’s an archaeological center where you can see ancient ruins. You need to pay a ticket. I don’t think I’m going this time, but you can find information online anyways. And here you have also restaurants and you can also other tren you can have other taverns here. Okay, this is actually the taxi service and the goes to the red beach, white beach and black beach for 15. Um I think I’m going to book to the red beach and then taking place later to go to the white and black beach. Uh let’s see how it goes. So, I asked how to go to the red beach by walking and they told me that I have to go around on the on the beach. When I get there, there should be like a little hike up on the mountains on the little hill, the cliff, and then you go on the other side. [Music] Just close to the entrance to the final hike. There are some restaurants and taverns. So, make sure you take some food with you. Because on the head beach and I think also on the white and black one if you want to go there’s not service of this kind. [Music] Here we go. Here they have sandwiches and also souvenirs. Let’s see how long it takes to get there based on this information here. It’s about 7 minutes. to go to the red beach. 7 minutes walk. Then there are a few other beaches obviously farther away. Okay, [Music] this is Sant. I’ve been told that there’s a bit of a dead drop full of rocks. So yeah, as usual the views are Yeah. So beautiful. [Music] It’s right on the seat. I’m so glad I decided to come this way. It’s a short walk of 7 minutes quite easy and then you get these amazing views. These rocks are red because they are created by volcanic erosion and the erosion and eruption exposed the red iron bridge rocks. That’s why they’re red. And the water is amazing. Look at the shades. Incredible. Hey. Hey. Hey. [Music] Dangerous signs though are kind of everywhere. So there’s quite risk of uh falling rocks here. So be careful if you decide to come. [Music] But yeah, it’s it’s a bit risky, let’s say. And some bits are a little bit sketchy. Yeah. Look at this one. [Music] Hey, hey, hey. [Music] There is a very small organized beach, not coffee, not bar. So, [Music] look at these rocks. They’re so beautiful. [Music] It’s time to test the water here. Let’s see. It goes down quite quickly. Ah. Whoa. It’s quite cold. It’s good though. It’s refreshing for sure. Heat. Heat. [Music] [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] Heat. Heat. N. [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] I don’t know guys if you can hear me. The waves are very loud but yeah. So this is the white beach. The beach is pretty small, but apparently the sea is quite shallow and you can walk potentially. It’s that rock as well. The white color is due to some specific [Applause] um characteristic of the lava. I do my research when I got back home. Wow, this was one of my best queen. Unfortunately, I don’t have an action camera, a decent one. And I went to that rock and the formation of the rocks are made in a way that there is like a cave and if you go through it, you see also the other exit and the views are incredible. But unfortunately, I wasn’t able to see it. But it is beautiful. Definitely worth coming here. I’m going to stay about an hour and then next stop is going to be the the black beach on the other side and that one there is a bar. There is like it’s organized, fully organized. That’s going to be the last stop. The boats are coming every half an hour. So, you know that every half an hour you have a boat and the price is €15 for the whole experience. So you can take it whenever you want really to go wherever. But once they go to the black beach, they don’t go back to the white beach and the red beach. They go straight back to Acroi. [Applause] [Music] Wow. Those meals are not I [Music] Guys, we are now at the Black Beach. Yeah, we have food service and you also have a park. And that’s why it’s a great restaurant as well. And also there is a little boat park. You see the rocks here? So, I’m going to go and take a look there as well. the last boat from here to go back to Kiri. It’s at 5:00 p.m. Uh, today’s the 2nd of October, so I don’t know if during the summer time, actually, they come a little bit later. And this is the Greek restaurant. It says family. So, uh, I’m pretty sure it’s good. my me. [Music] You see the black beach is reachable by car as well. There is a parking lot here. Whereas the white beach, it’s reachable only by boat. So you definitely need to take a boat. went up the hill a little bit and it’s so nice. [Music] The hill there is an abandoned place. Maybe not very wise to come here, but the view is incredible though. So nice. And if you want, you can carry on the hike up that way. [Music] [Music] foreign speech. Heat. Heat. [Music] Hey Guys, um just back in today was absolutely gorgeous. I mean, the experience itself was amazing. I mean, I never had words to express how I’m feeling cuz every time it’s beautiful and I’m super grateful for it. Anyways, I just wanted to quickly show you how to do the beach. It’s very small, but it’s a it’s a beach. It’s all right, I guess. There are a few taverns and fish places here. So before going back home, meaning FA and the hotel, I’m going to have some stuff special breakfast, which is a typical Greek uh dish. So good. And this is the bus stop where to take the bus back to here, but I’m going to do it later. So, I’m just going to go and have some dinner now since tomorrow I’m off to Athens. I’m going to go buy a ferry. I’ll show you a little bit. I might do a vlog about it. If not, I’ll see you in a bit. [Music] Here, [Music] my stuffed tomatoes with some potatoes and the view from the restaurant. [Music] This is a perfect way to end the day. Really? I could have did it. [Music] [Music] Morning guys. Another day in Santorini. I’m currently in the main on the main street here in Fra and the intention of today and the intention of this video is walking to IA through different villages up north. The final stop should be IA and we should be able to admire the sunset from there. I’m not going to share much about Fira because at this point there’s going to be already a full vlog dedicated to Spir. So you can find it in my channel or probably link above. We are now already on the upper part of FA from where you can take the cable car to the old port. This is the cable car that can take you from the up top of it to the old part where there are some fish restaurants as well. It’s quite pictures down there. Surely the view from here is uh breathtaking. [Music] The first part of the walk was quite up was a bit steep and I’m just at the top of FA right now and the view is incredible. [Music] Here [Music] on the top of Fra, close to the three belts of FRA, there is a small little um place that sells some souvenir like bracelets and necklaces for very cheap. I bought five for 5 years. Coming here to the top is definitely worth for the views and to see the belts, the three belts of FA. This is a church. [Music] Well, this one that you see is not actually in me. It’s still FRA. So, FRA is quite big. is actually uh what I would say the capital of Santorini. The upper is actually a quite popular place as well. There are quite a lot of people. It’s kind of a different vibe. It’s it’s quite nice. the luxury side of Santorini. Look at this. That’s an infinity pool with great views. Here we are really going off the beaten path uh towards the viewpoint of I can see less people around. So, wow. From here, I can see the volcano really well. We climbed up to the top of the volcano to the active crater yesterday. At this point, there should be already a vlog on this experience. Okay, guys. I decided to stop in Iro for lunch and I’m going to the to a restaurant a bit further away. So, I’m going to walk another 15 minutes at least going to have lunch because after that it’s going to be a hike and There are not going to be many restaurants or places where to eat. I really hope you can hear me. It’s super windy. But yeah, let’s go and explore Immov. And here we having an Instagram set for sure. Look at that. How pretty. Some more filming with kids. Oops. Let’s carry on, shall we? Yeah, no doubt. Wow, the view here. And there is the lady in purple again. Do you think it’s a commercial or Instagram? Guys, look at this view. And it seems like you can walk there. Looks so lovely. I just checked what I means in Greek and it means daydream, which makes so much sense. I think it’s it’s it’s incredible. It’s so picturesque. I definitely like it more than FA, but FA is lovely, too. I mean, incredible. Okay, from here it’s 2 hours and a half walk to here. Um, I’m going to have lunch first. I’m trying to find a restaurant or even a sandwich place where to eat, but everything is extremely expensive, even more expensive than in FRA. You can have a ham and cheese sandwich for €10 plus Coke for instance. So a drink for 8 years. So let me let me see what I can find. Okay, I found a place that it’s expensive, but it’s a little bit more uh reasonable. I think I’m going to go for a There are also traditional reps recipes here. Oh, I think I’m going to try the pie actually. Yeah. Yeah. There is Mosaka for £19. It’s definitely not bad. I mean the views are beautiful. Only a shame that it’s not open but so there is glass here. You see? But it’s nice. The name of this place is blue note. Here we go. This is a traditional Greek pie. There is cheese inside and some honey on top. Let’s try. So it’s it’s feta cheese inside. Of course it’s Greek. It’s feta cheese. [Music] It’s really nice for only £10. I mean €10. And if you’re still hungry, you can always order something else. the restaurant. There is a very lovely waitress and she explained to me that what we see in the there in the distance is actually here already. And to get there, it seems to be hard, a little bit hard to get to the top of the mountain that you can see there. But then it’s going to be easier. It should take about 2 hours from here. So fingers crossed I’ll make it. Time to go. [Music] That’s the island of Tasia. I went there yesterday on a boat tour. The vlog about that experience should already be online on my channel. It was absolutely incredible. Heat. Heat. N. [Music] Hey, [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] hey, hey. Okay, guys. I have just realized that my mic hasn’t been working for a while and I’ve done so much filming with me talking and explaining to you stuff and unfortunately it’s not with you. So, thankfully though, I realized it. So, it should be working. Now the thing about this trail is that we need to circumn this hill, go down again and up and then we will be close to here. [Music] The other side of the view is actually interesting as well. There are quite a lot of resorts you see with swimming pools, but they are on the other side. So, they are a little bit far from the main attractions, but surely closer to the beach and if you have a car, you can always move around. Anyways, yeah, it’s definitely very different. [Music] Wow, guys. It’s so nice here. Not many people. I’m also very grateful that I decided to come to Santorini at the end of it September, 1 of October because definitely there are less people. But look, oh my god, how pretty is this? Now we need to go down. It looks like um I don’t know, a fairy tale. About halfway through there is a toilet. Before carry on to here, just checking out this place. Wow. Fore! Foreign! Foreign! [Music] The wind is is currently very strong. Be on the top of the hill sometimes can be a little bit I don’t know. Can you hear me? Even also the terrain becomes pretty uneven, so be aware of it. Okay, now we are back um down the hill and we should probably walk on the main road here where the cars are. So that’s the next step. And after the walk on the road, we can see there in the distance again the continuation on the hill to go to here. Thankfully, there is the little thing here. I’m going to have a juice or something and relax a little bit before going back on the trail. Okay, guys. I finished my orange juice quite quickly cuz this is what awaits us. We need to try and be in here before sunset. So, better crack on. [Music] [Music] Oh, these are donkey rides. So, yeah, I’m conflicted about this kind of experiences. this. I mean, I’ve done it in the past. I’m sorry for the animals, though. But honestly, in the past, they used to be used so much for all the hardest jobs. But yeah, anyways, we don’t we are not going to do it this time. So, let’s just keep walking. [Music] Wow. When I was down there, I thought that this one was going to be the toughest bit. Actually, it’s not. And uh there’s not much wind either, so not too bad. Wow. Honestly, I will freak out if I was on top of it. Wow. The old ways. [Applause] Okay, I’m probably in one of the highest points um I’ll reach today. Unless this is a false peak. Hopefully not. just stopped for a bit of water because it’s super hot now. In fact, you can see this wet. Sorry about that. Yeah, that’s life, isn’t it? Oh my goodness. It’s um Whoa, it is hot. There’s not wind much anymore. So, that makes a huge difference actually. But uh I think I’m I almost reached the top of that hill that we saw earlier from probably down there somewhere down there. [Music] Okay, let’s carry on. [Applause] [Music] la. [Music] I made it to the top. From now on, it’s going to be all downhill to Yeah. [Music] Wow, guys. This was a track, but so so rewarding. It’s just incredible being up here now. And I look around, right? I see the island of Tasia and volcano and I see Imira um and Fra from the yeah from here I can see I and you know and tomorrow and the day after I’m going to uh explore the beaches of Santorini. I’m just feeling like with five full days in Santorini I’m actually getting to know the island very well and I think it’s it’s great. I mean, people say you should stay in Storina maximum like top two day stops and I honestly I think you should stay longer and actually really really enjoy the island because these islands has so much to offer. It is incredible. It’s so beautiful. So yeah, happy to be here. I really hope you enjoy this tour and uh yeah, we still have a lot to go. I have to go down there, but it’s all right. I’ll keep going in a minute. Just cheating a bit. [Music] And I need I need I need [Music] I need I need [Music] Nah. [Music] [Music] We are here. We made it. So that’s Yeah. Incredible walk. Definitely worth doing even if I sweat a lot. [Music] Heyoo. [Music] Hey. [Music] I’m sitting here on on the outskirts of Ya. I wonder if I should go and eat and have dinner before the sunset. I’m really hungry. It’s already 5:00 a.m. The smell of these flowers. Oh my gosh. Hey. Hey. Hey. [Music] [Music] The cruise ship is coming. It’s going to bring like thousands of people to watch the sunset. Really annoying. Stay in the boat. [Music] I’ll give you a [Music] I’m surprised the dresses here are not bad at all. I might come later. Hallelujah. I don’t know. There’s a number of people I went for the musaka. It’s a typical dish with okra chain and bishamela and mint meat as well. [Music] Okay, it’s after after dinner. I’m rushing to the Sunset Boulevard. This is how we call it. Want to walk me on the wall. [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] Hello. We shoot, huh? sandwich. [Music] How do you So, it’s time for me to go back and take the bus back to FA, which is where I’m staying. Yeah. Is is amazing. It’s really beautiful. It’s quite magical, to be honest. I really like here or oya. How do you say? Because I heard people saying oya. People saying ear because someone from here called the ear. So I think it’s here. Anyways, um it is beautiful, magical and uh there are lots of really interesting shops as well, but a huge differentiation between people that decide to go for a luxury holiday and you know spending so much money I guess for prime locations. Some of the people are actually enjoying the sunset from a private swimming pool uh just in front of the you know the the room in the hotel and that’s probably super expensive. So you don’t need to do that if you don’t want to. But yeah, there is a quite interesting differentiation in that that is very apparent, you know, here in here. But um it’s very beautiful. I still recommend staying in Fra though because the bus station is close to the main bus station is close to FA. It’s less crowded and cheaper. I hope you enjoy this vlog. And next is going to be a vlog on the beaches in Santorini, which I’m going to actually visit tomorrow and the day after. I probably going to go do just one video on them. So yeah, stay tuned for that. And uh subscribe if you haven’t yet. Like it because that helps a lot. And uh thanks for being here. Bye. It does. So as well [Music] Morning [Music] guys. I’m ready to go to a boat tour to visit the volcano of Santorini. But let’s go. I’m late as usual. As usual, my hotel is not exactly in the center of FA. It’s uh like 10 minutes walk from it, but uh um the two people are going to pick me up close to another hotel. I’m in the bus now. [Music] Hey, [Music] I’m now on the boat. It goes up and down quite a lot. It’s quite wavy today. It’s a bit rough. [Music] We are about to arrive to the island of Namel from where we’re going to start a hiking guided tour to the top. It’s going to be about 1.3 kilometers and at the top there’s going to be an active volcano which is incredible. Leave your personal belongings under your seat, but please take with you your valuables and your wallet. So, we are going to climb this island on the top, which is where the active volcano is. It should take about 30 minutes. These stones must be lava. Very black. The entrance is 5 per person, so remember to bring some cash. God, the scenery is amazing, though. And there is a little bit of sun out now. that way. [Music] This is the first stop. Then we will keep going that way. Good morning everybody. Good morning. Bonjour. So we’re going to start with the complex of Santorini. Santorini is a complex of five islands. So it’s Santorini the main island and Nakami where we are. Paleakami in this direction, Asproni in this direction and then behind us it’s Tasia. So uh a little explanation of the names. So, Santorini, Santorini, it’s not a Greek name. Santorini, it’s an Italian name because uh Santorini and the complex of Ciclades Islands where we are were under the Venetian occupation between the 14th and the 16th century. So, the Venetians used an old fort right next to the old church of Sirene. So, they named the the island after Sirene. Santrea has been transformed to Santorini, but it’s not the official name of the island. The official name of the island is Fra. This is why you see it on your tickets. Please don’t confuse the with the I know they are very similar, but it’s two different things. So, Fra is the island we describe the island, but Fra is the capital of the island. So, it’s a very new island and it is a result of a volcanic eruption. A volcanic eruption that started right from this crater behind us which is now inactive translates into the white island and that’s because at the top of the islands it’s totally white. This is the original crater from u where the island originated. about 500 years ago. And obviously the island m made mainly of lava. [Music] We’re getting there, guys. This is not very steep, but if you come with the tour, it’s done quite quickly, you know. So, plus the heat it’s kind of, you know, moderate. [Music] [Music] Can you see the smoke? This is the only active crater of this volcano. It does smell of sulfur. So the scient eruption was back in 1950. The huge eruption not a big eruption back in 1950 and uh the last big earthquake in the island was in 56 years. But you go on top of a volcano active volcano actually. Uh yeah I’m doing it. Um can get me a little bit nervous thinking about it. Um, but all because we know that there have been some episodes not here but in other parts of the world where tourists went to see active volcanoes and actually volcano erupted in the end and uh there been some uh you know it was a catastrophe. I I’ll try to find the documentary I watched about that. Not to make you anxious, but you know, it’s interesting to know this kind of stuff. Anyways, what you think? It is worth the hike. And it’s really beautiful up here. Now, we are going to the very top from where we can get views of the islands, one of them, Terrasia. And we’ll go to Terasia later. This is a tour of six hours. There are different options with this tour operator. You can do a 4 hours tour, I think, just of the volcano. 6 hours to go to Terrasia as well and uh 10 if you want to go and visit Oya as well. And you’re going to get the sunset there. But let me show you because the views are incredible. Hope you enjoy as well. We are now at the top. This is the summit. Let’s touch it. We made it here. Now, let’s go and take a look at the islands. [Music] Take my mind and run with you. [Music] You shine so bright. in your blue shoes. What do you guys think? Do you like here? I was not expecting to do this kind of activity in Santorini to be honest. I’m not I’m not sure that is very much, you know, advertised or known. Santorini is considered the place where you go, you know, in luxury hotel and just relax in this swimming pool with the view. But actually there are some quad adventure kind of experiences you can do. At least this one. At least one. It’s already time to go back. It’s been a bit of a rush, but yeah. Now we are going to the hot springs for a swim. [Music] Hey, hey, hey. [Music] You don’t want [Music] [Music] Oh, [Music] I love you. Oh. Oh. I I love you. [Music] down below. Okay guys, this swim was actually pretty amazing. It’s quite for a long time, so it was not rushed this time. [Music] Okay guys, we are at the final stop of this tour, the island of Verasia. And we have three options here. We can go and eat in one of these restaurants. There are a few fish restaurants. Look really yummy. But you know, I had a pack lunch from this morning and I had it during my tip here. But the food looks amazing. Let me show you a moment. The looks amazing. And it’s really pretty as well. It’s really nice. So, the second option is being in here. And I think I’m going to actually give it a try. The water is very clear and looks very peaceful and nice. And the third option is going up the hill to the village at the top. And it’s about 100 It’s 188 steps going up, which is okay. But I think I’m just going to stay here and hang out downstairs. I mean, uh, here close to the sea. Maybe go swimming a bit. It’s lovely. This place does smoothies. I might come back later. They look amazing. Yeah. Thank you. I might come back in a bit. Yes. Okay. Yes, we have kebab. How much is the kebab? Nice. Thank you. I was worried that there was no food here and uh there’s plenty plenty of food but it’s okay. Had my sandwich was actually fine. Hello. Welcome. Hi. Oh god, look how cute is this. A hello. Oh my god, it’s so beautiful. This is the way to go up. And as I said, it’s kind of doable, but um I want to stay down. There’s so much variety here. Lots of fish and meat. Yum. Oh, I wish I didn’t eat. So pretty as well. It’s lovely. Hello. Hello. Hello. They’re treated well for sure with all of this fish here. Oh my gosh. [Music] We’re now arriving to the meal. [Music] I think I found my swimming spot. Let’s see. Yes. Okay, guys. It’s very much time to do a change of uh shoes. And thankfully, I brought with me my rock shoes. It’s incredible. So, so good. It’s time for me to go back to the boat to for the final trip back to Fra and I might have an ice cream before going. I just want to say this was probably one of my favorite tour boat trips ever because I had enough time to do everything. Honestly, here in Terasia, we had 2 hours. I was able to swim twice and there would have been enough time also for a good lunch. And if you want some fish or even meat, eat here if you come. So, honestly, this time I really really recommend it. It was a bit of a rush on the volcano, but the rest was perfect. So, I hope you enjoyed and I’ll see you next time. Thanks. Bye. I ain’t water.
