Advantages: It must be the most photogenic place on the island. Disadvantages: Can be exspensive but you can visit for the day.
can get to Ia by taking a local bus from Thira ( Santorinis capital town) which only cost a few euros. If you are staying in one of the resorts like Perissa you will need to take a local bus to Thira and then from there catch the bus to Ia. Please take care at the bus depot as the buses there reverse without warning even when passengers are standing behind them queing for other buses.
You can also visit Ia by boooking a boat trip at your resort which provides coach transport to the port and then a day out which includes a viist to the volcanic island and drops you at the port of Ia in time for the sunset and you then catch a coach back. The coach depot is a bit caotic because of the number of coaches and people making their way there at the sametime for the trip back. It is best just to keep asking until you find the right bus for your ...

Santorini is a small group of volcanic islands located in the Aegean Sea about 200 km south-east from the mainland of Greece. The Greek islands are devided into island groups and Santorini belongs into the island group of the Cyclades. It's spread on 73 sq km and has a population of about 13,600 people.
1.) TRANSPORTATION
Buses: They were my main form of transportation for exploring the island.
The transfer between the airport (which is about 8 km away from Thira/Fira - »capital« of Santorini) was easy to find, there were plenty of buses that had hotel names written on them - so ...
Advantages: no mosquitos low key nightlife excellent beaches Disadvantages: none
Me and my husband always wanted to visit santorini famous for its volcanic black course sand and breattaking scenary not to mention visiting some of the beatiful churches which are used on most greek postcards.
We finally went last year with our 2 children to a resort called perivolos and stayed in a place called eleferia apartments. Now the journey time from thira airport was 45 minutes but wow to watch the scenery go by i was in heaven, the tour rep gave lost of interesting facts like there were over 2 hundred churches on their tiny island many are built for heroes of war or unreturning sailors and that they also believe the lost city of atlantis lies deep bellow the sea once being part of their lovely island.
Perivolos beach is a long narrow beach full of umbrellas and sunbeds with lots of bars tavernas and shops and very child ...
