Do you know about crowds in Sept/Oct?  I'm thinking to book for either next May or Sept/Oct.  I definitely want to avoid the crowds.  I live in Orlando, tourist central, and know what summer crowds are like, lol.  

Everyone we spoke to said Greece is phenomenal in September/October- still warm out, water is warm enough to swim, and not a ton of tourists left!

Beautiful photos!  Greece is now on my bucket list!

Amazing!  Are you using euros or credit card for food/drinks, etc?

Euros. We do have one card without transaction fees but it’s for a large purchase and/or emergency.

When you have a moment - 

so it is tender from ship TO speed boat to Oai coast area (tickets?) TO an uphill walk to bus (tickets?) TO Oai? On Pride in October, making copious notes. Ty. 

Hey. So tender from the ship to the Fira port. You will see shops selling the speed boat trip to Oia. 15 Euros each and it covers speed boat, bus up and bus back to Fira (up top).

Things that make you go ahhhhhhhhhh. 

And make you think, why didn't I use that VV credit to sail Greece?

[MeganGC1983]

Where was I? Oh yes a cocktail. After that we walked around. And grabbed another cocktail. And I made a friend.

Megan - I don't know if you have heard of DK Oyster in Platys Gialos on Mykonos.  According to a few articles I have read online they are a famous tourist rip off place.  People have been charged $800 for dinner there.  Just a heads up.

[Stem to Stern]

We carefully walked down with the donkeys.  Hate long lines.  The walk wasn’t a hateful exercise.

Yeah I found a tip online somewhere that you also should always take a picture of the menu before ordering, because if you get your bill and the prices are higher and ask for the menu, they’ll give you a menu with the higher prices that match your inflated bill 🤦‍♀️

Awesome pictures of Santorini! Ever since I saw the movie "Summer Lovers" back in the 80's, I've always wanted to go there! 😁

[LatinaInTexas]

Catching up on the day you had with the stunning pics. All the white makes everything look so clean and pristine, so pretty. I would be pinching myself also to make sure it's not all a dream.

So beautiful - thanks for sharing!

And your new friend is kinda cute 🥰🤭

We were there last October and Oia was so packed.  I can't believe you were able to get such great pictures without people in the way.
