c You really need to
know that in Santorini the water is not
drinkable. Always use bottled water to
drink. You can cook and bath with the
regular water though.
|
c
It is very difficult to find a taxi or a bus
at the airport or the port so make sure you
will book a transportation before you come
or you night find yourself waiting for hours
in the heat and end up to overcharged.
|
c
Last year 25 weddings where cancelled either
because the "wedding planer" took the
deposits and run or because the "wedding
planner was not a wedding planner and messed
up with the legal documents requirements! Be
careful...the Greek laws are very strict and
maybe you will find many that organize
weddings but they are not the right people
to trust. Choose a certified wedding planer
and not hotels and restaurants or foreigners
who they are not even registered with our
Ministry of Tourism or they don't even leave
here or year around. It is your wedding
after all! Do you want to take the chance?
|
c
Visiting the volcano requires to have with
you water, light clothes, sport shoes and a
very good sun tan lotion. The volcano is the
ocean so you can go there with a local boat.
Also you can swim to the Hot Spinks.
|
c
Banks are open from 8 am to 2 pm, Monday to
Friday and the ATM's give you only 300 euro,
unless you have specifically asked your bank
to open the limit for your trip.
|
c In case you
will need to visit our local hospital,
please note that it is free of charge.
|
c In
Santorini we do not have street name or
addresses so make sure that you will have
the phone number of your accommodation.
