Frequently asked questions
- Is 5 days enough for Santorini?
- Five days is the sweet spot for most first-time visitors — enough to slow down without rushing every viewpoint.
- Do I need a rental car?
- Not if you book private tours and transfers. Parking in Oia/Fira is stressful in peak season.
- What about a volcano boat trip?
- Popular add-on; we can advise timing so it does not clash with your sunset or flight.
