Dear Sir or Madame, my name is Jose Rocha i been in so many places around the world and this time i decided choose something with a very alive nightlife and so good like Ios nightlife as it says in so many travellers reviews on Internet, i'm planing going there alone by first time for a month in Holiday in SEP., i love very alive nightlife full of action and surprises but before i go to any place around the world by first time i like always take some informations first to avoid get disappoint for any reason when i get there.
So even for a single man like me still worths going there alone for funny and my personal enjoyment, Ios because is countless wild parties should be somehow to be classified as a sex destination or not, how you classified the nightlife there between 1 to 5 stars, where's the main action in Ios, accommodation, drinks, food, transports, clothes, shoes and personal belongs is an affordable price compares with another main destinations in Europe, it's a place safe enough to anyone carry on money and expensive personal belongs with him to feel safe in special during the night or into any bar, what's the average ages of the most people going there, what's the first impressions when we get there, what i should expect when i get there as a newcomer, how's the weather during the year there, when is the best time to get there, how to get there when i arrive in Greece, definitely you think in your personal opinion Ios is the best party destination in Europe and finally what Ios has the good and bad?
I'll be very grateful if you could answers to all this questions for me pls!

We will be in Santorini in September and are considering walking from Fira to Oia. Our ship arrives at 1400 and leaves at 2200. First of all, is it easy enough to take a bus from Fira to Imerovigli then walk to Oia? Or better to walk from Fira to Imerovigli then take a bus to Oia? Then, if we eat a sunset dinner in Oia, is it easy to take a bus back to Fira, with plenty of time to get to our ship which leaves at 2200? Any and all suggestions will be appreciated. Also, actually how LONG is the walking from Fira to Imerovigli to Oia?

How is the party in Ios during those dates? Has any one been at that time? What can you share?

Is it possible to catch an 8:15 AM flight OUT of Athens if I am scheduled on a 7AM flight from Mykonos to Athens which is scheduled to arrive at 7:35 AM in Athens?

We are staying at Elia beach next month - and wondering if it is easy enough to get to Super Paradise or Paradise beach from there??? Elia does look nice - so may not be worth the effort!

Hi, my plane comes into santorini  from stockholm at 2am on a tuesday in July. Will taxis be readily available or should I prebook a transfer? Thanks

Hello everyone!

How is the food in Santorini? We'll be staying in Firostefani, not far from Fira, and hope to find some relaxing places for our meals; lunch and dinner. Also, for breakfast, we have the option of paying extra for it at our hotel, but might like to try a nearby bakery or other place instead. And if we are lucky, we can find a grocery store that sells take-away foods (cheese, fruit, bread...)

Thanks!

can i find tequilla to purchase in a retail store in paros

Hi, I'll be in Santorini for 3 days (early July) with a couple of friends and we're looking for a cheap/decent place to stay if possible. We found out that there's a lot of accommodations in Fira, Imerovigli and Perissa.

However, we'll still unsure of which area would be the best in terms of prices and its accessibility to other areas in santorini. Basically, our itinerary for the 3 days would be to explore around as much and also to relax and enjoy the sceneries. Hope to get some insights. =)

Is September a good time to visit Greek Islands?

Hi. I'll be traveling to Mykonos alone in early July - July 3rd through 11th. Would be great to meet up with some folks when there.

I will be travelling to Mykonos in July and plan to propose to my girlfriend while we are there, I have a few ideas whizzing about my head, but can anybody recommend any places, beaches, restaurants etc to give me a bit of starting point? Having never been before I'm going in completely blind, so any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Currently have 4 days booked in Santorini. Travelling on my own and starting to think that it will be too long. Thinking of going back to Mykonos for the other 2 days. More things to do for a single gay guy. Will 2 days be enough to see the sights of Santorini?

Please guide for each island. How to go about it for the individual islands?

Hi,

1. I would like to know the area where I can stay in Mykonos, when my requirement is to see the nightlife, shop, eat at restaurants, being able to make a trip to beaches. I really don't want to be in a beach resort where it might get difficult to go to town.

2. Any specific budget hotels, B&Bs where we can stay? We are going for our honeymoon.

Cheers!
Megha K.

We are a family of 9 including children.

This is our tentative schedule:

1st June Ferry from Athens to Mykonos 07:35 - 13:15
2nd June Ferry from Mykonos to Santorini 14:45 - 17:10
4th June flight to Athens and then on to Istanbul (Turkey).
Another option was that we could take the 01:25 am early morning ferry from Santorini to Athens (arrival 08:00 am), and then fly to Istanbul. (If advisable)

OR

We could reverse the process
1st June Piraeus to Santorini (Thira) 07:00 - 11:50 Star Jet
2nd or 3rd June Santorini to Mykonos 11:55 - 14:20 Super Jet
3rd June Mykonos to Athens ferry 16:00 = 18:50 Super Jet, or flight to Athens on 4th June from Mykonos
4th June Athens to Istanbul flight

I do not know of any other way to get to Istanbul from Mykonos or Santorini.

Please advise

Hi, I'm arriving in myconos in early may by ferry and travel to london same day. Is there a bus from the port directly to the airport? and where can i find the station?

also is it better to take a taxi? any estimates of the cost?

My cruiseship gets into port at 1:00pm and leaves at 9:00pm. How would I get to Delos?

Two questions about Mykonos:

We are considering renting a villa any advice for a family that includes a 3 year old?

Is there any Scuba diving?

Are there any archeological sites or cultural attractions, other than Delos, that can be done on a day trip?

Will anyone here be in Mykonos between April 26-May 1?

How do we get to Paradise Beach from Mykonos Town via Bus? What is the cost and the frequency of the buses on a Saturday in early May? What is the typical temperature at that time of year? Is this the nicest beach that is easy to get to? We are on a cruise ship and need to make sure we get back on time.

Hi! Am planning a 2/3 day trip to Mykonos in early June as part of a Greek Holiday with my wife & 12-yr old son. Would be arriving after a 2-day stop in Santorini & will move to Athens therafter. Just had a few questions:

1] Where should we base ourselves given the fact that we have only 2/3 days in Mykanos

2] Would love to enjoy a day on a beach - any suggestions where we shld be headed? Or would the beach options in Santorini be better?

3] Is the 3rd day in Mykonos a good idea - alternatively we could cut down the trip to 2 days and spend an additional day in Santorini (we currently plan to spend 2 days there)

Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi! Am planning a 2 day trip to Santorini in early June as part of a Greek vacation - would be travelling with my wife & 12-yr old son. Since we have only 2 days, where shld we base ourselves - Fira or Oia? We would be arriving by ferry from Crete & would be moving to Mykonos from Santorini. Our main objective is to enjoy the breathtaking sunset that Santorini is famous for.

Hi, I'll be in Santorini for 5 nights in June. Which part is best recommended for honeymoon? Fira, Oia or Akrotiri? We are looking for nice hotel with a view. Anyone could help? =)
