We were there 2 weeks ago, since none of my partner and I have drivers license so the public transport works for us, we managed to navigate though..definitely wanna go back someday.

Just come back from santorini. Oia isnt expensive as people make out. Somethings were even cheaper than fira. Like soft drinks for 1.50 a bottle while fira charge 2.00 euro Best gyro and souvlaki also in oia. Not them recommend places in fira like luckis and the other place opposite mcdonalds Buses also give change. All buses now give change. Greeks are very honest people. U pay exacty what it says on menu. They always give you receipt even when when i dont need one because they want to make sure i know im not being over charged. Hotel quality, fira was better even though cheapsr. My hotel in oia didnt have hot water. 500euro a night no hot water and teethbrush provided.
