Top Local Tips for Santorini

Take the bus The bus runs very frequently between Fira and Ia and other part of the islands. You can pretty much tell them to stop where ever if it's outside of the city. Although it could be crowded during the afternoon and you may need to stand, but it is only 20 mins ride

Food to die for If you have the time, try a meal at the 1800 which is on the main pedestrian throughfare in Oia. The experience and high standards of service & food are worth every Euro.

Steps and stairs I had read some poor reviews about places in Santorini having too many steps and stairs. You're on the edge of an exploded volcano, and, if you're lucky, staying on the caldera side with the most incredible views. Stairs and steps are a given in Oia. If you can't manage them, carrying your luggage, pack less or go somewhere closer to sea level. If you can climb some stairs, you'll never regret it. It's AMAZING!
