Seconding this.
I was recently for 2 weeks in Santorini, which is considered pretty expensive compared to the rest of Greece, and everything was actually very affordable (esp. if you learn to keep your distance from the more tourist-infested areas).
The whole time during my stay I kept thinking how nice it would be to work from there. Clear blue sky, beaches and fresh grilled fish. Wow.
- StavrosK 7y agoYeah, spending four months working from the beach is basically why I haven't left already. There are some amazing places in a one-hour radius.
- saiya-jin 7y agoI can't recommend Crete enough. Spent out 2nd part of honeymoon there last month, its big, variable, great food, overall cheap, great history, the weather is milder compared to many other Greek islands and even in September the sea had 26 degrees. High mountains, deep gorges (Samaria was the highlight), probably the best olive oil in whole Europe (but this is valid for whole Greece). OK back to work, that dreamy look on my face is pretty revealing
- jhoechtl 7y agoI have been to santorini this summer. It's an area which is not comparable to the rest of greece. A raxi to dea sunset during the afternoon can easily be 30 eur and we are talking about a distance of 7 km. Maybe off-season it's affordable. But combined with Mykonos it's an area where the term highway robbery comes ro mind.
- AtlasBarfed 7y agoIsn't the weather extremely bikeable? or are the roads super dangerous for that?
- gruturo 7y agoThe roads are indeed super dangerous in my opinion (I rented a scooter once and truly feared for my life when huge buses lost their patience and overtook me during switchbacks, after that experience only cars!) and additionally you really need to be in amazing shape to bike there - steep climbs everywhere, under a hot sun.
