Do you have any tips for my flight to Santorini?
If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a hassle-free start to your getaway in Santorini. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • It's simple — first, pack in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are some terrific options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by donning layers, and wear easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Santorini?
The secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Santorini in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

  • Keep your passport and boarding pass close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
  • All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.

There are private car services available on the island if you’re looking for something a little more luxurious – but do book your taxi in advance as there are a limited number on the island and they are in high demand during the peak season.

What Are the Must-Sees in Santorini?

The main attraction in Santorini is the landscape itself. The result of a giant volcanic explosion, the top was literally blown off the island forming a flooded crescent caldera. Some say it was this that inspired the myth of the lost city of Atlantis.

Towns such as Fira and Oia cling to the steep cliff sides, with white-washed buildings cascading down to the water. And the sunsets here are the stuff of legend. Pick your spot, order a cocktail and marvel as the sun disappears into the sea of behind the volcanic crater.

Around the island you’ll also find cave houses, vineyards (one of the world’s oldest can be found here) and tiny chapels to explore. You can also catch a boat around the island to visit the hot springs.
