There is a private boat tour of the hotel. I didn’t choose this tour because it was expensive and it didn’t go to the hot springs. I found the tour myself on GetYourGuide and applied for it. The tour car came to pick me up. It was a tour by a company called Sunset Oia. 5-hour Diamond Cruise. The cost was 230 EUR per person. We will move to the western end of Oia by bus. To a place called Amoudi Bay port. About 10 minutes from the hotel. There are many other tours, so there are many people. I got a Diamond Cruise sticker. There is a cafe run by the tour company we are participating in. Various boats and yachts. The sea is beautiful. Boarding a luxury catamaran yacht. Take off my shoes and board the boat. A catamaran yacht for 20 people. Semi-outdoor sofas and tables. Sofas and tables inside as well. The interior is calm. After listening to the tour explanation and precautions, we departed at 9:30am. A wonderful view of the caldera of Oia. We can clearly see how the white-painted buildings were built on the cliffs. The Sunset Oia logo. Unlimited water and soft drinks. Double bed. There is also a toilet and shower room. There is a cockpit on the upper deck. We can also sit on the sofa on the upper deck. The village of Oia is getting farther away. Nearby is the island of Therasia, which is also part of the Santorini archipelago. Oia is on the main island of Santorini (Thira), which is shaped like a crescent moon. One of the great things about the tour is that we can see the view of Santorini from the sea. The yacht is also equipped with catamaran nets. The yacht is currently moving to Nea Kameni (an island of volcanic origin). Nea Kameni is located almost in the center of the Santorini archipelago. Nea Kameni is an uninhabited island, and there are tours that take you ashore. Today, we will not land on the island, but will experience the hot springs. The hot springs are usually kept at a temperature of 30°C to 35°C (86°F to 95°F). This warm temperature is due to active volcanic activity underground on the island. We will enter the hot springs using a cylindrical sponge. The hot spring water is rich in minerals such as sulfur, iron, and manganese, which are thought to have various therapeutic effects. The hot spring water is cloudy. The water temperature felt less than 30°C (86°F). After coming out of the hot springs, soft drinks and sandwiches were prepared. I will have a cola. Next, we will move to the southwest of the main island of Santorini (Thira). At the southwestern end is the Akrotiri Lighthouse. It is a great tourist spot to enjoy the sunset and sea views. We will go to a beach in the southern part of the main island of Santorini (Thira). Over there is White Beach. There are white rocks there, so it stands out. There is a white-painted building on the cliff, but it doesn’t seem to be particularly famous. After White Beach is Red Beach. Reddish brown rocks came into view in the distance. As the name suggests, it is famous for its red sand, and is a popular tourist spot. The red sand is due to iron oxide contained in the volcanic rocks exposed around the beach. You can enjoy swimming, snorkeling, hiking, etc. On the tour, we don’t go to the beach, but enjoy snorkeling. Beautiful blue sea. The seawater is quite cold. Looking into the sea, there are more fish than I expected. Snorkeling is surprisingly fun. Preparations for lunch have started. From here, we return to the starting point. To White Beach again. White Beach is a fairly narrow beach. Next to it is another Mesa Pigadia beach. Lunch is just when we are getting hungry. There are 10 types of food. We have fish, meat, penne pasta, and bread. It was surprisingly delicious. We headed back, enjoying the view of the Aegean Sea and Santorini. I also had ice cream. Around the port. Cruise ships are docked. From Fira to Oia. Oia is located 70 to 100 meters (230 to 330 feet) above sea level. It stretches for about 2 kilometers along the edge of the caldera. From the yacht, we can see the caldera and the village of Oia beautifully. It is a pretty beautiful photo. To the Amoudi Bay port. The reddish-brown volcanic rocks are amazing. I was satisfied with the tour. I’m glad we chose the public boat tour instead of the hotel’s. On the way back, we will be picked up from the port to the hotel. The car mainly runs on the roads north of Oia. Back to the hotel room. When we got back to the room, it was nicely cleaned. The water was refilled, and new towels and bathrobes were prepared. The good thing about this room is that it has an outdoor hot tub. Next, we will go for a walk around the village of Oia. The hotel is located on the eastern edge of the village of Oia. Let’s walk west. There are few tourists on the roads near the hotel. Restaurants. Rental cars. Tour agencies. Another agency called SPIRIDAKOS. A market called PERIVOLAS. The market has the same name as the hotel, but what is the relationship? Drinks and foods. Daily necessities and various other items are sold here. A few minutes walk from the hotel, tourists start to appear here and there. It is not yet the center of Oia. There are other hotels and other things. Canaves Oia Suites is a popular 5-star hotel in Oia. This is also an area with fewer tourists, so it seems good. There are many cars parked in the small square. If you come by car or bus, you will usually come here. There is an ATM. Walk straight down the walkway and we will reach the centre of Oia. There is also a tour agency here. There are many fashion shops and souvenir shops. Shops selling souvenirs, daily necessities, and fashion items. They sell a variety of items. Katikies is also a popular 5-star hotel. There is a local supermarket. AGORA, a clothes and accessories shop. Let’s go inside. There are various clothes, accessories, and souvenirs. It is not a high-end brand, so it is easy for tourists to buy. A jewelry shop called PONIROS. A high-end lifestyle brand shop called Andronis Major. There is also a hotel nearby. Sunset Oia, the tour agency we just joined. The tour we just joined. Bakery. A gorgeous red carpet. This is an art gallery. Going further in. The view changes quite a bit depending on the location in Oia. Blue eye items are sold here. Blue eye items are often seen in Greece and Turkey. Souvenirs from Santorini. There are many ornaments of the blue dome church. Souvenirs of blue eye amulets (for protection from evil). We will go to see the blue dome church later. The number of tourists is gradually increasing. Not only white-painted buildings, but also pink buildings can be seen. There are various cafes and restaurants.

The scenery changes completely depending on the location. Quite crowded. There is a famous photo spot in the back, and there is a line. Let’s go further in. We waited for about 30 minutes that day. Up ahead is the scenery of Santorini, which is often used on postcards. The famous three blue domes. Let’s take a picture here. Impressive view. It is a tourist spot that you cannot miss in Santorini. There are many tourists gathered at the three blue domes, so it is easy to find the location. Performances are being performed. There are also swimsuit shops. It is quite west of Oia village. It is a very narrow passageway. The pink buildings are impressive. We have reached the western end of Oia village. Ocean view to the west. Church of the three bells. Let’s go to Oia Castle at the western end. At the western end of Oia, there is a 15th century Venetian fortress that stands on the cliff. The Venetians built Oia Castle in the early 1500s as a strategic defense against pirate invasions. Located at the northwestern end of the island, the castle had a great location to overlook the surrounding sea. From Oia Castle, we can see windmills. At the western end of Oia, there are many buildings in colors other than white. From here, we can see the whole village of Oia on the cliff. We can also see the whole crescent-shaped island of Santorini. Imerovigli and Fira. The volcanic caldera and the southern tip of Santorini. Most of Oia Castle was destroyed by earthquakes and is now in ruins. The remaining buildings exude majesty and mystery. Oia Castle offers a great sunset view, and tourists are already waiting. Transfer to a restaurant for dinner. One cat is sleeping in an amazing place. It gets more crowded as evening approaches. If we go off the path and go a little north… We’ll find a park.

This is the hotel reception. We have to walk up about 100 steps to the restaurant. There are hotel rooms along the way. When we go down the stairs, we will see a great view. There are two dining areas. The popular dining area is on the cape. It is open air and has a great view from the tables. By the way, the sunset is not very visible because it is blocked by the cliff.

Every dish was carefully prepared and it was a good restaurant. The romantic atmosphere and location were good. However, the price was a bit high. Dinner at Perivolas Hotel the previous day might have been better because we could see the sunset. Oia village at around 9pm. There are many tourists even at around 9pm. There are more places to enjoy nightlife in Fira than in Oia. Perivolas Hotel is about 1km away from the western end of Oia, about a 20-minute walk. It is a reasonable distance to walk from Perivolas Hotel to Oia village. When we get to the front of Perivolas Hotel, there are hardly any people and it is quite quiet. One of the features of Perivolas Hotel is its quiet environment. Infinity pool and restaurant. Return to the room. Turndown service was performed on this day and the bed was made. The pillows and mattresses are of normal hardness. There is something like Turkish delight. Despite being a cave hotel, the Wi-Fi was fast at 85Mbps. Take a break in the hot tub. The hot tub is comfortable at about 40 degrees. Night view from the hot tub. From here, we can’t see the three blue domes very well. The morning of the third day. A refreshing morning. The buffet menu is almost the same. Today’s homemade tart. Watermelon. Greek Blintzes. Scrambled eggs . Fluffy pancakes. Greek omelette. We checked out early and got a souvenir. It said PERIVOLAS. A charm? Because there is still time before checking into the next hotel. Go to the centre of Oia village. Oia in the morning. Go to a restaurant. The restaurant is called Alexios. Light meals and drinks menu. View from the restaurant. It felt different from before. Mixed juice, 10 EUR (11.7 USD). Prices are quite high. I looked around souvenir shops for a while and returned to the hotel around 1pm. I moved to the next hotel by taxi arranged by the hotel. I stayed at hotels in Imerovigli and Firostefani. I have already released videos of my stay at two hotels. After my stay in Santorini, I returned from Santorini airport. It is a small airport. Air France, departing at 2pm, bound for Paris. There is a duty-free shop, but there are few souvenirs of Santorini. If you want to buy souvenirs of Santorini, it is better to buy them in the villages of Oia or Fira. There are also fast food restaurants at the airport. Boarding the Air France plane. Takeoff. This trip to Santorini was a good trip. Thank you for watching.

Today we are going on a 3-day trip to Oia, a village on the Greek island of Santorini. Enjoy a stay at a 5-star luxury cave hotel (PERIVOLAS Hotel), a boat tour of hot springs and beaches, walking tour of oi a village, and dinner at romantic restaurants.
