Voice of Travelers to Santorini

Short trip to visit my father in Santorini

I am Maripov from Greece Mainland. Last week, I visited father who relocated to Santorini and overally, the travel experience was fantastic. I bought my ticket online after a referral from a friend on where to get cheap tickets. The cheapest ticket to Santorini was by Ryanair compared to tickets by other airlines. Ryanair is a pet friendly and accepted vaccinated cats and dogs thus I bought a ticket for my dog Abby. With a travel ticket, the airline allowed free check-in for the first and second bags. The airline has incredible services, actually I am planning to buy a ticket for my father to visit me in Athens.

Wine tasting visit to Santorini

I am Bonhardt from California. My friends and I are fans of tasting different types of wine. We travel throughout the world to taste different types of wine. Last year, me and two other friends visited Santos Winery in Santorini. We had planned for it from early last year and timed for the cheapest ticket to Santorini. We searched online for the cheapest ticket six weeks prior our departure to Santorini. Ticket to Santorini was cheaper six weeks before our travel time and it is advisable to purchase your ticket six weeks before traveling. On ticket comparison, cheapest ticket toSantorini was by United Airlines. Their flights attendants were friendly and offered great beverages that I guess was satisfying to everyone. The wine tasting experience was pleasantly nice and we are planning again as a group to purchase ticket to visit Santorini again next year to enjoy the winery event.
