Things to Look Out For
Book the fast ferry early
The Cyclades run on ferries, and the fast catamarans between Mykonos and Santorini sell out in high summer. Book the crossing the moment your dates are fixed, not on arrival. The fast boats do the hop in a couple of hours; the slow ones take most of a day. Sit inside in a meltemi wind, when the open Aegean gets choppy enough to spoil the deck.
The Oia sunset is a scrum
Everyone on Santorini converges on Oia for the famous sunset, and the lane to the castle ruins becomes a slow-moving crowd an hour before. Either claim a spot. Or a bar terrace with a view. Well ahead, or skip the scrum entirely and watch from Imerovigli or your own caldera-side hotel. The light is the same; the elbows are optional.
Eat where the menu has no pictures
The tavernas right on the Mykonos and Santorini photo-spots charge for the view and cook to the crowd. Walk two streets back, find the place with handwritten Greek-only specials and locals at the tables, and the grilled fish, the horiatiki, the slow-cooked lamb are a different order of good. Lunch is the long, late meal here; dinner starts after nine.

Plan Your Timing
When to Go
Greece in the islands is a shoulder-season country. May into June, and September into early October, give you warm sea, open tavernas and bearable crowds. The sweet spot. July and August are hot and packed, with the meltemi wind whipping the Aegean and Santorini's lanes shoulder-to-shoulder; go then only if school holidays force it. Athens and the mainland sights are fine year-round, but winter on the islands is wet and quiet, with many hotels and ferries shut down until spring.
