Santorini in The Winter anyone?

It’s no secret that these Instagram picture postcode places are best photographed in the height of summer but at What price is a trip into Oia or Fira to take that illusive shot of the blue dome buildings.

I know first-hand having visited the beautiful Santorini that the summer is absolutely packed and the prices are typically double or triple that you would pay in the winter or Spring.

There are so many wonderful Cities in the med where climates in March and April can reach 20+ degrees.

I personally think there is huge appeal here as the main thing that matters is perfect blue sky’s not necessarily hot weather.

There are a multitude of cruise companies that have options in Greece in March and October where cruise only prices start at just £499 Per Person for inside cabins.

Venice and Santorini have reported huge overcrowding and if you have ever queued for a cable car ride in Santorini you would certainly welcome fewer people to share the view with.

Is everything still open in The Winter?

Well according to a recent cruise review on cruise.co.uk my customer experience Santorini, Athens and Mykonos in March and she had 22 degree heat and very few people to share the experience with.

Restaurants in Santorini are very expensive mostly due to the view on top of the Volcano overlooking the picturesque view of the med.

MSC have now launched 7-night cruises from April all the way through to September taking in a new port each day with some fantastic prices that include Free Balcony experiences

I ask this…. is it now time to forget about a scorching hot summer in the Med and book onto a cruise or hotel in Winter?

I would love to hear your thoughts on this.

For me personally I often get more satisfaction from spending less and having a city surprise me with value no matter what time of year.
