SANTORINI IS STUNNING! FIRA TO OIA TRAVEL GREECE
good morning everyone today is another day on the beautiful island of santorini and today we're gonna go on a hike to a spot called oya so when we came here to santorini we were we were torn between staying in fiera where we stayed right now and oh yeah because a lot of people say that oya is a lot nicer but pharaoh was the capital and we ended up deciding just to stay here instead just to avoid any confusion the correct pronunciation of the place that we're visiting is called ear we only found out the correct pronunciation the day after film in this video so in the last video we walked down that way if you watch that video and today we're gonna be walking over that way i think it's about three hours right yeah three three hours hike but according to what we heard it's not uphill it's gonna be down here so i hope it's not very difficult yeah so only this part is uphill here and then i think after that village there it's all downhill also be able to check out that rock there skyross rock and we're still not sure if we're gonna be able to do the hike because we're feeling a bit ill right had a bit more too much to drink today we're a bit hungover but we still want to enjoy it because you know this place is so beautiful and yeah we'll try to make our best yeah yeah we said just one more drink about 10 different times and if you've said that 10 different times you're already screwed yeah so we'll start the hike and if we can't do it we'll just go to the road and get the bus because you can get a bus there i think it's only like 20 25 minutes overall so yes i don't think you can go wrong with any place that you choose to stay here in santorini along the coast anyway along this big coast because it's pretty much the same as fear isn't it yeah here is uh higher but i mean the views are amazing just just as the same as there and probably oil would be the same too with beautiful views yeah people say the views are even nicer there so we'll see but yeah this is just the same as fiera really just uh a lot more quieter there's more uh cruise ships today compared to the last video i think last video there's just one big one now there's like three three big ones there yeah look at those for some views i think this is actually more impressive than walking around fiera just because of how high we are yeah yeah i don't know everything is amazing inside to choose which is best so that right there is the skyross rock we're not going to walk all the way over to it because we can't really be bothered walking all the way back up yeah that's absolutely miles away so we're gonna have to walk all the way on that cliff there it's gonna take a while it seems and that rock used to be like a fortified village apparently there was a settlement there so that's one of like the oldest settlements and there are there are like ruins there the base of some of the buildings so we were wondering why did they build all these villages so high on the rocks because there are parts of santorini that are way lower and it was basically because of defense so in the past there used to be loads of pirates around here in the mediterranean and many times uh they invaded here they would get the locals as slaves i think they'd even get the women and sell them off to many other countries so yeah pretty gruesome but at least living up here there was a bit more uh protection and yeah they probably had time to at least try and escape they could see the pirates coming down there do wow look at these places then jump in yeah there's just so many like walking around here today just made us realize just how many hotels there are in santorini it's crazy pretty much all the buildings are hotels where do the locals live because everything that we see is a hotel yeah maybe in the center center of the island yeah mostly even that they're infinitely cool just everything here there's hotels i don't think any of them are houses in this place man carol we're gonna we're gonna make it over there ah i'm not sure kyle just wants to get a bus yeah and go back to my room oh not tawaya no just kidding i want to go there oh check out these accommodations guys it's like cave accommodations with pools inside like an artificial cave i don't think that's a real rock and now we pretty much left all the main villages so yeah i think there's just a cliff walk all the way around man it's just so impressive though i know i keep raving about this place in the videos though but it really is just incredible to see in person i never imagined it would have been this good seriously so i think the main thing is that like in pictures and videos you can't really grasp like the height no but once you are here you see it and it's just mind-blowing yeah it's funny because like while we are walking like every day we hear people wow wow like everybody is mind blown by this place that's why it's still good to go to touristy places we do like a lot of off the beaten path stuff as well but there is a reason why place is a touristy as well and that's because this place is spectacular so so far the trail isn't that bad at all even for two hungover people carol's still here half of carol is here yeah half a cow check this out now so now we can see both sides of the island so you can see the other side just seems to be more like farmland i think that's what it is so you don't see like any villages just a few buildings scattered around look at that too there's just a church here in the middle of nowhere it's like basically nothing around here man beautiful shade of blue yeah everything's beautiful here yeah greece is beautiful guys check it out dog squad yeah just all these dogs just knocked out what are these guys doing up here in the middle of nowhere on the trail they're all together oh they're so cute guardians of the church they're friendly doug no he looks worried that's a cute one and that is a bunch of lazy dogs right there so we're not too far away now so that last part there was pretty uphill because we dropped all the way down there it's like a slow uphill so it's not like super steep or anything so now over there you can see that village that we're in before with the with the rock there it's quite a long way still it's like it's going to take like 30 minutes 40 minutes still quite a bit to go and this part's cool look at this yet again another chapel in the middle of nowhere this time like a nice pink one got a cool yellow building over there as well so we've pretty much arrived now and it took about two hours and 50 minutes to get here so yeah we did pretty good on the time we didn't walk fast we even like stopped a few times so so far in the beginning it looks pretty much the same as like fiera and the other places that we pass through appearance-wise it's pretty much identical another vlogger maybe we appeared in this vlog yeah we're famous now the collab but i think so far it looks quieter here oh much quieter yeah but let's see how it is in the center maybe there will be busy as well still got the rooftops with little pools everywhere though and big pools i think that's one of the old windmills right yeah where are the the things oh the blades or whatever yeah it's been converted into a place to stay there's a few windmills around here that i can see another one there i think they've all been converted though another thing we forgot to mention as well is fiera has the main bus station so you can get to pretty much everywhere in just one bus right yeah from here you can get to the other towns but you need to uh change the bus inferior yeah yeah so probably if you don't have a car or anything uh fairer probably a bit better right more convenient yeah yeah i think so because the bus is also like super frequent no sometimes you have to wait for half an hour or an hour or more yeah it really depends but i think if you don't have a car maybe theater is better probably i guess this is the famous shot or something yeah i think yeah everyone lined up you got a good view of all the buildings yeah carol i have to take back what i said about it being not as busy i think it's pretty much the the same actually feels like more even yeah maybe this area because it's very narrow narrow and everybody's stopping to take pictures so you have to walk like this avoiding the pictures of the other people dodge the people yeah so i think that back there is the castle and that's like a really popular sunset spot probably check it out later on there's supposed to be an area where you can swim around here at bay so yeah that's where we're heading right now trying to find it in the maze lost in the maze yeah even with google maps you can't find your way around these places wait this way where is the bay it's down here i think so oh yeah i think it is it's that one down there just need to find the stairs i can't expect to see these guys around here big horses yeah big horses one thing certain it's not gonna be very fun walking back up here later on and i think we're gonna have a lunch down here as well there's some restaurants down there i don't see anyone swimming we wanted to swim you see anyone swimming no you'll have to see if there's a place where you can enter ah so this area looks real nice so just loads of restaurants everywhere so we got a lot of choices seems pretty laid back down here as well that water looks extra beautiful as well the color wasn't like that at the beaches check this out here the octopus drying or something i don't know what they're doing hello she said to go through the restaurant and there's like some uh hello i think there's like some cliffs on the other side where we can swim kind of funny walking through a restaurant though invading the restaurant wow look at this spot maybe we need to eat here right on the ocean okay i think the cold dip is gonna be the hangover cure yes i'm very excited for that really it's beautiful the color down there though so that's one of the other islands that were separated by the volcanic eruption a couple thousand years ago some buildings on that one as well so i think all the islands have uh some buildings some people live in there i need to work out where we can enter i don't know if you can just go in here seems a bit rough ah finally mission accomplished we already know this is going to be pretty cold yeah no way really to put your feet i think it's deep enough to jump i can't tell how deep it is just go for it girl that's the best way to go and not smoothly straight in it gets nice though better than the heat this is refreshing refreshing cow too refreshing man it sure awesome swimming with those views of the villages up there and we walked all the way from over there what a place so so we found a great spot here still in amodi bay so right now we just got the stardust i think that's for free it was just included bread what was this like salsa or something yeah it's so i don't know what it is but it's good it's good and the other one is good as well with the garlic yeah this spot was great as well i didn't realize there'd have a so many restaurants like this on the front pretty much every building is a restaurant isn't it the whole season so we ended up going for the fish the fresh fish this is a sea bass they let you uh decide which fish you wanted inside and it's 57 euros overall and that's for two people also has this as well yeah so we were in the mood for some fish here in greece and it should be sunset soon very cloudy though so i don't know how that's going to be sometimes the clouds make it better though so we're making our way up now gonna head to the bus station it does look like we're gonna get a bit of a sunset yeah carol you're saying about the windmill oh yeah there's one yeah that's cool and look at the castle there just people lined up probably won't go there actually with all the people pretty much the same viewers here anyway could just hang around here that's funny right because in like fiera there's only a few people right yeah because i think over there you have more spots but here since it's like curved so i don't know it's more like yeah all the way down at all so i would say though that the views of the village is probably nicer than fiera because like carol said it kind of like small and bends around so you get better views it wasn't much of a sunset was there today we didn't see the touchdown but it's still beautiful but imagine being on those boats where you have to pay like 120 dollars per person and then you don't see it i wouldn't like to be there today yeah all the other days we had sunsets every day right like good ones only today so we're back at our apartment now we just got a bus and that was one euro 60 which was the same price that we paid to go to kamari down south the beach there so maybe a lot of the bus trips around here are around that price and we ended up walking around goya for a bit longer and yeah i think it did win us over overall we do think there is better than fairer it just seems to be like more cozy i don't know just seemed a bit nicer and we also like the fact that you can swim there and the bay was really nice there is a port though here in fera that we didn't go down to i don't know if you can swim there possibly you can't so yeah i'm not sure maybe someone can comment if they know if you can swim in the old port of fera and we just absolutely love santorini as you could see and we're already thinking about coming back here next year there's a lot more to do there's so many other areas that we haven't seen we haven't really done that much really and tomorrow morning we're heading to another island called milos we're getting the ferry there and yeah we'll probably film that to show how the ferry travel is since that's one of the main ways that people go between the islands so that'll be the next video coming up if
