Is Santorini Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Solo travel

My stay in Santorini was so nice and I felt very safe. The locals were nice too. The hostel I stayed in was in Fira, but I spent most of my time in the kamari beach. The food was great and I recommend going to oia for the sunset

Crowds (I visited off-season, so it's scary to think about how it is during the peak season), the food is much worse than on other Greek islands, prices are also much higher, not many places to explore, and the beaches are quite average. I have visited several different places in Greece, and I regret those few days in Santorini.

In my opinion, a postcard from Greece takes your breath away with its atmospheric white towns. The island, in my opinion, is more for sightseeing and walking than for beach activities. The beaches here are not particularly impressive; there are not many places with turquoise waters. And, in my opinion, it is the least Greek of all the islands.

I did not have high expectations when it came to Santorini. I was afraid that it would be heavily overhyped. But I completely fell in love with it. We stayed in the town of Fira, which is the capital of the island and an ideal base. It has excellent bus connections from the airport, and from here you can easily reach any attraction on the island. On the first day we walked all around Fira, and compared to other towns that we visited on the island, it is really bustling and lots of things are happening there. I recommend walking from Fira to the town of Imerovigli. The sunset is beautiful. The next day we spent in Oia. We also visited Red Beach and Perissa Beach for a bit of sunbathing.

I went for two nights/three days, but I wouldn't bother going back there again. This place is definitely too small, there is nothing to do there, and the number of tourists is so great that moving around the cities is real hell.

Santorini is very tourist-oriented and crowded. It's overwhelming. When cruise ships arrive, you literally feel like they're all packed like sardines. However, it was very beautiful there, but also very expensive, especially the accommodation and food. I spent double the amount in 2 days on Santorini compared to my 5 days in Athens.

I loved Santorini - I hiked from Fira to Oia and took a boat trip to the volcano, hot springs, and then watched the sunset. I felt very safe.

Solo travel

Santorini is beautiful, but very crowded. Despite this, I did a walking trek from Fira to Oia (about 5-6 hours) and it was stunning. There were hardly any people on the trails, and the views were breathtaking.

Santorini was a disappointment, as it seemed like a less authentic place, too crowded with cruise ships, but it was very, very beautiful. I recommend getting up early to see Oia and avoid Fira/Oia during the day.

Santorini is generally a very safe place. The locals are friendly and mind their own business. The only case you would feel harassed is by drunk tourists trying to flirt with you. Keeping that in mind, make sure you always have your drink and your friends close, and be aware of malicious males.
