- I’m Santorini Dave. This site is built on one simple principle: to provide the most detailed, honest, and helpful travel advice for Greece you can find anywhere. My promise to you is built on first-hand expert advice, obsessively detailed and unbiased content, and a commitment to helping you have the best trip of your life.
Dave’s website has helped us to plan two amazing trips to Greece. With flawless instructions we have travelled around like locals. A must for Greece and so many other countries as well. Thank you!!!

- My email is dave@santorinidave.com. I truly love hearing from my readers and personally spend countless hours every week answering questions. Due to the high volume of inquiries, I can’t get to every single one, but I do my best to provide detailed, helpful answers to as many people as possible. The best place to ask a question is in the comments section of a relevant blog post, as the answer can then help other travelers as well.
By far… the MOST helpful blog on the internet regarding travel. Thank you for answering all of my questions!!!!! And for helping make deciding on where to stay so much easier.

Every hotel and restaurant recommendation made by Dave was phenomenal. We were thrilled.

- A Commitment to Giving Back: I am proud to be an official partner of GiveDirectly. For every hotel stay booked through my site, I donate $5 to this top-rated charity that sends cash directly to families living in extreme poverty.
