Is it better to rent a car for Road trip or take public transportation in Santorini? If 4 people are Road trip, they can only rent an SUV. Are the roads only suitable for small cars? We will stay 1 night in Oia and 1 night in Fira for 3 days and 2 nights. Renting a car should be more convenient, right ?

Road trip is convenient. We are in a hurry and have only three days. It is convenient to drive around. We can drive around every corner. It's also okay for a small car for 4 people. Put the luggage in the trunk and hold it in your seat.

Parking is inconvenient in Yia.

There are many big cars on the island, but many places are narrow, so smaller cars are more convenient. If you just visit the different towns and do not go to the beach, the bus may also be okay, as the distances are not too far. I rented a car, so I do not know if the bus is convenient.

Stay one night on each side, and it is recommended to rent a car.

When I rented a car on the 18th, the car rental company charged more than 700 euros in consumption (which was actually a deposit). When I returned the car on the 28th, I said it would be refunded within a week. Today, I checked and my credit card still shows more than 700 euros as "unaccounted". What is going on ? Greece Q&A

In summary, the schedule is too tight, I'm not sure how much time I have left to play, but the days are late in Greece, it's not until 8 o'clock at night that it gets dark, and it doesn't matter if you go late to places without tickets, it takes a long time to get to Meteora from there, whether it's from Athens or your itinerary from Meteora to Delphi, your estimated time will definitely be exceeded, considering that you have six people, you must stop in the middle, driving too fast is tiring and unsafe. Mystras needs to be repaired in the castle on the mountain and the monastery below, Monemvasia also has a castle on top of the mountain and a town crossing, they are all not small, they need a lot of time, I think each point a day is very rushed, relatively speaking, Delphi, Olympia and the Theatre are small points (although they are not small), your itinerary on the 14th is really impossible to do, you have to go from Monemvasia to Nafplion to Epidaurus and then go to Cape Colonna and back to the Temple of Poseidon and back to Athens, you basically have no time to shop, just drive. I really suggest you delete some points and enjoy the leisure of Greece～ ? Greece Q&A
