f you are thinking about a cheap vacation in Santorini, the main issue will be matching a low cost flight out of season. Therefore, you will then have to decide if you prefer saving money on the accommodation or on the flight.
The reason for this is that airline companies usually offer low cost flights leading to Santorini only between June and at the end of September. This means that you can either book in advance a flight between June and September or make a reservation out of season, saving money on the accommodation but spending almost the double for the flight.
