This week's most important addition isn't the biggest, but it might be the most useful: a lot of visitors arrive assuming they can fly a drone over Oia's sunset crowd. They can't, legally, and enforcement is real.
What's new
- Plan gained a researched drone and photography-permit guide — the caldera rim (Fira, Oia, Imerovigli) is a designated no-fly zone, and archaeological sites like Akrotiri require permission rarely granted to tourists.
- Wine gained a guide to staying directly at a vineyard, a small but growing accommodation category.
- Do gained a hidden-beaches guide covering quieter alternatives to the main resort beaches.
- Culture gained a pottery and ceramics guide, tracing the craft from the Akrotiri excavation finds to today's working studios.
- Food gained a guide to capers, white eggplant and other smaller local crops.
- Stay gained three worked weekly budget examples, building on our existing budget guide with concrete numbers.
As always: drone regulations, like entry requirements, are the kind of thing that changes — check Greece's official HCAA resources directly before travelling with one. Corrections and requests go to the contact page.
