Planning a Santorini Trip from India (Stays, Secret Spots & A Proposal!♥️)

Planning a Santorini trip and wondering if a ₹16,800 cave hotel is actually worth the money? Today we are breaking down Santorini on a budget vs. luxury, comparing a ₹6000 stay in Fira to a massive splurge in Pyrgos to help you plan your perfect Greece itinerary. Welcome back to the channel! If you have limited leaves and want to make the most of your trip, I'm giving you the ultimate expectation vs. reality check for this bucket-list destination. We are covering the actual costs, how to avoid the massive tourist crowds, and reviewing whether the luxury hype is real. Plus, things got incredibly real with a crazy ferry disaster that forced us into a detour to Syros, and I'm sharing secret, free sunset spots that completely beat the crowded viewpoints. 🌅 Grab your coffee (or chai!) and let's get into the details. And make sure to watch until the very end... because amidst all the chaos and planning, the biggest surprise of my life happened! 💍🥺 📍 Inside This Guide: Budget Stay: Ariana Suites (Fira) - Is ₹7000/night worth it?
