Is Santorini Busy During Summer?

Hi Kidslovegreece! We are a family from the US and would love to visit Santorini soon. However, we are not sure if the island is really crowded in the summer. What do you think is the best time to visit Santorini?

Like most of the Cyclades islands, Santorini receives numerous tourists every summer. Moreover, Santorini is a popular destination for cruises, so Oia and Fira (the capital) are even more crowded in July and August. For this reason, we recommend visiting the island in either June or September if you want to avoid the crowds.
