Description

Discover the wonders of Santorini without wasting time in long lines. Luxuriate with boat transfers then hop in the bus for a tour of its most evocative sights. Exit your ship's tender and climb aboard a private boat whisking you away from the crowded port, skipping the infamously stressful cable car. Take in the stunning views of the Aegean Sea and Caldera as you speed to the shore. Once there, board a comfortable air-conditioned bus for a journey around Santorini's gems. Feel calm amid the tranquil beauty of Finikia and admire its famous blue dome. Stroll through Oia's vibrant markets, perhaps pausing to purchase souvenirs. Then, continue to Megalochori, where you'll marvel at the traditional architecture that you won't find anywhere else. Explore the grape cultivation that results in tempting wine flavors. Last but not least, we will visit the stunning black beach, and you will have some free time there. So if you want to have a swim, please pack your swimsuit with you. At the end of your day in Santorini, we'll take you back to the Old Port by our special boat transfer.
