Description
Visit the world-famous Santorini island hassle-free with roundtrip transport. Enjoy guided visits to Fira and Oia as well as plenty of free time to explore on your own.
Make the most of the day with a roundtrip tour to Santorini. Travel comfortably on a modern boat and in air-conditioned buses while learning about this island's history and mythology. Don't forget your camera to capture Santorini's famous Aegean architecture and narrow, winding streets.
The day begins with pickup from your hotel or accommodation. Travel to Heraklion port where you will depart on a high-speed boat for Santorini. Enjoy ocean views on the 2.5-hour cruise to the island and pickup a snack from the bar onboard.
Arrive at Port Athinios and hop aboard the bus for the guided tour. Travel 40 minutes to Oia, where you will admire the blue and white houses built over the cliffs. Learn a bit about the city before enjoying free time to snap pictures of the volcanic Caldera and admire the typical Aegean houses.
Next, travel 30 minutes to Fira, the main town of Santorini, built on the edge of a 300-meter cliff. Check out its narrow streets, white vaulted houses, and bright blue domes. In Fira, guests have the option to take a cruise in a wooden boat to the volcano and hot springs (for an additional charge) or spend more time exploring the city.
Return to Port Athinios where your guide will help you board the return ferry. Take in the late-afternoon views on the boat before arriving to Heraklion port where you will be guided to your bus for the return transfer.
