This full-day trip lasts about 12 hours and starts at the departure port in Crete. At the port, guests check in at a kiosk where staff provide ferry tickets and assign bus numbers for the transfer to Santorini Island. The ferry crossing takes between 1 hour 55 minutes and 2 hours 15 minutes from Heraklion, or about 2 hours 20 minutes from Rethymno, depending on weather conditions. Upon arrival on Santorini Island, guides holding signs with bus numbers direct guests to their buses. The first stop is usually the village of Oia, where visitors have approximately 1.5 hours to walk through the streets and see traditional Cycladic architecture and the surroundings. On busier days, the tour may begin in Fira instead. Next, the tour continues to Fira, the capital of Santorini Island, where guests can explore shops and streets and enjoy views of the Caldera. From mid-May, there is an optional Volcano tour available at an extra cost, which includes a boat ride to the volcano and a swim in the hot springs. The tour includes a tour escort or host, local taxes, and return boat transfers between Crete and Santorini Island. Hotel pickup and drop-off are included only for selected hotels and if the option is chosen. Food and drinks are not included in the price.
