Santorini is known for its steep cliffs and scenic caldera views. This five-hour tour is designed for cruise ship passengers, offering boat transfers that avoid the cable car lines and stairs. After tendering ashore, a boat takes guests from the cruise port directly to the shore, providing views of the Aegean Sea and the caldera. From the shore, an air-conditioned minibus with a local English-speaking guide begins the sightseeing. The tour includes stops in the village of Finikia for photos of the famous blue dome churches, followed by an hour in the town of Oia to explore its streets, white buildings, market atmosphere, and caldera views including the windmills. Megalochori village is next, where visitors see traditional architecture and learn about local winemaking methods. The tour then visits Perivolos, known as the black sand beach, where participants have free time to walk around or swim if desired. The return to the cruise ship is by boat from Santorini’s Old Harbor, avoiding cable car lines and ensuring an on-time arrival back to the ship. Bottled water is provided, and the group size is limited to 18 people for comfort.
