Santorini was gorgeous! We would love to return and stay a few days. We took the cable car up the mountain from the port and walked form Fira town to the mid point of Imerovigli village (at the highest point of the caldera cliffs). The views were stunning. Next time we will make it over to Oia village, which I hear is breathtaking. ...
We also loved Santorini. It's exactly like what you see in pictures. Don't miss Oia, at the end of the island. It's about a 20 minute cab ride from Fira, where the cable car is. But for souvenirs and food, things are a little cheaper in Fira. There are only a few ways to get up on the island - basically the cable car, walking, or riding the donkeys. We were lucky to be the only ship in port and ...
We are seasoned travelers with experience in Santorini, so we struck out on our own. Took a jeep/bubby to Oai and walked around Thira, enjoyed a late Breakfast and a snack before going back down the tram. ...
The ship tenders here and once on shore you must either take a funicular, mule or walk to the top. We took the funicular without too much delay. We then made our own arrangements for a catamaran ride. We then saw the beautiful white buildings and then took a cab back to the port. The line to go down on the funicular was very long but moved pretty quickly. ...
Santorini (Oia and Fira) are amazing. Lots of time to shop, walk around and make your way to the cable car to return to the ship. We dine at a rooftop restaurant to watch the sunset (sadly, the clouds moved in so we didn't get one). ...
Santorini is spectacular and I am so glad I have seen it but it is not well equipped to deal with the huge influx of people it receives. This makes it problematic to visit on a limited day trip. Whether you are independent or on a tour you will have to get back down to the tender port either waiting in a long line for the cable car or walking (or donkeying) down the stairs. We took the Oia ...
A tiny little port where you get with small tender boats . A cable car will take you on top where is Fira, the maintown of Santorini. A magical little place.. ...
