Kamari beach Read Less

Super good picture spots, we were able to see the best of the island in 5 hours Read Less

Loud music at dinner and line at tram. Kids begging as you are in line. Read Less

Once again only a three hour stop and only got to see a fraction of the island! Once again we found our own transport for a fraction of what the ship was charging! Read Less

beautifull island , we took the cable car upto the town which is very pretty and great for shopping , then walked down the hundreds of steps with all the donkeys back to the ship Read Less

We have spent 4 days on Santorini two years ago, but it was a nice place to visit again. There was a short wait for the cable car from the port up to the town as there were two cruise ships in port that day. Cost each way on the cable car was 6 euro per person. They have alot of souvenir shops and some quality shopping. This is not the place to go if you have difficulty walking as all the streets are cobblestones. Read Less

Nice shopping. Read Less

We did our own thing in Santorini. Getting off the ship, we found one of the Transfer Boats to Oia that included the boat ride to Oia, a bus drive up the hill and a bus transfer back to Fira. BE WARNED....... the bus ride up the hill is misleading. You need to walk up a very steep and long hill to get to the bus. If anyone has a medical condition, hard time walking, etc., you will not be able to do it. Also, there is one dock at the port in Oia for the larger boats and catamarans..... there was a lineup of boats to get to the dock to have people get off / and on. Read Less

Take the tram to the top and enjoy the shops, food, and sites of the city on your own! You must dine, drink, and relax while viewing the beauty of the sea! Read Less

Took cable car walked. Most beautiful place. Next time we would take a tour Read Less

Almost had to miss this port because of high winds which forced the island to close down the cable car, so our tenders also stopped. The winds died down and we were able to go around noon, so the day was a little shorter. I was in Santorini 8 years ago and was disappointed by the disappearance of the blue roofs because the blue paint is hard to keep up expense-wise. It took so much of the beauty away. The town was totally overrun by tourists. Read Less

Excellent guide. We walked thru 3 villages and got lots of history. Read Less

We took a ferry to Oia and hiked 6 miles (10k) back to the ship along the rim of the island. We had to tender in from the ship, then wait a long time for the ferry, then wait again for the bus to take us up the hill to Oia. Although we were one of the first off the Veendam, it was almost 11:00am by the time we started our hike. It was extremely hot and miserable! There was no shade, no vegetation, and this was in the middle of a heat wave. My experience on Santorini was not good. Read Less

By attending the port talk the night before, we learned about taking the fast boat from Fira to Oia for 15 Euro. It was fun and efficient and provided great views from the prettiest town in Greece. Read Less

You line up first day at sea for tender boat ticket time. There was no real wait and we were number 8. You get off at deck 4 and they stop elevators while they board. We did self planned tour. Tender boat to shore, we got fast boat to Oia $15 which included 2 buses, we walked 300m up hill to get bus into Oia. Spent 4 hours, then bus to Fira for sightseeing. Then we lined up for cable car rand paid for our eturn to ship Read Less

A nightmare place were you only disembark and return to ship by tender from Fira because of the cable car capacities. As the saying goes 2 swallows don't make a summer and therefore 2 churches with blue painted domes don't make an island of great beaty. Its a volanic island with masses of people and ill treated donkeys. Read Less

Hike from Fria to Oia was amazing. Walked 15 miles that day. Like being in a post card. Read Less

Took the tender ashore , went independently in the cable car to the top , looked around the town visiting the Cathedral then went to Bus station to get a local bus to Oia 20 minutes away €3 each way . Oil whilst extremely busy is beautiful and well worth the effort. Highlight of our cruise. Read Less

Expensive but worth it. So beautiful. Full of tourists. Lots of walking Read Less

Covered site with lots of information on how excavations are done Read Less

We arranged our own tour of Santorini with The Travel Insiders. The guide was waiting for us in Fira right where she said she would be. We were taken all around the island - Black Sand beach, highest mountain point on the island, and a nice walking tour through Oia and finally back to Fira. We had dinner while the sun set in Fira and the location was beautiful - however the dinner was more than $600 euro for 5 of us. We had spaghetti pasta with a large lobster and two bottles of wine. Getting that bill stopped our heart but the day was so nice we just paid and moved on. Not sure the view or the food was worth that. Read Less

Booked a private guide who drove us from one end to the other. Got to see Oia and the black sand beaches, the winery, dinner overlooking the caldera Read Less

Because this was a tender port, my wife was unable to disembark as she is a wheelchair user. I got the cable-car to the top and had a walk around (taking a lot of amazing photos) before walking back down the donkey track (588 steps!) trying to avoid the donkey poo! Read Less

Loved it! Much more steep walking than advertised or expected. Plenty of free time. Cable car ride was fun! Read Less

We had expected horrendous queues to get up and down to the town via the cable car. This was not to be, it was in reality achieved quite quickly and there was really no queue. There were 2 smaller boats in port at the time. Santorini is beautiful and we have stayed there in the past so were quite content to wander around Thira and enjoy the views with a glass of wine.
