Cable car ticket is not included.

Santorini is a tender port. There are 2 ports in Santorini, Fira Old Port (where the cable car is, which takes you to Fira town) and Athinios (ferry and commercial pier). Please make sure to take the right tender and disembark to Fira Old port and not Athinios, as you'll will need to take the cable car to join the tour (cable car ride is couple of minutes).

Give yourself enough waiting time as you might encounter long lines to enter the cable car.

For morning departure: After embarking on your cruise ship, we suggest asking the cruise ship Guest Relation Officers for more details on how to have a priority disembarkation to be able to join the tour at 9:30.

Afternoon departure is ideal for guests whose cruise arrives in the morning or early afternoon and departs at 21:00 or later — perfect for those who prefer a relaxed morning before exploring Santorini.

This intimate small-group tour offers a relaxed and scenic introduction to Santorini. With a max of 16 participants, you’ll enjoy a more personal experience than large bus tours.
