Know Before You Go
- 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).
- At the end of the tour in Fira, guests must be able to walk 0.5 mile in town to reach the cable car station. Long waiting and queuing time are expected to enter the cable car station during peak season.
- This excursion involves total walking for more than two hours on cobbled streets and uneven ground. We recommend you wear comfortable non-slip walking shoes and protect yourself from the sun. In addition to the extensive amount of walking on this tour, there is a 10-minute walk from the bus parking area in Oia.
