Description

Day cruise to Santorini from Heraklion port with transfer and land excursion to Oia and Fira

Start your journey at the departure port, where you’ll find a kiosk and on-site representatives ready to assist you. Present your voucher to receive your ferry ticket, which will include your assigned bus number for arrival in Santorini.

The ferry ride takes approximately 1 hour and 55 minutes to 2 hours and 15 minutes from Heraklion, and around 2 hours and 20 minutes from Rethymno, depending on weather conditions. Upon disembarking in Santorini, staff holding signs with bus numbers will greet you and guide you to the appropriate vehicle.

Your first destination is the iconic village of Oia, known for its breathtaking views and traditional Cycladic architecture. You’ll have about 1.5 hours to explore and take in the scenery. On busier days, the itinerary may begin in Fira instead, for a smoother experience.

Next, the tour continues to Fira, the capital of Santorini, where you can stroll through charming streets, browse local shops, and admire panoramic views of the Caldera. While in Fira, travelers may choose to join an optional Volcano excursion (available at an extra cost), which runs from mid-May. This includes a traditional boat ride to the Volcano and the chance to swim in the natural hot springs.


Excursion Highlights:

  • Marvel the picturesque white houses perched on the rocky hills of Oia
