Santorini tour from Heraklion Port in Crete. It includes a fast ferry cruise, optional bus transfer in Crete and Santorini, and visits of Oia and Fira towns. We use only the most reliable ferries, guides and buses. Includes also a bus professional guide.
If you select the transfer option, our bus will pick you up in the morning. The bus will take you to Crete’s Heraklion Port. Our driver will give you a return ticket with the number of the bus in Crete.
Regardless if you choose the transfer option or the no transfer option at Heraklion port you will give your GYG ticket and the extra ticket we will email you 24 hours prior to departure and you will receive the ferry tickets and the Santorini tour bus number at the designated ticket kiosk. After that you will board on a “Fast Ferry Boat.” The ferry to Santorini departs at 08:00 am. It takes 2 hours and 15 minutes across the Aegean Sea to reach Santorini’s Athinios port. The ferry has a snack bar where you can find lots of different foods and drinks to choose from. By booking this tour to Santorini you also book seats on the ferry. Your seat is written on the ferry tickets.
Your tour guide will meet you outside the boat and escort you to the tour bus. With this the six hours bus tour begins. Our first visit is Oia village.
Oia town is situated on the north tip of the island of Santorini. It is well known for its views, and the white-washed buildings with blue roofs. Oia is perfect for instagram settings.
We will spend around two hours of free time in Oia. After our visit to Oia, our bus will take us to Fira Town. It is a short drive of twenty to thirty minutes.
After our drive we will reach the town of Fira. The capital of Santorini. It is situated on top of a dramatic 300m cliff that overlooks the Aegean sea.
The town is known for its sunsets and stunning vistas. It enchants visitors with its iconic buildings adorned with vibrant domes and cascading bougainvillaeas. You can go through its narrow streets to uncover charming cafes, shops, and traditional taverns serving Greek food. 2 hours free time stop.
There are many things to do. You may do some shopping, take photographs or have some lunch. We will spend two hours here. During the high season we offer an optional (extra cost) cruise with a wooden boat to the volcano of Santorini. It is optional because it lasts about one and a half hours. This time is lost from your stay at Fira. Ask your tour guide if it is available when you first meet him.
After our two hour visit we will board our coach and return to Athinios Port. It takes about 20 minutes to reach the port. There we will board our ferry for the journey back. At Heraklion port our bus will wait for you to take you back to your hotel.
You will also receive an emergency number. You may use it in case you forgot your meeting point, lost your bus, or for any other reason.
Also if you are planning to stay the night, we arrange a pick up the next day from either Fira or Oia towns.
