From Crete: Santorini Day Trip by Boat with Oia & Fira Visit

4.2 (249)rated 4.2 out of 5 from 249 reviews

Board a high-speed vessel and enjoy a nice ferry cruise from Heraklion or Rethymno to the island of Santorini.

Upon arrival in Santorini, you will be transferred from the port to the magnificent village of Oia in the north.

During the transfer, an experienced guide on the bus will share many interesting facts about Santorini, its history, features, and secrets.

In Oia, you will have approximately 2 hours of free time to visit picturesque spots and viewpoints and enjoy breathtaking views.

The town of Oia is famous worldwide for its iconic panoramic views, Cycladic architecture with white houses and churches with blue domes.

After Oia, the tour continues to the capital of Santorini – the town of Fira.

Fira is just as beautiful as Oia, with breathtaking views of the sea and Caldera from its streets.

You can visit the big Orthodox Cathedral on the main square in the center of Fira and walk through the city.

Fira is full of interesting and picturesque spots and corners. You will have almost 1.5-2 hours there to explore on your own.

The tour will end with a transfer to the Santorini port, where you will take a return trip to Crete.

The day trip ends at the port of Heraklion or at your hotel area if you select the option that includes hotel transfer.
