Notes:
- Santorini Cruise Port is a popular cruise destination in the Aegean Sea, in the Cyclades island group of Greece. When cruise ships arrive at Santorini, they anchor in the deep Caldera Bay, and passengers are tendered to The Old Port of Santorini, which takes around 10 minutes. Don’t get confused between The Old Port and Athinios Port in Santorini. Athinios Port is the main port of Santorini and serves as the primary entry point for visitors arriving by ferry, not cruise ships.
- Options to arrive to Fira Town
Cable Car: The most popular and efficient way is to take the scenic cable car ride up to Fira. Enjoy stunning views as you ascend the cliffside in just a few minutes.
Walking: If you’re feeling adventurous and up for some exercise, you can hike up the stairs from the Old Port to Fira. The path offers breathtaking views, but be prepared for a steep climb.
Donkey Ride: For a traditional experience, opt for a donkey ride up the winding path to Fira. It’s a unique way to immerse yourself in the island’s culture and history.
Water Taxi: Arrange for a private water taxi to take you directly from the Old Port to Fira to Athinios Port or Ammoudi Bay, ports which are approachable by car. This option provides convenience and comfort, especially for those with limited mobility. Please ask us for information.
