Itinerary
Day 1 HERAKLION - SANTORINI
-
Begin your day with an early morning pick‑up from your hotel in Crete and transfer to Heraklion Port, where you’ll board the high-speed hydrofoil to Santorini. The boat departs at 8:00 a.m. and the journey takes approximately 2.5 hours across the Aegean Sea.
Upon arrival at Santorini Port, your guided excursion begins. Enjoy a scenic tour around the island, discovering its iconic landmarks and learning about its rich history and volcanic landscape. Visit one of the breathtaking caldera‑edge towns, where whitewashed houses, narrow cobblestone lanes, and cliffside tavernas seem to spill down the dramatic slopes. Continue to Oia, where you’ll have free time to wander through its picturesque streets, capture stunning views, and soak in the island’s unique atmosphere. The tour concludes in Santorini’s vibrant capital, Fira. From here, make your own way to your hotel and enjoy the rest of your evening at leisure.
Overnight in Santorini.
