It has been said that Santorini is the most beautiful Greek island of all! Well, this is for you to decide. Below I will try to present to you your arrival to Santorini via a few photos.
  As previously mentioned, due to the fact that our port is not deep enough to host the big cruise ships that arrive from all over the world, the ships dock in the open almost next to our Volcano and from there, tender boats bring our guests either to the Athinios port or to the Old port which is called Old but it isn't. But in order to get a better idea of the distances, the yellow dot is where your ship will be and the red dot is where the tender boats will bring you in order to access the island, as there is no car access down to the Old Port.
When the tender boats will bring you to the Old Port (see photo above) you will get in line to the cable car (see photo above) that is absolutely safe and fun and it takes only 5 - 10 minutes to get to the top were Fira, the capitol of the island is. Alternatively, you can take the donkeys up (see photo below) but this will take around 20-25 minutes and please keep in mind that will not take you all the way up to the top, like the cable car that will bring you right in the heart of the city (see photo below).
  The above right photo, shows the exit of the cable car where one of my team members will wait to escort you to the car as there is no car access for the new few meters. All our vehicles are new, non smoking and air-conditioned and they will offer you a comfortable way to explore the island. You will visit Oia, Perissa, Perivolos, Imerovigli, black Sandy beach, a winery and much more if the time will allow it.  
  You can have lunch during your tour, shop and do anything you like. We give you the ideas but you will decide what you like the best and how much you will spend in each place. We will show you the highlights of this island. Please note that those who wish to see the Ancient Thira, they must say so before they arrive as this tour is a completely other tour and takes 2 1/2 hours only to go there and walk up! The walking part is only more than one hour totally uphill and there is not much time to see anything else.  
  Our goal is to get you back to the cable car before big lines will be formed as you will be tired on the end of the tour and I am sure that you wouldn't want to spend 2 hours waiting to get to the tender boats.  

Please visit our photo gallery to find more photos of our beautiful island and get an idea of what you will see.
