Cable car tickets are not included.
Santorini is a tender port. There are 2 ports in Santorini, Fira Old Port (where the cable car is, which takes you to Fira town) and Athinios (ferry and commercial pier). Please make sure to take the right tender and disembark to Fira Old port and not Athinios, as you'll will need to take the cable car to join the tour (cable car ride is couple of minutes).
Give yourself enough waiting time as you might encounter long lines to enter the cable car.
For morning departure: After embarking on your cruise ship, we suggest asking the cruise ship Guest Relation Officers for more details on how to have a priority disembarkation to be able to join the tour at 10:00.
Afternoon departure is ideal for guests whose cruise arrives in the morning or early afternoon and departs at 21:00 or later — perfect for those who prefer a relaxed morning before exploring Santorini.
This intimate small-group tour offers a relaxed, scenic introduction to Santorini, with a more personal experience than large bus tours.

Discover Santorini’s most iconic villages—Oia, Imerovigli, and Pyrgos—on a relaxed, small-group tour designed especially for cruise ship travelers. Led by a knowledgeable local guide and with a small-group format, this tour ensures a more personal and engaging experience.

Travel in a comfortable, air-conditioned minibus and enjoy the flexibility of morning...
