What you can expect

Explore the Beauty of Santorini – Full-Day Tour from Crete

Enjoy a full-day escape to the stunning island of Santorini with this return tour from Heraklion. Travel in comfort by high-speed boat and air-conditioned coach, and experience the world-famous charm of Oia and Fira. You’ll have approximately 5.5 hours of free time on the island to take in the iconic views, explore whitewashed alleys, or even sail to the volcano!

*Please note: Times may vary slightly due to traffic conditions.

Fast Ferry to Santorini (08:00–10:00)
Begin your adventure with a scenic 2-hour boat ride across the Aegean Sea. Board a modern catamaran from Heraklion Port and relax with sea views. Grab a coffee or snack from the onboard bar as you cruise towards magical Santorini.

Bus to Oia (10:00–10:30)
Upon arrival at Athinios Port, hop on a comfortable coach and head to the picturesque village of Oia, famous for its postcard-worthy views and iconic blue-domed churches.

Free Time in Oia (10:30–12:10)
Stroll through narrow alleys, take breathtaking photos of the caldera, and browse charming boutiques.
Guests who wish to join the optional volcano and hot springs cruise will leave Oia slightly earlier to make their connection.

Drive to Fira (12:10–12:30)
Next, travel to the capital of Santorini, Fira — perched dramatically on the edge of the cliffs.

Free Time in Fira or Optional Volcano Tour (12:30–14:30)
Enjoy roughly two hours in Fira to explore shops, enjoy local cuisine, or admire panoramic views.
If you wish to join the optional boat excursion to the volcano and hot springs (weather permitting, ticket available on the spot), the stay in Fira will be shorter.

Return Ferry to Heraklion (15:30–17:30)
Regroup with your guide at Athinios Port and board the ferry back to Crete. Relax and reflect on a day full of impressions as the sun begins to lower over the sea.

Transfer to Hotels
Upon arrival at Heraklion Port, return to your accommodation by bus.
