Please note

🟢 Please make sure you provide pick up information details upon booking: Hotel/Airbnb Name, Flight number (if applicable), Cruise ship name (if applicable), Arrival time (if applicable), Traveler phone (while on trip). If you're staying at an accommodation in Santorini, our meeting point will be the parking area of your hotel at the departure time. For cruise ship travelers, pick-up will be arranged at the exit of the cable car. Your guide will be there waiting for you holding a sign with your name. It's important to note that cruise ships do not dock at Santorini Port; they use small boats, known as 'tender boats', to get you ashore. These boats will bring you to the Old Port of Fira, from where you take the cable car (6€, on-site) to ascend the cliffs and reach the top.
