Santorini Island Tour - Oia Village & Fira town

Your destination is Oia Village, the crowning glory of peace and tranquility. Built on the northern part of the caldera rim, it is here where many artists have been inspired due to its magnificent location, as you will see for yourself, with its most superb views of the caldera, the rest of the island itself and Aegean Sea. Seeing as how the port of Santorini is not large enough to allow the cruise ship to disembark its passengers directly on the port, in negotiation with your agent, local boats, enjoy a short trip to the Athenios Harbor where you will meet up with your Motorcoach and escort. Drive uphill along the rocky sides of the Caldera and pass through many traditional villages in order to reach the unique village of Oia, with its architecture typically Cycladic and its houses resembling “bird nests” tucked away into the dramatic cliff-side. Accompanied by your escort, walk through the village along cobble-stoned streets marveling at the wonderful panoramic views and admiring the traditional architecture. Enjoy free time on your own, where you may either wander through the many art galleries available or perhaps relax over a coffee. At the specified place and time, meet back up with your escort and make your way to Fira, the picturesque capital town of the island, built on the caldera rim. Enjoy the town at your own leisure and return to the small pier of Scala by cable car, where the vessel’s tenders will take you back to the ship
