Santorini, Greece Port Reviews

Busy busy busy cable car nightmare Tip Boat from harbour to main town where blue domes are about 40 euro 6 euro to town by taxi where motor boat docks arrange to come back via motorboat miss out cable car Or return to cable car via taxi 30 euro

Very windy in October

Stood in the hot sun inline for over an hour waiting for the cable cars.

the best little island

Hated the trip up the mountain. Not enough time to do excursions and shop and get back to boat. Felt rushed.

Didn’t like the wait line for the cable lift to get back to the ship tender.

They cancelled all excursions (at the last minute while we were waiting in the cue to leave) stating that the water was too choppy. The tenders were still running and we later found out that it was due to Princess not paying their excursions bill from the previous sail. We took the tender to town and found our own excursion - but lost a couple of hours due to sitting and waiting to hear what was happening.

Santorini was beautiful but extremely crowded. It's a tender boat stop instead of a dock, which always makes things a bit more complicated although the Vista crew did a great job to keep things moving. The excursion we took with the ship had some thrilling drives along the cliffs, but after some of the previous ports, it did not live up to expectations. Maybe it was due to being the last port in this overall great trip.

Oia was beautiful. Get a tender ticket early. We couldn’t get off until around 4 they took so long. We did the boat trip to Oia with a bus back to Thera because the line for the cable car was so long. Actually best to book a tour on this stop so you can get off on the earlier tender.

Absolutely gorgeous! We took the winery tour that took us all over the island to each town.
