Description

Step into the magic of Santorini, Greece, with a small-group shore excursion crafted just for cruise travelers. Begin your adventure as you meet your expert local guide near the Fira cable car exit, ensuring a seamless start perfectly timed to your ship’s schedule.

Travel in comfort with an air-conditioned vehicle, exploring the island’s highlights alongside a maximum of 19 fellow guests for a relaxed, personalized experience. Your journey takes you to the famous black sands of Perivolos Beach, where you can unwind, swim, or enjoy a meal at a seaside taverna at your own expense.
