Guided Day Trip to Santorini from Crete by High-Speed Boat

Overview

This day trip takes you from Crete to the island of Santorini aboard a high-speed boat. The crossing takes approximately 1h45 to reach one of Greece's most iconic destinations, characterised by its steep cliffs and white houses with blue domes. The itinerary includes a visit to the old village of Oia, where you can stroll through stone-paved alleys rich in tradition, as well as the capital, Fira. In Fira, free time is provided to explore the town's picturesque streets. An optional volcano tour is available; details of this option are provided directly on the coach.
