Meeting and Pickup

Pickup point
Pickup details

You may ask to be picked up from any location on Santorini. If you are a cruise traveler: Individual cruise passengers disembark in Santorini by tender boats arriving only at the old port of Fira. To find the exit of the cable car in Fira follow these steps: • Take a tender boat from your cruise ship • Once ashore, go to the cable car • Paying a ticket of 6 Euros per person (one way) take a cable car ride up to Fira town (3 min.) • Come out of the cable car building • Behind the gate our guide or driver are waiting for you with Omega Travel sign with your name on it. Only passengers arriving to Santorini in organized groups or acquiring shore excursions on board disembark at Athinios port. These travelers get off the ship first. All the rest are considered to be individual travelers and disembark only at the old port of Fira.The donkeys are arriving to a different place in Fira, not to the cable car exit.The stairs bring you next to the cable car exit but we strongly recommend to use the cable car for your comfort.

What To Expect

After picking you up from a meeting point we will drive to the most picturesque village of Santorini – Oia where you will be given free time to discover its beauties.

Firostefani
We also visit the famous Blue Dome Church in Firostefani, the subject of so many Santorini’s postcards.

The tour will be continued with a drive to the Eastern part of Santorini to visit a cozy village of Kamari located on the Black beach (some free time).

Shops, coffee shops, taverns, and beautiful spots can be found all over the place waiting for you to explore it, or maybe even to swim in its waters awarded by the Blue Flag.

Then we depart to the highest point of the island – Profitis Ilias mountain.

We approach Profitis Ilias Monastery to enjoy the views, to visit St. Nectarius church, to taste local products made by the monks with a possibility to buy the ones that you like the most.

Return us back to the meeting point at the end of the tour.

Sorting, ranking, and search results

Activity name

City Boat Tours wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through City Boat Tours over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
