After arriving at the small port of Athinios, which is close to the center of the island unlike the ferry port, an airconditioned and comfortable mini-bus will be waiting for you with a guide who will give you valuable information about the island in Greek, English, French and Italian.
On this cruise you will spend almost 5.5 hours at the island's capital Fira, located in the middle of the island, opposite the sleeping volcano. Fira has a unique natural beauty and is the most cosmopolitan place on the island. Apart from the museums and galleries like the Archaeological Museum of Thera, the Museum of Prehistoric Thera, the Art of The Loom Gallery and Orion Art Gallery, Fira boasts many cafes, restaurants and shops.
You can take enjoy your lunch at one of the island's excellent restaurants and taverns (not included in the price) with breathtaking views over the caldera. Your guide will give you advice about where to visit and will give a set time to gather back at the bus for your return.
The Museum of Prehistoric Thera is particularly worth visiting and offers an amazing insight into the advanced Minoan culture that existed on the island and has led to a global consensus that Santorini was most likely the source for legend of Atlantis. Here you will find amazingly preserved frescos from the archaeological site of Akrotiri.
If you haven't visited before, Santorini is not to be missed - it is by far one of the most beautiful and captivating Greek islands.

Santorini gets a bit crowded this time of year but if you get off the strete and into a cafe or tavern you can escape from the crowds. Recommend walking a bit further up into Firostefani away from the crowds and for great views.
Γρήγορο και καλά οργανωμένο πλοίο μεταφοράς από τη Χώρα της Νάξου.
When you arrive there are two busses and you get split according to what language you speak. Our guide Maria was very informative and gave us some some great recommendations about where to eat and how to get away from the crowds. Highly recommended
We're frequent travelers in Naxos and we've used other boats but this one is one of the biggest so is very stable and comfortable. Perfect if you're prone to travel sickness.
The boat struck me as to be quite old but I cannot deny also that it is a comfortable one. Our trip to Santorini was enjoyable.
