The 15 Best Santorini Tours: Caldera, Villages & Wine

61 tours

Santorini is a rim of cliff facing west, which is why so much of it is done from the water. Here are the best Santorini tours: the catamaran days with a swim at the hot springs, the village runs through Oia, Imerovigli and Firostefani, and the Assyrtiko tastings on the volcanic side. Prices, durations and what is included are on every one.

Santorini caldera cruise with volcano hike, warm sulfur hot springs swim, and free time on Thirassia, plus optional pickup.

“Good instructions about where to meet and easy to find. The main thing is how long it will take to go down from Fira downtown to the port - the cable car ride is just a few minutes but it may not be running at full capacity. For us, it was so the down journey was less than 10 minutes including a short wait. The boat itself was mostly but not completely full - it was easy to check in and find a spot to sit. They played music that was a little loud but not too bad. The volcano was fun - the island itself wasn't that interesting but…”

The team was not willing to go back, and they asked us to get off the bus at an unsafe location and use public transport instead, even though at night about 7pm, in a unknown island”
