Arrive Thira, Santorini 08:00 - Tender to shore - Depart 18:00

Thira is the capital of Santorini (overlooking the cruise ships in the lagoon), is accessed via a steep pathway up 600 foot cliffs or by the aerial tram

The Port of Thira at the bottom of the cliffs where the tender boats dock

Cruise ships anchored in the Lagoon of Thira

Santorini is made up of 4 main islands which sit on the rim of an extinct flooded volcano

Beautiful blue domed churches decorate the white-washed town of Oia

Windmills feature in Thira

Higgledy-piggledy dwellings, restaurants and swimming pools adorn the tops of the steep cliffs

The aerial tram (six cars of 4 passengers) carry 600 cruise ship passengers an hour up to Thira - €7.00 each way.
Sometimes there can be quite a wait so it might be better to do a ship excursion which may skip the queues


Dinner at a restaurant in Oia overlooking the amazing sunset is quite an experience.
Unfortunately we visit close to  mid-summer's day so the sunset would be around 9:00pm and our ship leaves Santorini at 6:00pm
