Join us for an exciting boat and bus trip from Heraklion to Santorini and experience a perfect blend of adventure and relaxation. Your journey will begin from Heraklion Port where you will take a 2.5-hour speedboat ride to the Port of Athinios in Santorini. Upon arrival, you will board the bus for a scenic 40-minute drive to the picturesque village of Oia. During the ride, your knowledgeable guide will share fascinating insights into Santorini’s rich history.
In Oia you will have 1 hour and 45 minutes of free time to explore the stunning blue and white village perched on the cliffs. Capture breathtaking photos of the iconic Aegean architecture and enjoy unparalleled views of the caldera and the Aegean Sea. Next, head to Fira, the main town of Santorini, on a 30-minute bus ride.
