Je ne recommande vraiment pas l’île. Fira et Oia, les villages accrochés au volcan, sont des Disney Land, en mode soleil. Les photos de mariage (Anglo-Saxons pour la plupart) se succèdent le long de la promenade, tous les 100 mètres. On y flâne pas, on suit la foule. Ces villages sont entièreme...
Je ne recommande vraiment pas l’île. Fira et Oia, les villages accrochés au volcan, sont des Disney Land, en mode soleil. Les photos de mariage (Anglo-Saxons pour la plupart) se succèdent le long de la promenade, tous les 100 mètres. On y flâne pas, on suit la foule. Ces villages sont entièrement dédiés au tourisme de masse. Les prix y sont assez élevés pour la Grèce (semblables à la France). Les hôtels y pullulent ! A Santorin, il n’y a presque que des hôtels. La majorité propose une piscine individuelle par chambre (plutôt une baignoire sur balcon). Une heresie dans cette île de climat désertique ! L’éco-tourisme attendra… car à Santorin, la chaux ne sert pas qu’à blanchir les maisons. Elle semble aussi blanchir l’argent. Les hôtels s’entassent les uns sur les autres, édifiés parfois très bas sur le flanc du volcan, au ras de la falaise. Et jusque loin dans l’île alors que de nombreuses ruines restent encore à restaurer dans les lieux moins touristiques. A se demander comment sont obtenus les permis de construire… Au port maritime, tout est fait pour ne pas organiser le port et laisser les groupes mafieux organiser le raquette. Il n’y a que 4 bus/jour, y compris en pleine saison ! Il est impossible de monter à pied (pas de trottoir, route assez étroite avec de nombreux poids lourds). Le transfert en villle coûte 20 eur/pers. Pareil pour l’aéroport: compter 40 eur le transfert. Pour découvrir Santorin, il faut sortir des lieux touristiques. Vous pouvez louer un Quad (45 eur/jour minimum) pour aller de plage en plage. Si vous souhaitez tout de même voir l’île, je recommande l’hôtel “Aria-Lito mansion”, la location de Quad partenaire de l’hôtel et la plage de Vlychada. Pousser jusqu’au bout du port pour une taverne de pêcheur. Perso, je ne recommande pas l’île. Elle ne vaut pas 4 heures de vols pour une ou deux plages sympas et quelques points de vue sur la Caldera (partie effondrée du volcan, sous l’eau). Beaucoup d’autres lieux de vacances, en France en particulier, proposent de belles plages et des paysages à couper le souffle.Michele F

This trip is very expensive and just not worth it. The ferry tickets are only €13.50/pp each way so you are paying €400 for a bus and a guide??The day was 13+ hours and your total free time on Santorini is barely 3 hours. It’s a nice experience to be offered but just not worth it for a day unless your sole goal is to get the blue dome picture. Communication is very lacking on the way there. Very confusing. No clear direction on how to get your ticket to board the ferry (from the ticket booth, not the person waiting outside the bus). You find your bus number after arriving on the island. Would have been helpful to know. The tour guide waiting was very nice and knowledgeable. But, he did not stop talking, like ever. Too much for me. Our pickup was 6:20am and we were late for our 8:00pm dinner reservation. It was just too much travel for too little time to explore.asfisk

During our stay in Crete we decided to visit Santorini. Everything was so smooth and well organized! A plus is the pick up from our hotel that made our day a pleasant experience. The staff and guides are very friendly and really helpful. We had the opportunity to explore Fira and Oia and stroll in its alleys. The guides were really helpful and with good recommendations! We really enjoyed this day trip and it's highly recommended.Bennettbrian

First, due to under booking the trip was cancelled and rescheduled for the next day. Then the pick up was not from the hotel but from a nearby supermarket, after contacting the operator this then changed to a taxi picking us from the hotel which was great improvement. The journey to the port took about an hour from Agios Nikolaos. The journey over on the Jetboat was very comfortable with cafe facilities onboard. The buses for the tour in Santorini are well organised and you visit Oia and Fira. The photo opportunities are good and the place itself are excellent for restaurants and sightseeing, my advice would be to find a restaurant you fancy yourself rather than the one the guides are recommending. The free time is acceptable and the tour is on the coach between stops. We were not informed of the arrangements when returning and ended up paying for a taxi ourselves back to Agios Nikolaos, €80 as we couldn’t find any bus, then we were called saying the bus was available. The travel arrangements spoilt the excursion for us. The trip itself is well over priced at €190+. I’m afraid I wouldn’t recommend the tour due to the organisation and the value for money aspect. We were heavily discounted due to the issues we encountered but it just wasn’t worth the stress and inconvenience encountered during a holiday.
