SANTORINI 1-tägiger geführter Ausflug mit HIGHSPEED ab KRETA

We had a great experience on our trip to Santorini. The speedboat was large and comfortable and our two stops in Santorini were beautiful. We had time to explore, shop and have an incredible lunch. Highly recommend this tour if you are just doing a day visit to the island.

First of all, we paid €375 (for 2 people) at the hotel, which included a speedboat from Crete and a local tour bus with a guide. Everything was fine with timely departures and friendliness on board. Unfortunately, we were unlucky with the weather upon arrival; it poured for about 1.5 hours, and then the sun came out. Off to the German-speaking tour bus, up steep mountains, and then came the disappointment: dirty, exhaust fumes, and we had 2 hours to get off before continuing to the capital, another 2 hours, always the pressure of time! You rush through to be on time for the bus, which leaves without you since the ferry departs on schedule! The crowds were manageable; it was the off-season, but during the season, it is total madness. Toilets are scarce and cost €1 (for now). The houses and everything are beautiful, but I believe the price is far too high, considering the little time you have. We only saw the catalog pictures and now the originals because the time is simply too short; we bought souvenirs on the go. Think about spending so much money just to see cute little white houses!!! We regretted it but were there! The prices are steep, but decide for yourselves. Have fun!

After an hour’s drive to Heraklion, you will take a ferry to Santorini that takes about 2 hours and 30 minutes. Once arrived, you will board a bus again and visit the village of Ia after spending half an hour on the bus. The AI village, overrun by tourists, is really charming after discovering Fula for lunch and returning at 16:30 from Santorini to reach the hotel in Crete around 20:00. I'm not sure that's really reasonable? For a price for 2 =) 364€

We have an excellent memory of this day, very well organized and rhythmic. Our guide Carine on top, thank you. Extraordinary fast jet crossing, luxury on board and comfortable.

Meeting at the Seajet kiosk was easy and the trip to Santorini was excellent (although the seas were rough) with fantastic facilities and staff. The tour of Santorini was straightforward and we had time in Thera and another town to walk around. If cruise ships are in it’s VERY crowded. It was good to see the architecture and landscape but the shops and sites were touristy.

The boat ride to the island was about 2 hours. Then you have to find your bus. Thank God ours was pink as it was easy to find. We stopped in Oia to see the picturesque white buildings with the blue tops. Much to my surprise, that is the only place on the island that has those blue and white colors. We had about 1.4 hours in each place. Problem was we spent 1 hour waiting in line on these stairs down an alley to take photos of the blue and white buildings that by the time we were done, we had to make our way back to the bus so didn’t get to see anything else. Fira was beautiful but so, so, so many people because the cruise ships drop off anywhere from 1k to 5k depending on how many ships they have. It’s difficult to make your way down the little cobblestone streets for shopping and restaurants. Be prepared to pay a lot for food and gifts. Much more expensive than in Athens or other places in Greece. There are more jewelry stores in Fira than I’ve ever seen in one small area! They are obsessed with jewelry. Would I go again, yes but I’d have a private guide and take a lot longer to enjoy. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and full of historical information. Bus was comfortable. I had originally signed up to go see the volcano 30 euros instead of doing the second stop but because we didn’t get to see the first town, I didn’t want to miss the second. If you don’t like crowds, might not be the place for you.

The local agent never answered the email Viator said to be sent in order to get the details for exact time and place of meeting point. We went directly to Ferry tickets and learned that it was other agency carrying the tour. We had 1,15h in one place and 2h in other and turn back. Save your money or choose another broker

Too much in one day chaotic and nothing seen. Tour guide very busy talks too much. Didn't see anything. Not recommended. Book it separately but not in combination

Santorini is beautiful but everywhere shortage was present the bus was late . And there was little guidance. We had to walk like a spear... in short we could not visit or see anything decent. the tour guide was very fanatical and talked a lot so you had to listen to her all the time and she made comments that you had to listen even though you fell asleep she woke you were not allowed to talk. it seemed like we were in a class, that's how she treated you. Kotom too little time to feel the real love of Santorini. When we were upstairs we could go straight down and didn't even get the time to drink. Luckily we had booked another boat trip with a pirate ship. That is highly recommended. The tour guide was nowhere to be seen and we had to figure everything out ourselves. After half an hour we came back it was a chaos of people and we stood in the sun and there we had to wait half an hour for a bus to arrive. The speedboat from easy-jet was still half an hour late when we got off pirate ship. We had to find out for ourselves which bus we had. in short chaos....no one was in sight yet.. accompanying us. very unfortunate but this is not worth the money! I think we should have taken a taxi that would have shown us the most beautiful parts than in this fast train. Greetings Huub and Nicolle

What an incredible experience! The most beautiful views in the world! Iconic buildings with delicious food in the many restaurant's. The shopping was fun in the sun! We even saw some donkeys walking up the steps!
