Who has never seen the world famous pictures from a turquoise sea, dazzling white houses/churches with Aegean blue roofs on the top of the steep cliffs? A beautiful trip to one in the top most romantic islands in the world, SANTORINI. The perfect idea when you stay on Crete. A high speed boat (700 pers) brings you in only around 1h 45min to Santorini and after the excursion back. You experience the Greek atmosphere in the old capital Oia and the new capital Fira. OIA: The oldest village in Santorini. Stroll around its small alleys and stone built streets, filled with culture and tradition. The harmony of the colors of the sea and the sun, the wonderful view, bear the spirit of Hellenism and make Oia incomparable. FIRA: The capital of Santorini where you have free time to explore the picturesque traditional little alleys. Optional: visit the Volcano. They explain this option on the bus.
Prices change with the date; the lowest is shown.

Everything worked like clockwork. They obviously have been doing this tour for a long time. I wish we had more time on the island especially in Fira. The line was too long to purchase tickets and go to the top to dome
I totally understand. That's why the itinary is very clear. Thank you for your feedback!
Great experience, everything was well arranged had a Dutch guide who told a lot about the island, the towns were beautiful and because we left so early we were a vd first in oia so we could get ahead of the crowd and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. Plenty of free time to watch everything at ease and take pictures. Also in fira it was great, eaten at moms really recommended, you could also walk for another restaurant but this already looked fantastic and delicious eaten. Service is anticipated that you still want to explore the area afterwards so were really very fast. Thanks for the lovely experience!
Wat een leuke feedback. Super dat je er zo van genoten heeft. Dat is voor ons het belangrijkste!
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.
What a pleasure reading you enjoyed it. Thank you.
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!
Es tut mir sehr leid, das zu lesen. Könnten Sie Ihre Bewertung bitte dem richtigen Unternehmen zuordnen? Sie haben nicht bei uns gebucht, daher wären wir Ihnen sehr dankbar, wenn Sie die Bewertung aus unseren Rezensionen entfernen und dem richtigen Unternehmen zuordnen könnten. Vielen Dank.
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€
Vous pensez qu'il est juste et honnête de ne donner qu'une étoile après ce qui s'est passé ? Vous nous avez appelés tard le soir, le soir avant le jour du voyage, pour nous demander en quoi consistait le voyage. En 30 ans, nous n'avons jamais reçu d'appel de quelqu'un qui avait réservé sans savoir ce qu'il avait réservé. Surtout pour l'excursion à Santorin, car c'est l'excursion non privée la plus chère de Crète. Nous avons été tellement surpris que vous ayez dit ne pas avoir lu les explications et ne pas savoir ce qui allait se passer. Mais cela ne vous a pas posé de problème, car vous avez dit : « Alors, c'est une surprise.» Toutes vos remarques sont expliquées dans la description. Voici un conseil pour éviter les mauvaises surprises, comme nous vous l'avons déjà dit au téléphone : il est toujours important de lire toutes les informations fournies avant de réserver.
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.
C'est agréable d'apprendre que vous avez autant apprécié. Merci de nous l'avoir fait savoir !
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.
Thank you for your feedback!
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.
Thank you for your feedback!
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
Please write this to the correct agent. Our itinary is clearly mentioned: in Oia 2h and in Fira 90 min. So for my clients it's not a problem because they read the information.
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
Willen jullie ajb zo netjes zijn dit te deleten en naar het juiste bedrijf te schrijven? Eye Travel heeft niets te maken met Easy-jet. Wij bieden geen piratenboot aan op Santorini enz... Wij zijn een bedrijf op Kreta. Jullie hebben niet bij Eye Travel geboekt.
