2-Day Santorini Experience from Athens

Athens, Greece

If you only visit one of the Greek islands, it's got to be Santorini! This former volcanic island has breathtaking views from the caldera whilst also boasting red, white and black beaches. Spend the night on the island and admire the sites at your leisure before returning to Athens.

Brace yourself for fabulous Santorini! Regarded by many as the most spectacular of the Greek islands.

Gaze in wonder at the submerged caldera, epicentre of what is probably the biggest volcanic eruption in recorded history. One side of the island is balanced on the edge of the caldera while the other side is flat and contains many beaches of which there are white, red and black!

One of the main beaches is Perissa which is a black beach, be sure to check out breathtaking Red beach with its high red cliffs and hand size pebbles submerged under the clear water.

You can't come to Santorini without watching the sunset from picturesque Oia at the tip of the island. Why not enjoy a meal at one of the many restaurants in Oia while you're there.

Santorini is unforgettable!

Your stay in Santorini is unescorted and gives you the freedom and flexibility to enjoy your time on the island at your own leisure.

It's a long ferry ride for a short stay. I would suggest flying in or if you want to do the ferry ride stay longer.

Very happy with the trip. The ferry rides are very long, but rather interesting.

Santorini was beautiful, we stayed in Kamari but wish we were told hotel location prior to arrival, really wish this was a 3-day experience as the ferry and total transportation time takes up 20 hours(maybe an overnight ferry would be better), hotel was great as was the staff. Would love to go back in the near future to explore more of the island. Glad I didn't have to deal with transportation booking and overall had a great time on this trip!

Santorini is absolutely beautiful. The ease of not having to worry about transport was brilliant, all thanks to Viator. The accomodation was average, but did the job. Visiting Santorini is a MUST DO

Very good overall. Pickup and drop off were great. Hotel was fabulous. Only thing was the Ferry on our way to Santorini. Our tickets had no assigned seats.

I think that the island is beautiful and definitely worth doing but I would recommend taking more time to explore the islands as the ferry takes 8 hours to get there and with the 2 days you end up with very little time to explore all of the beauty on the island unless you are very ambitious with the time you do have and don't take time to relax.

The two day tour is to short, needs one more day. The time on the boat was very long.

Review by: Michele B, Canada	October 2009
It took 8 hours to go, 8 hours to come back by boat. We stayed in Santorini less than 24 hours. The hotel was located on the East coast away from the main towns and "the caldeira" main attractions of the island.

For those wanting a quick trip it worked very well. Be aware though that the ferry trip is long 8-9 hours. The transfers at each end were handled very efficiently. However, it would have been helpful to know the location of the hotel prior to the day of departure for planning purposes, especially given the limited time available i.e. transport to the main attractions Fira and Oia was necessary and bus timetables were restrictive.

The hotel that was used for the tour was excellent. It was by far the best aspect of the trip. The ferry to the island was uncomfortable. It would be best if the package could offer the high-speed boat as an option. The transfers and organization were excellent.

Review by: Ting Ting N, Singapore	April 2008
The trip was good. Transfer was all nicely arranged. However, the hotel isn't much of a 1st class one. Hotel staff is friendly and helpful, but hotel is currently going through renovation. And also, hope that the cruise will be a 4 hour one, so that more time can be spent to explore the island.
