Santorini is one of the most famous stops on a Greek Isles cruise, but most of the advice out there about avoiding the crowds is wrong. In this video, we’ll show you the real tips for navigating Santorini as a cruise passenger, whether you’re sailing with Virgin Voyages or another cruise line.
We’ll explain the two different tender ports in Santorini (the finicular port vs. the bus port), why choosing the right shore excursion matters, and how to avoid the biggest mistakes cruisers make when visiting this beautiful island. You’ll also join us for an afternoon Virgin Voyages Shore Thing excursion that included wine tastings at Santo Wines and a second local winery, plus free time in the iconic village of Oia.
From finding the perfect blue dome photo spot to enjoying fewer crowds in the late afternoon, this Santorini excursion was a highlight of our Virgin Voyages Resilient Lady Greek Isles Glow itinerary. If you’re planning a cruise stop in Santorini, these tips will help you make the most of your day.
