Pickup details

• Cruise Ship Passengers: The main meeting point is the upper station of the cable car. Look for our driver/guide holding a sign with your name for easy identification. Some cruise ships offer an optional shuttle/tender service to Athinios Port. From Athinios, shuttle buses transfer passengers to Fira Central Parking, opposite the General High School of Fira. If you use this cruise ship service, you may also be picked up from Fira Central Parking. Alternatively, you may independently arrange a private water taxi at your own expense, with pickup available from Athinios Port. Please inform us in advance so we can coordinate your pickup accordingly. • Hotel Guests: If you’re staying at a hotel write the name of your hotel, the meeting points are either the hotel lobby or the nearest accessible location for vehicles. Your driver/guide will be holding a sign with your name for quick recognition. • Air Travel Arrivals: For passengers arriving by airplane, the meetup spot is the arrivals area at the airport. Spot your driver/guide easily by looking for a sign with your name. Ensure a smooth transition from your journey to your onward transportation.
