Meeting and Pickup
1. Hotel & Airbnb Guests Pickup Pickup is available from all hotels and Airbnbs in Santorini. If your hotel or Airbnb is not accessible by car due to pedestrian-only areas or other restrictions, pickup will take place at a nearby main road location, within a short walking distance. This is standard practice for all tours and excursions in Santorini, as many hotels and Airbnbs are not directly accessible by car due to pedestrian zones and steps.2. Cruise Passengers Pickup Santorini is a tender-only port. You will be tendered ashore to either: Athinios Port (road-accessible), or Fira Town Port / Old Port (not accessible by car, serviced only by cable car). If you are tendered to Athinios Port, we will pick you up directly from the Athinios Port (road access available). If you are tendered to Fira Town Port instead, pickup will be from the Santorini McDonald’s near the top of the cable car, please note that in order to reach Santorini McDonalds you must take the cable car from the Old Port (3 minutes ride, bottom to top). Cable Car Tickets: €10 per person, per ride (extra cost, paid directly at the cable car counter; tickets cannot be pre-purchased, cost is not included in tour cost - must be covered on your own).
