Any traveler making their way across the Aegean knows that Santorini is kind of a big deal.
The crown jewel of the Cyclades, the holy grail of sunsets, and the epitome of Greece’s iconic allure, Santorini is not a destination that you simply pass by. And should it pop up on your cruise travelers’ itinerary, you can bet they’ll want to see it in a way that does it justice.
Well, as it happens, Shorex by Travelive now has a way for them to do just that.
Santorini Without the Wait
From its breathtaking caldera to its multicolored beaches and whitewashed villages, Santorini’s treasures can be found on any discerning traveler’s wish list. However, it doesn’t always make them readily available for those arriving at its port.
If you’ve ever come ashore in Santorini’s Old Port, you are quite familiar with its cable car system, one that whisks visitors up over 700 feet from the base of its renowned cliffs to the town of Fira.
Sounds exciting, we know.
Unfortunately, while the ride itself only takes 3-4 minutes, the wait for a gondola can extend to hours; especially on a busy day.
So, for those looking to catch an riveting cruise that reveals some of the island’s most striking wonders, this can make the whole experience a bit…less exciting.
Luckily, with the following Private Single-Day Santorini Cruise from Shorex by Travelive, that no longer has to be the case.
