Creator's Key Takeaways

We're so excited. We're about to go and go down to the bay, I think.

I can definitely I see the hype. See the hype of coming to Santorini even though every man and his dog comes to Santorini.

It's just so nice.

Beautiful though.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Book a shore excursion to get off the ship early and avoid long tender ticket lines.
✓Wear good footwear for the steep, rocky cobblestone pathway with over 200 steps down to the bay.
✓Start the descent before the hottest parts of the day.
✓Consider the Ia to Fira hike if you're up for a 2.5-hour walk along the caldera cliffs.
