Creator's Key Takeaways

the cruise ship anchors at the Bay of the surrounding of the volcano craters and passengers are transported to the small Port of Scala Gala is right below the town of Fiera which is perched at the top of the volcano's wall

once up the tender booat you are going to find a good number of shops with souvenirs on the island um also excellent and very well price dutyfree shops that sell tobacco liquor Spirits chocolates um and local Delicacies

the cable car has been around since 1979 it offers some spectacular views of the island and the journey takes less than 3 minutes it is smooth and comfortable and cost about €7 each way

the most traditional way to go up to Fiora is the old Greek Way by donkey or mule riding a donkey up the stairs and down is a typical attraction when visiting Santorini

Creator's Tips & Advice

Leave plenty of time for cable car lines, especially when returning to the ship
Keep an eye on small children near the water due to lack of rails
