Creator's Key Takeaways

They're trying to handle things. And now there is another dispute with the cruise lines and they're calling foul on the cruise lines saying that all the lineups that are to get on the tram in Santorini are deliberately caused by the cruise lines.

The mayor of Santorini who is pretty much anti- tourism really keeps saying he's not oh the cruise lines are a vital part of our industry but they have to respect the culture and everything and the diversity of our etc etc.

The day I was there, it didn't happen. So, we're even.

Is that too long a wait? Heck, I waited almost 40 minutes to get on the tender. I think another 30 minutes wouldn't have killed me.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Understand that Santorini has a 70/30 rule for passenger disembarkation to the main shopping district.
Be prepared for potential wait times for the tram or tenders, which can be around 30-40 minutes.
If you have a shore excursion, you may need to use a different tender system to avoid missing your tour.
