Creator's Key Takeaways

Santorini cruise port hell and today it's been hell gorgeous place we're not saying that but Santorini you need to sort this out this is crazy

the cable car is beautiful very pretty but it just cannot cope with this number six carriages on each side is it carriages pods um and they take six in each

we were we were clever today because we've been on before so we got off on the first tender and there wasn't too much of a queue

the donkey Trail is a path that zigzags all the way up to the town which is high it's high up you'll see on our footage that I'm dropping in now

✓Get off on the first tender to avoid long queues
✓Wear good trainers and avoid flip-flops on the donkey path
✓Visit Santorini out of season (May, June, September, October) to avoid extreme heat
✓Bring sun cream, a hat, and water for the heat
