Ultimate Santorini

This is a great option for those who want to enjoy and learn about this amazingly beautiful island in a small guided group. Arriving at Fira, Santorini's capital, you'll walk along the narrow cobblestone streets to the Prehistoric Museum. The museum houses findings from various excavations all over the island but especially ones from the excavations at Akrotiri. Continue to the picturesque town of Oia; once a major fishing harbor it is now the calmest place on the island. Built high up on the ridge of red rocks it offers breathtaking views of the blue Aegean. Following your visit to Oia, you'll proceed to the famous village of Imerovigli, where at a local restaurant you’ll enjoy a Greek style dinner while looking at breathtaking views of the caldera and the volcano. You’ll conclude at the hilltop village of Fira, where you'll have the option of returning directly to your ship or remaining in town to shop or explore independently. From Fira, join the cable car and descend independently to the old port (your cable car ticket will be provided). Note: Tour participation is limited, but is subject to a minimum number of participants to operate. Tour involves walking for approximately 1/2 mile on level, some steps and cobblestone streets. Amount of walking and exertion during free time is up to you. Not recommended for guests on wheelchairs. Temperatures can reach extreme highs during summer months; we recommend that you drink a lot of water and use suitable sun protection. Lines for the cable car are very long, especially during summer months or when there are several ships in port; please allow sufficient time to return to the tender landing pier. The Prehistoric Museum is closed on Mondays. Guests on the Norwegian Jade sailing of July 13, 2012 will instead visit a winery.
