Fun boat tour, don’t do the full day.

Eric_s, May 2023
The stop at the caldera and time on the boat was nice. Too big of a group and it took a very long time to board after each stop. Also we did the full day tour and after the boat ride we didn’t know where to go to get our transfer. The tour guide just asked for our ticket and walked away before I could dig it out. Very disorganized.

Honeymoon match 🚢💕🌋

5 thumbs up to our guide Ulysses for guiding us through the volcano and sharing with us historical and geographical data about the island. Thanks for his patience and sense of humour. Even though we were surprised to be on our own during bus transfers and we got bored while waiting for sunset in Oia ( pronounce “e-I “)among masses of tourists, we’ve enjoyed that dynamic day hiking, swimming, cruising and marveling at instagrammable Santorini!
