Santorini Escape
New
Starting in Crete, you’ll transfer to Heraklion Port for a high speed hydrofoil to Santorini – a swift 2.5 hour hop across the Aegean. Over two days, you’ll explore the island’s volcanic story, caldera edge villages and dramatic viewpoints. Expect to see whitewashed lanes, cliffside tavernas and postcard views as you tour, with time to wander Oia’s streets and soak up Fira’s scene. The pace blends guided highlights with free time – ideal for browsing boutiques, visiting viewpoints or simply relaxing with that blue and white backdrop. You’ll sail back to Heraklion and continue to your hotel – starting and finishing in Crete.

Itinerary
Day 1 - Heraklion - Santorini - Oia
We collect you early from your hotel in Crete and transfer to Heraklion Port for the fast hydrofoil to Santorini, departing at 08:00 for a journey of approximately 2.5 hours across the Aegean. On arrival, we begin a guided tour of the island – taking in its key landmarks and learning about its volcanic landscape. We visit a caldera rim town, where whitewashed houses, narrow cobblestone lanes and cliffside tavernas cascade down the slopes, then continue to Oia. Here, you have free time to wander its picturesque streets, capture the views and enjoy the island’s atmosphere at your own pace. The tour concludes in Fira, Santorini’s capital, from where you make your own way to your hotel and enjoy the evening at leisure. Overnight in Santorini.
Day 2 - Santorini - Heraklion
After breakfast at your hotel, you have the day at leisure to discover more of Santorini at your own pace. You might wander Fira’s winding lanes, browse local boutiques, seek out nearby viewpoints or simply relax and enjoy the iconic caldera scenery.
At the designated time, we collect you from your hotel for a shared transfer to the harbour, where we board the high–speed hydro boat back to Heraklion. On arrival at Heraklion Port, we transfer you by private vehicle to your hotel in Crete.
