Santorini Day Trip - We booked a tour to Santorini without a transfer, with the meeting point at Heraklion port. We received detailed instructions via WhatsApp.
At the port, we were given paper tickets and boarded the ferry. The ferry was very large and comfortable.
On Santorini, there were many buses, and the bus number was indicated on our ticket. The guide was waiting by the bus.
Regarding the excursion: We chose a tour at the end of October, which is the end of the season. There weren’t too many tourists, so it was comfortable. We visited two small towns. The free time at the stops was sufficient for us, though some might find it short, but this is due to the ferry departure schedule. Prices on the island are higher than on Crete. I would recommend not spending too much time in restaurants if you plan to take a lot of photos.
Overall, I would recommend this trip. The tour organization was excellent. It might be best to plan a visit at the beginning or end of the tourist season when there are fewer tourists on the island. For us, this was the perfect way to visit Santorini without staying there for a few days.
