  • One day in Santorini with our 8y/o and 10 y/o and with the grandparents on board NCL Getaway. It was really only 6 hours, but we got to see and take pictures where we wanted to. After the tender boat dropped us off at the old port, instead of waiting in the long cable car line to take you up or climbing the 586 steps in the heat, we took a water taxi straight to Oia then hopped on the included bus ride into downtown Oia. From there we went to the famous blue domes and white washed buildings.

    My girlfriend and I went to Santorini last week. It was an amazing place to visit and perfect time, as it wasn't hot and there wasn't huge crows like in summer time. We stayed at the Blue art cave airbnb, simply beautiful! One day we will come back.

    Your vid on Santorini was the best I have seen. What time did you get on line for the cable car to the ship. I’m going there in September of 2024.

      Thank you so much Philip! Our ship was scheduled to depart at 9:30pm and we fell in line just before 8:00pm. The line took about an hour and then probably another 20 minutes from the bottom of the cable car in Fira to the ship. But I’m thinking in September the line will be a little better than when we went in July. Have a great trip!

    Thank you for another great video. When you ended the day you didn't come back the way you went. Was the water taxi not available at night? I would prefer not to use the cable car.

      @@jpnbronx323 thanks Joe! Unfortunately, the water taxi is only 1-way. We would also prefer not to use the cable car but we had no choice.

    You should have stayed in Fira for the sunset and the lights coming on in the town on the left.

      It was very hot 🥵 and humid when we went in July. I would say average of around 95-100 degrees Fahrenheit

    In morning what time did first tender leave and what time did your tender leave?
    How long did you spend in oia?
    Did your water taxi tix from old port to oia include the bus to fira or did you have to catch a city bus to Fira?

      We fell in line to go back down around 7:45pm. Took about an hour to wait in the cable car line. Got into the cable car at 8:45pm. Waited in another line to go on to the tender boat to bring you back to the ship. Got on board the ship at 9:40pm. Have fun!

    Hello! Great video! Where is the pick up area at Oia to Fira? and where in Fira does it drop you off? Trying to make arrangements Thanks again

    • @DanimalFlores
      @DanimalFlores  10 місяців тому +1

      Hi! The pick up in Fira is at the bottom, of Fira where the cruise ship tenders drop you off there’s a little shop at the bottom there where you can buy tickets. It drops you off at the bottom of Oia and then you have to hike up a little bit where you can catch a free shuttle bus into the center of Oia. Have a great trip!

    If you have any sense you will go far away from this once gorgeous island, now ruined by greed and mass tourism. The height of the season is pure hell when cruise ships gorge thousands of people into the villages...Its mass overcrowding, its unsafe, and the infrastructure cannot cope!!

    • @DanimalFlores

      I think that’s a valid comment. This was our first visit to Santorini with both kids and grandparents on a family trip, so we decided on cruising as the easiest economical approach. However, the heavy crowds are definitely a challenge to navigate.
