Fast Ferries Around the World: 12 Crossings to Book

1.Santorini Day Trip with Fast Ferry Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 365 reviews · 11 - 12 hours · from $199Our pick

Review of the Crete to Santorini fast ferry day trip, with Oia and Fira visits, timing, costs, transport tips, and who should book.

“The tour was good overall. Santorini is super popular, and the views on the way to Oía are stunning. The town is packed with shops, and every corner is perfect for photos. Fira isn't really worth exploring, unless you're interested in visiting the volcano or grabbing a bite to eat at one of the restaurants – which tend to be a bit pricey. Our guide recommended one restaurant in particular, but I'd suggest taking a stroll around the center and seeing what catches your eye before deciding where to eat.”
