1.Santorini Guided Day Trip From Crete with Ferry Tickets

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 591 reviews · 10 hours - 690 minutes · from $199Our pick

See Oia and Fira on a full-day Santorini trip from Crete with ferry tickets, transfers, local guides, and an optional volcano cruise.

“We had a great day out and the trip is exceptionally organised. Both of our transfers to and from heraklion were early and easy to find. We did get to the port over 1 hour before the ferry in the morning but assume this is incase of traffic. Take a coffee as nothing open at 6:45am! The ferry itself was fine, and again transport at Santorini was easy to find. Tour guide was knowledgeable and happy to help. Santorini is beautiful and could have spent a few more hours as it’s a long day travelling for less than 2 hours in each town, but there is only 1 ferry home…”

2.Santorini Day Trip with Fast Ferry Cruise

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

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.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 119 reviews · from $15Best value

Review of the Agistri ferry from Athens, including price, timing, comfort, check-in, onboard facilities, drawbacks, and who should book.

“The island of Agistri beautiful and worth the trip but the ferry trip very hard. A school trip sailed with us ( full ferry of teenagers). Saronic transport company organizationally performed very poorly. huge delays in both directions, terrible noise and smoking in every corner of the ferry. Next time I would choose another company.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 29 reviews · 9 hours · from $206

Review of Hydra from Athens: ferry tickets, private transfers, four hours on a car-free island, costs, timing, and practical tips.

“Yiannis was an excellent guide and made the day trip fun and enjoyable. He was punctual for both pick up and drop off at the hotel, with great communication throughout the day. He his personality made the experience smooth and enjoyable. He even added a special extra stop on the return trip to catch an unforgettable Athens sunset. Hydra itself is absolutely stunning—charming streets, secluded beaches, and a peaceful vibe that made it the perfect ending to my trip. It's truly worth the visit, and I only wish I had more time to soak in Hydra’s beauty.”

6.Aegina Island E-Bike Tour with Ferry Tickets

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 7 reviews · 1 day · from $198Top rated

Ride from Athens to Aegina by e-bike, visiting Aphaia, Paleochora, pistachio groves, coastal roads, and the island town.

“An amazing day with Konstantinos which started with an early whizz through the back streets of Athens down to the port with a couple of stops for photos and pastries. Once in the island we cycled (with of course some electric assistance!) up to the start point of the lovely hike - what views! Back down and along the coast road where we could have stopped to swim we chose to spend a bit more time in the main town before a lovely local lunch and the ferry back. Konstantinos was an engaging and knowledgeable guide and we’ll definitely be back to do more tours with him.”
