Santorini for Cruise Travelers! All you must-see!

Any cruise in the Mediterranean that promises an unforgettable experience visiting stunning destinations has to include Santorini in its itinerary! Santorini is a tiny island in the middle of the Aegean Sea that was devastated by a catastrophic volcanic eruption 3600 years ago. The eruption sunk more than half the island – thus fueling the myth that Santorini is the Lost Atlantis – and formed a stunning caldera, which is now one of the most spectacular natural sites Greece has to offer!

As your cruise ship enters the caldera of Santorini you will be awe-struck by the imposing magnificence of the towering rocks, and the powerful energy of the still active volcanoes, especially if it’s your first time here. Closing in, the white sugar-cube buildings that embellish the brim of the caldera start to show, and you will be gifted with the unforgettable memory of the first time you ever cruised into the port of Santorini; a life changing memory you will cherish in your heart forever! Santorini for cruise travelers is simply spectacular; here is all you must see!

Thousands of travelers arrive in cruise ships at Santorini and this is the spectacular view of Fira!

Once you disembark at the port of Santorini, there are a few things that you must see for an enjoyable cruise stop at an undeniably amazing destination. Fira, the capital, of course; then the picturesque Oia, Imerovigli and Firostefani, the medieval Pyrgos and Emporeio for their imposing Kastelia, Profitis Ilias for its breath-taking views and Akrotiri for its immense historical importance. Another must-see of Santorini is the unique volcanic beaches; the Black Sanded Beach and the Red Beach are two stops no one should miss when exploring this glorious island.
