Santorini Private Shore Excursion
Cruise-day private tour with cable-car pickup in Fira, a custom 4–8 hour route, and guaranteed on-time ship return.
A private Santorini shore excursion is the only way to see Oia, the caldera villages and a winery without racing a 50-seat bus. Marinakis Tours meets you at the Fira cable-car top, builds the day around your ship schedule, and gets you back with time to spare — EOT-licensed, English-speaking, family-run since 2000.
Typical cruise-day routes
- 4h highlights: Fira viewpoints → Imerovigli → Oia blue domes → return
- 5–6h classic: Pyrgos + Santo Wines tasting → Oia → return with buffer
- Full south: Akrotiri + Red Beach + Pyrgos → cable car with early finish
Cruise shore excursion FAQs
Where do you pick up cruise passengers in Santorini?
At the upper cable-car station in Fira (not at sea level). Your driver holds a name sign. Allow time for the cable car or donkey/mule ascent before meeting us.
How long should a private shore excursion be?
Most cruise guests book 4–6 hours. That covers Oia, a viewpoint village (Pyrgos or Imerovigli), and either a winery or Akrotiri — with buffer to return before all-aboard.
Will I make it back to the ship on time?
Yes. Share your ship name and all-aboard time when booking. We reverse-plan the itinerary and leave a safety buffer for cable-car queues.
What does a private Santorini shore excursion cost?
Same as our private bus tours: from €300 for a 4-hour vehicle (2 guests), scaling with duration and party size. No OTA markup when you book direct with Marinakis.
