thanks for the report. what time was your excursion? I doubt that in the morning there is no option to return by bus to the new port. did you book on the ship or in advance?
We left the ship about mid-afternoon, almost as soon as we docked in Santorini and the ship leaves Santorini about in about 11pm..we booked this really well in advance, because these seem to be popular and the places filled up quickly... this is of course a fairly reasonably priced excursion
@@kuffadronethank you! Great video, lots of great info. We just booked the same excursion with bus transfer but scheduled for the 4pm departure. 90 minutes does seem short for Oia. May I ask what a few questions: -where did the bus drop you off/pick up in Oia? Same place? -what time did you return to the boat after exploring Fira? TIA!
Yes, off/pick up is from the same place.. it's about a 5-10 min walk to the Church of Panagia. You can see the place if you look at Oia - Tour buses on google maps. There is a parking area. For us, the return started by bus about an hour after we arrived in Fira. But there was an option to stay in Fira and return to the ship yourself using the cable ride.. The guide distributes the tickets. But, I can promise that, the guide will give good instructions during the bus trip. You are sure to have a great day in Santorini.

Great video 😀 Do you have the option to return to the ship by coach? Or did you have to make your own way back?
You definitely have the option to return to the ship using the bus..as we did. the only downside is that your time in Fira is quite short.
@@kuffadrone thank you for the response! I have just booked this 😀
