I need advice. We are taking our cruise in October and arrive in Santorini at 1:30. There are 4 of us and none of the shore excusions offered really do what I want to do. So I was going to book a private tour through Viator. But the private tours meet in Fira which means we have to get up somehow. I am worried that if we are not on a excursion through the ship it will take forever to get a tender and then we will have to wait in the cable car line. How much of our short stay will that eat up? We may be able to take a ferry to Oia. But we still have the issue of getting off the ship after all the tour groups. We could book an excusion through the ship to get us to Oia, then get private transpostation to the other spots. Would that work?
The sights I'd like to see are Oia, Akrotiri, Emporia and I heard about a fish spa thing we could do. We are in port till 10:00 but for me it's all about great photos so after I don't care.
I am also curious, can I get good photos from the ship? Can we get sunset photos from the ship?
