We are cruising to Santorini and deciding between the cruise's Oia excursion or simply getting a high speed boat at Old Port to Oia. We are trying to find the fastest, least croweded way to get to Oia. We have heard that by booking the cruise's excursion, you tender to a different port and may be able to leave the ship quicker. There is then the 45 min bus ride to Oia. If we do the high speed boat to Oia ourselves, some are saying there may be a delay getting a tender with everyone else and then we may have to wait a while before the boat to Oia fills to capactiy. Then there is another bus from Oia port to town. Which would you recommend?
