Rare MeganGC1983 Posted April 25, 2023 #1 Share Posted April 25, 2023 I’ve read and read cable car and tender questions on here, but I’m wondering… If sunset is at 8:32pm, we leave a Fira restaurant by 8:35pm… can we walk down the stairs in the 25 minutes? Is that logical? I’d like to watch the sunset, and I’m about to make a restaurant deposit… back onboard time is 9:30. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeHeartCruising Posted April 25, 2023 #2 Share Posted April 25, 2023 I would say that's cutting it very close. I think 25 minutes going down is right in that sweet spot of what it takes to walk down hill. Some will take more time. Some will take less time. Me? I would start down 45-60 minutes before last tender and take my time and take pictures of the sunset along the way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mapleleaves Posted April 25, 2023 #3 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Wouldn't be in my comfort zone. We enjoyed the views from the ship ! It was wonderful to look up and watch the lights slowly coming on across the island then watch the sun set on the horizon. Then when it was totally dark we enjoyed the lights on the donkey path as it criss crossed up the cliff, the lights of the cable cars, and the towns totally lit up. Actually those were some of my favorite views of Santorini. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no "back on board" time in Santorini, all passengers are tendered. "Last tender time" is usually 60 minutes before sailaway. Can you clarify ? Cos as per Me💗Cruising's post it's quite tight timing JB 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m thinking it will be cutting it too close. Back up plan is to get a table down at the port and watch it from there. Then join one of the last tenders. What do you think?

We've never been there in the evening, but the bar at the upper cablecar station might suit, or mapleleaves isn't the only member who's said that the sunset is pretty good on-board.
