tobyt Posted October 27, 2023 #1 Share Posted October 27, 2023 This port gave me cause for days and I struggled with how to handle. After reaching out to many operators opted to use Skyline for a truly memorable day. Yes, the tender and the cable car is not ideal but this was a stop I had been dreaming of! Up early and a tender ticket wait which was not awful, YES I got up early on vacation to be there long before our tour would start and I would do it again. Tender in then a short wait for the cable car, it was less than organized and I could easily see tempers flaring on a busy day or when lines are long. Thankfully we made it up no issues before the cable car stopped running due to some electrical problems. As a person who shut theirs eyes going up and down I would not be able to handle getting stuck! I did see people walking up and we did consider in the afternoon as the line was long but it moved quickly and I was glad not to smell like donkey poo! Vicky was a dream helper planning our day, quick to communicate and calming my nerves. Demetri our guide meet us right on time to start the adventure. Santorini is everything I thought it would be and more gorgeous! We saw it all, red beach, black beach, lighthouse, beer brewing company, Megchorli (my favorite) and of course the spectacular Oia. I loved it all and our tour was perfect! If you are hesitating, concerned or still researching here is my advice….get up EARLY, get on the tender and up the cable car, we actually were at the top several hours early and shopped and had a pastry…and weren’t crazy that we were going to miss our tour. Reach out to Skyline they will help you plan your perfect day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tobyt Posted December 13, 2023 Author #3 Share Posted December 13, 2023 Hello, it was a private tour. I used our roll call and met a like minded couple to share the cost. Depending on your activity on the roll call it should be pretty easy to find others to share. Vikki was super responsive and does these very cool photo shots of flying dresses that are beautiful. If I was younger and cuter I would have considered! Photos are amazing on their site! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
