[OBRN1]

Hello we will be on Odyssey of the seas at the end of October. What do you recommend to do in Santorini. I looked at the cruise port map we are the only ship in at the date we arrive there. Im hearing horror stories about the tram. What is the weather like in late October. Any suggestions appreciated tours or walking on our own. Thank you

Do you mean the cable car?

 

How lucky you are to be the only ship in that day, but you will be tendering  from a big ship, so unless you have a cruiseline status which will give you priority tendering, it could be some time before you can get off.

 

Lots of weather info to be found online by simply searching something like "average weather Santorini October"(and maybe November too if you are right at the end of the month) or simply "Santorini weather October"

 

As for sightseeing, where you go and what you do is entirely your own decision, ideally something which suits your interests.  While many cruise pax choose to visit Oia and/.or Fira, you do not have to do that. You could look online at something like "Santotini sightseeing" for ideas. And the usual Tripadvisor, Youtube, Frommer's,Fodors, Rick Steves and any others which appear in your "Santorini sightseeing" search. results.

 

Should you decide to visit Oia and Fira, many many past threads you could browse, simply use the search too to find them quickly and easily.

 

and there is the "pinned" thread at the very top of this Greek ports forum, full of Qs and As.

October is good as less crowded and cooler too.
