If you have any sense you will go far away from this once gorgeous island, now ruined by greed and mass tourism. The height of the season is pure hell when cruise ships gorge thousands of people into the villages...Its mass overcrowding, its unsafe, and the infrastructure cannot cope!!
@DanimalFlores3 ай бұрын
I think that’s a valid comment. This was our first visit to Santorini with both kids and grandparents on a family trip, so we decided on cruising as the easiest economical approach. However, the heavy crowds are definitely a challenge to navigate.

Livorno is a bad city to first time cruise tourists. The local government grabs money from tourists if they take a city bus and train. Tourists not only buy the bus tickets but also need to scan each ticket on a scan machine to have the time stamp. The government employees get onto each bus or train to check tourists’ tickets. If there is no scanned stamp on the ticket, each tourist will be fined 40 euros. There is no warning sign to reminder tourists to scan bus or train tickets. This is a bad city to visit.

We fell in line to go back down around 7:45pm. Took about an hour to wait in the cable car line. Got into the cable car at 8:45pm. Waited in another line to go on to the tender boat to bring you back to the ship. Got on board the ship at 9:40pm. Have fun!

Hi, we will be cruising out to Athens from Istanbul, could you tell me if it is easy to leave the port in the morning and return to the ship in the afternoon, from other's video, it showed there were many check points for passport, luggage,..drugs...etc before entering the ship. Thank you for your information.
@DanimalFlores5 ай бұрын
Unfortunately, I don’t know what it’s like to cruise from Istanbul into Athens, but the cruise port in Athens is Piraeus, which was about 45 minutes drive away from Athens city center. Moreover, there was traffic getting out of Piraeus port. We had prearranged transfer and even the van took a while to arrive into port because of traffic. I’m sure there are alternative transportation options that I’m not familiar with. Good luck with your planning!

When he dropped us off in the city center of Florence we just walked around and found our own places to eat and shop.

Hi! The pick up in Fira is at the bottom, of Fira where the cruise ship tenders drop you off there’s a little shop at the bottom there where you can buy tickets. It drops you off at the bottom of Oia and then you have to hike up a little bit where you can catch a free shuttle bus into the center of Oia. Have a great trip!
