    I think this tour was organised and executed as well as possible given the difficult circumstances of travel between Crete and Santorini and trying to fit the event into 1 day. I have always wanted to visit Santorini, but did not have the availability to stay on the Island itself - so when I saw there was a day tour to the island from Crete, I was so excited. The day was long, don't get me wrong. With a tour bus pick up at 6am, a 1.5 hour drive to the port at Crete, then a 2.5 hour ferry to Santorini, and another 45 minute bus ride to the first town. In saying this however, the Ferry and the Santorini bus were very comfortable, and the tour guide on the bus was knowledgeable and gave so many fun facts about the island to keep us entertained for the drives between Santorini towns. The time spent in the towns was adequate for taking pictures, shopping a little, and looking around in the streets. In Fira, the second town we visited, we had time for lunch also which was nice 😊 On the Ferry trip back the staff provided live greek music and encouraged the guests to dance around the boat which was fun. The final bus back to Chania from the port was a little rough, as it took a long time with traffic and passenger delays - and the driver did not announce which stop he was at, so I always worried I had missed mine, but other than that it was a good trip and worth the money so I could tick Santorini off my bucket list ❤️

    Response from the operator: Good morning! We would like to thank for taking the time to write your detailed feedback about our tour, we really appreciate it! We are very happy it met your expectations! We remain at your disposal. Best regards, DiscoverD1 Team

    Left Behind by Fast Paced Tour Guide

    We women, ages 82 and 75. We have taken excursions from cruise ships and River cruises. When one of us fell crossing the street, we were left behind! A tour guide behind us assisted and said to join them. We did! When we returned to the bus and told her the situation, she apologized. At the next stop her pace continued, leaving behind us and a couple with a stroller. We did catch up and wandered the tourist trap stores and small restaurants on our own.

    Fantastic Day Trip to Santorini

    A fantastic day trip to Santorini! Highly recommend! A lot of fun for the kids. Everything was very well organized, on time and done with perfection. From the pick up at 6am to the ferry ride and the bus transport in Santorini. We had an incredible guide who gave us a lot of historical information and made the rides to Oia and Fira a lot more interesting. Everyone from the personnel was very kind and willing to help anytime. On the way back, in the ferry, we were treated with an incredible performance by greek musicians who made everyone in board very excited! It was a long day, we came back at 9 pm filled with memories for lifetime!

    Response from the operator: Good morning! Thank you so much for taking the time to write this detailed and beautiful feedback, we are very happy you really enjoyed our tour! We remain at your disposal. Best regards, DiscoverD1 Team

    Santorini Fun

    Great trip. Follow instructions and you will be fine. It’s a long day so take advantage of sleeping on the bus and ferry. Take along swim attire/ towels as there’s optional tours that allow you to get in the water.

    Santorini Island Full-Day Sightseeing Tour from Chania: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Chania.

    How much does Santorini Island Full-Day Sightseeing Tour from Chania cost?

    +

    Prices start at €110 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Chania usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Santorini Island Full-Day Sightseeing Tour from Chania take?

    +

    Plan for about 15 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Chania is not rushed.

    Is Santorini Island Full-Day Sightseeing Tour from Chania worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.9/5 across 12 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Chania, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Santorini Island Full-Day Sightseeing Tour from Chania?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Santorini Island Full-Day Sightseeing Tour from Chania suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 15-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Santorini Island Full-Day Sightseeing Tour from Chania?

    +

    Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Chania can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Chania and add a light layer if any part of the 15-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Santorini Island Full-Day Sightseeing Tour from Chania start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Chania within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Chania?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Chania experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cretan Safari – 4x4 Adventure to Preveli Beach with Lunch, Elafonisi & Falasarna Small Group Tour from Chania w/snacks, Half-Day Rethymno Quad Safari. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Chania?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Chania?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Santorini Island Full-Day Sightseeing Tour from Chania?

    +

    Included: Boat Tickets; In-vehicle air conditioning; Pick-up and drop-off transfer; and Guide. Not included: Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Santorini Island Full-Day Sightseeing Tour from Chania include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 68 listed pickup locations in and around Chania. Be ready about 120 minutes before the start time.

    What languages is Santorini Island Full-Day Sightseeing Tour from Chania offered in?

    +

    It is offered in German, Russian, English, Polish, French and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Santorini Island Full-Day Sightseeing Tour from Chania?

    +

    Is Santorini Island Full-Day Sightseeing Tour from Chania wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Santorini Island Full-Day Sightseeing Tour from Chania if the weather is bad?
