The day trip was planned well. It was coordinated and was organised from our pickup from Chania to Seatjet boat seats. The Santorini trip has only two stops one in Oia village and other in Fira. Both are extremely crowded and busy. If you don’t mind that your are good to go. Also long que for toilets everywhere with 1 euro charge. Take plenty of coins and time to adjust that. Oia is beautiful but in one day trip you can only explore a little and buy souvenir if you want to explore properly then stay in Oia for couple of days lots of hotels. Fira was again very touristy and rush place we only had time to explore a little and have a Gyro. For us only boring part was seat jet trip which took 3 hrs one way. Overall well managed for one day trip and guide was knowledgeable and told a lot about Santorini.

This trip was very well organised. Departure was sharp on time and the allocated tour guide was easily identified in Santorini. The sea jet had allocated seats and all went smoothly. The awesome views in Fira and Oia Santorini were worth the long trip. The only concern was the drive from the port to the Santorini cities: a narrow road with very sharp turns in the mountain and busy traffic. Big tourist busses travel both way on a one way road. Some of the busses have to stop and give way to the ones coming from the opposite direction. Drivers have great skill and courage still it's a safety hazard with a sharp 500 m down drop.
