Cruises to Santorini stop at Oia, Fira, the caldera, and beaches like Red Beach and Perivolos in Greece. Taste seafood, local cheeses, olives, and pastries, and explore cliffside lanes, small wineries, markets, and island festivals. The blue-and-white houses on Oia’s volcanic cliffs are the most iconic view in the Greek Isles, set above multi-colored beaches and warm Aegean waters. A cable car links the old port to Fira, where you can join a hands-on Greek cooking class. Adventurous travelers can visit the prehistoric Akrotiri Archaeological Site, once buried by a massive eruption. Wine lovers can sample Agiorgitiko, Xinomavro, and pine-infused Retsina.
