Santorini Port Rent a Car - Useful Information

If you travel by cruise ship, the experience will surely leave you with lasting memories. Cruise ships that reach the island of Santorini do not anchor at Athinios port, but one or two miles away from the old port of the island. Locals with fishing boats transfer cruisers to the old port, which seems not to have changed over the last 50 years. From there you can either use the cable car to reach the town of Fira, which will take no more than 5 minutes, or if you like small adventures you can ride a donkey, which climbs up a small path on the cliff to Fira. The latter option will last longer, but is definitely a unique experience. Once you get there your Santorini car hire will be waiting for you free of charge.

Bear in mind that transport by sea always depend to the weather. Especially in winter or raining monsoon, the ferry may postpone the departure time.
