Santorini, the shining star of the Greek Isles, is a destination port that greets cruise travelers with its cliffside villages, blue-domed churches, and sweeping views of the Aegean Sea. As part of many Eastern Mediterranean and Greek Isles itineraries, this volcanic island combines postcard-perfect scenery with rich heritage. Ships anchor offshore, and passengers tender ashore at the Old Port of Fira. From there, a cable car, footpath, or even a traditional donkey ride carries visitors up the caldera to the heart of the island. Wander through Oia's postcard-perfect alleys, sip wine cultivated in volcanic soil, and uncover the ancient ruins of Akrotiri—an archaeological treasure frozen in time. Santorini’s signature dishes include tomatokeftedes (crispy tomato fritters) and white eggplant specialties, best enjoyed with a glass of Assyrtiko wine.
