“Great excursion in Santorini with Nikos. Excellent communication via WhatsApp. We arrived via cruise ship and took the tender to Fira cable cars. Met Nikos at designated meeting point in Fira. Since we communicated the highlights we were hoping to see in advance, we were able to visit all the sights based on his recommendations to reduce crowds. Love Oia which we visited first thing and awesome pictures, black beach, red beach, Akrotiri archaelogical site (Nikos dropped us off and waited while we visited), Therasia, light house, quick lunch, and Fira at the end since we needed to take the cable cars back to ship. We did not do much…”
