“A great way to see 2 beautiful islands on Santorini. Pick up at 6.45 am dropped off at 7.30pm. Oia was stunning with its blue domes. It wasn’t overly busy on the day and you had the opportunity to take some great pictures. Not really suitable for limited mobility as there are cobbles and steps and the tiles can be slippy. Some lovely independent shops and restaurants. Thira… again some great photo opportunities with some nice little independent shops, restaurants. A must is to go into the church and admire the amazing paintings on the roof. Not as nice as oia. The fast ship takes around 2 hours but flies…”

“Es war ein guter Ausflug, Preveli und Plakias sind schöne Orte. Einzige Kritikpunkte: Preveli hat zu wenig WCs, die Wartezeiten sind ewig und die Bootstour dauerte viel länger als angegeben, da wir zusätzlich Leute in einem anderen Dorf in entgegengesetzter Richtung aufladen mussten, ich hätte einen längeren Aufenthalt in Dorf 1 bevorzugt, es hat eine wunderschöne Kirche auf einem Berg und die Zeit hätte locker gereicht, diesen Ort besser zu erkunden und erst beim erneuten Stopp des Taxis dort einzusteigen.”
