So, there's four ships on 9/28 coming into Santorini, 3 at 8 am (two of them are smaller, one large) and ours EPIC not until 1 pm. One of the small ships leaves at 5, the other smaller one at 10, the larger one at 9, and us also at 10. My thoughts, and I'm writing this to get others' perspectives, is that the cable car should not be an issue going up in the early afternoon (1-2p). I question whether it will be an issue getting back down via cable car between 6 and 8pm? What time would you think most people are headed back to their ship? I'd just as soon watch the sunset from the ship and hoping to get off, do some window shopping and a cocktail or two and head back. So, head up at 1:30, head back down at 5:30....would that avoid major crowds at the cable car in your opinion?
