clc Posted July 6, 2004 #2 Share Posted July 6, 2004 I booked a tour of Santorini through http://www.oceanwave.com for our Aug. 1st cruise to the Med. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RxTexan Posted July 6, 2004 #3 Share Posted July 6, 2004 I am using Markos through Santorini.us. He has a website and has been easy to communicate with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makita Posted July 6, 2004 #4 Share Posted July 6, 2004 Hello, we just returned from our trip and spent the day in Santorini on our own. The island is not large and we rented a motor scooter and toured all around on our own, it was a GREAT day! It's not possible to get lost, you just look for water. We really enjoyed Oia, and went down to the Bay of Alhumbra below Oia for very fresh fish caught the nite before. I'm not adventurous, but I did try Octopus, it was interesting. Enjoy, Beth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shmabbies Posted July 6, 2004 #5 Share Posted July 6, 2004 To CLC - your link brings me to a page for a computer company that appears to have nothing to do with Santorini or travel??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mad4cruising Posted July 6, 2004 #6 Share Posted July 6, 2004 Shmabbies, I also booked Ocean Wave Tours. Dimitris, the owner, has been very prompt and professional with his correspondence. If you go to http://www.santorini.com, you will find a link for the company, along with lots of other info about the island. Hope this helps.

shmabbies Posted July 6, 2004 #7 Share Posted July 6, 2004 Thanks mad4cruising. We loved Santorini so much as a cruise stop a few years ago that we plan to spend a week there next year. Trying to explore all options!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tritsi Posted July 9, 2004 #8 Share Posted July 9, 2004 We used Dimitri in santorini and had a great time. I highly recommend his service.He has a web site:http://www.oceanwavetours.com and his mail: info@oceanwavetours.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownj Posted July 9, 2004 #9 Share Posted July 9, 2004 Our favorite port was Santorini! We took the half day tour from http://www.santorinidaytours.com/ and still had time to shop and make it back to the ship for a late lunch. Everyone takes either the gondola or the donkies back down to the tenders! Fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zebra Posted July 9, 2004 #10 Share Posted July 9, 2004 Those of you who have been there before - please give me some advice. Everyone says the shopping is great but no one has indicated what they have bought???? Also should one shop in Oia or Fira (or both)???? Also, is jewelry cheaper on the mainland - in Athens, than on the islands? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jezzdogg Posted July 11, 2004 #11 Share Posted July 11, 2004 Since scooters are out, as my dh can not even ride a bike (no balance) is the next best thing to do ...hire a guide, or can we do this on our own. Need advice which way to go, and if a tour operator, which one is really legimate. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterhart Posted July 12, 2004 #12 Share Posted July 12, 2004 I was in Santorini couple of months ago with Star Princess. I hired a cab #33...went all over. Had a great lunch. His name was Manonue 09 44 54 12 53. Tooks us every where we wanted to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dondiane Posted July 18, 2004 #13 Share Posted July 18, 2004 Make sure you bring a copy of the agreed prices. We booked him in May. He did an excellent job and we were very pleased with the tour. There were 11 of us in total. He put four of us in contact with the other 7. Each of us paid a different deposit and when we paid him on the tour our total price was 50 euro more than what he had quoted us. Santori is beautiful. He brought us to a delightful restaurant right on the water for a wonderful Greek luncheon. Enjoy your trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SReeder Posted July 19, 2004 #14 Share Posted July 19, 2004 Has anyone tried the mopeds? I am interested in knowing if that would be a good way to see santorini? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
