Thira, Santorini cruise port guide
"Thira, the Wild Island" and "Kalliste, the Fairest One" - all terms of endearment for this seductive, volcanic Greek island in the Sea of Crete. Extraordinary for its black sand beaches and sheer limestone cliffs, Santorini also showcases remnants of the Phoenician, Spartan and Minoan cultures, which fell under the island's spell - an unvarying, irresistible lure that continues to this day. Fira, the picturesque, pedestrian-only capital, is reached from the seaport via a short cable car ride that offers thrilling views as you ascend.
About Thira, Santorini
Santorini (officially Thira) is perhaps the most recognizable island in the Aegean, shaped by one of history's most powerful volcanic eruptions around 1600 BC. Cruise passengers arrive by tender at Skala Fira then ascend to the clifftop by cable car. The island's distinctive white-washed architecture, wine culture (Assyrtiko grapes), and ancient Akrotiri ruins are exceptional.
