Santorini cruise port car hire
rent a car in Santorini cruise port (cable car)
The Santorini Cruise Port, located just below Fira at the base of the caldera cliffs, is a key entry point for thousands of visitors arriving by cruise ship. As there’s no docking pier for large ships, passengers are tendered ashore to the Old Port (Skala), where they can reach Fira by cable car, donkey ride, or a scenic hike up the steep path. Offering spectacular first impressions of the island’s dramatic landscape, the cruise port provides immediate access to the island’s capital, Fira—just a short ride up the cliff. Its central location makes it an ideal starting point for exploring Santorini’s iconic beauty, culture, and vibrant local life.
