FAQ

Is there a walking part?

A walk around the island at your own pace

Is it suitable for children?

Yes, if long journeys are well tolerated

Will we sit next to each other on the boat?

The shipping company SeaJets sells tickets for the ferry according to pre-assigned seat numbers. No tour operator can pre-select seats for clients, so we cannot guarantee seats nearby. However, there are almost always free seats left to sit next to, or you can agree with one of the passengers to change seats

Will there be a lunch?

Option to eat in a tavern (from 12-15 euros per person). We advise you to order lunch at any tavern on the beach, and while it is being prepared – relax on the beach. Since spending all the time in Fira for lunch is quite a pity. You can also take a snack with you. If for lunch you have chosen a restaurant with a view of the volcano – check the prices in advance, on Santorini the prices for the view are very high

Are there any changing rooms and showers on the beach?

The Perissa Beach is well organized. There you will find changing rooms, umbrellas and sunbeds, taverns and showers with fresh water.

Where will the bus pick me up?

We offer pick-up from various points such us hotels and bus stops. As soon as you complete the booking, we will contact you in order to let you know the exact place and time of the Pick-up which is closer to your place of staying.
