Fira bay
Santorini is the most popular destination in Greece for cruises. Every year around 900,000 residents arrive in Santorini to admire the amazing landscape and the unique beauties of the island. Cruise ships anchor in the heart of the caldera and are served from the port of Athens, but also from the bay of Fira.
From the port of Fira, visitors are transported by buses, mini vans, etc., while from the rapids of Fira you are given the opportunity to go up to the capital of the island by cable car, following the 587 steps or by donkey. Most of the boats for trips to the volcano, the surrounding islands and the caldera depart from the bay of Fira.

Cruise Berthing Policy
The Municipal Port Fund of Thira decides the policy for the evaluation and approval of cruise call requests. It defines the evaluation criteria and the rules that apply the carrying capacity for the orderly operation of the port and the services to the visitors.
The berthing policy can be found here
The evaluation policy is implemented by the "Electronic Cruise Arrivals and Departures Management System". The system has been developed for the needs of the Port Fund of Thira and supports the decision process of planning cruise arrival-departure plans for one or more tourist seasons. Cruise line authorized partners access the system in order a. to submit and manage their requests and b. to get the results of the assessment at each time period. The following dates are defined for each year (season).
- Application Submission kick-off date, 27 months before the start of the season (i.e. October 1st of the corresponding year, if the season starts on January 1st, 27 months later)
- Submission Deadline, 16 months before the start of the season (submission period lasts 11 months)
- Publication of the results, 45 days after the submission deadline
System access is available through the link.
