What is the best way back to Athens from Santorini since the tour ends in Santorini?

There are 2 options in making your way back to Athens from Santorini - you can fly for which the journey time is approximately 50 minutes to an hour; or you can take the ferry, which depending on the vessel and company can mean a journey time of anywhere from 4 to 10 hours. For this reason, we generally recommend flying for the sake of convenience, but it is entirely up to you.

We had a fantastic tour of Greece mainland & a few of the Islands. Only complaint is the hotel in Kalambaka which is not up to standard.

Public transportation wasted lot of time. Going to Thassalonoki was not worth it since you get there in the middle of the day (train from Meteora) and leave next morning in a train to Athens so it was NOT worth the efforts and time. Guide had changed her initial meeting time but did not notify in time, majority of the time her focus was to who you like or is 'cool' or fun to be with, while hiking Caldera in Santorini, she should have made sure the group is together relatively, everyone should be in sight, may be a different pace but all in sight and relatively close by. Not everyone can hike at the same speed, some want to take pictures or take the scenery in and not necessarily rush it.This is strictly for safety reason, there is always a risk in hiking, it was hot also. It is by far better to have a Greek guide in Greece than someone who has transplanted for less than 5 years.Show more

Hi Leena, Thank you for your review, I am sorry to hear that public transport wasted a lot if your time and parts of the itinerary didn't meet your expectations. This is great feedback that I will pass on to our Product Manager. Thank you, Intrepid Travel
