We Skipped the Excursions and Did THIS Instead in Santorini | Perfect Port Day For Seniors

Santorini was the one port where we decided to do something a little different. Before our cruise, we set aside a $250 "bonus" from our vacation budget to spend any way we wanted—and this was the day we used it. Instead of booking a traditional cruise excursion, we hired private drivers to take us from Fira to Oia, giving us the freedom to explore at our own pace and maximize our time. The result? A long, leisurely lunch at "The Blue Domes" restaurant in Oia. The views are absolutely breathtaking (yes, the actual blue-domed churches are in the shot!), the food was extra flavorful and the overall experience was the definition of "treat yourself." If you're cruising to Santorini and wondering whether a private driver is worth the extra cost, this video will help you decide.
