You can choose a pickup location at checkout (multiple pickup locations are available).
Pickup details:

We provide pickup from all Santorini hotels and Airbnbs. If your hotel is not directly accessible by car due to local restrictions, pickup will be arranged from a nearby spot within short walking distance. Cruise passengers with independent plans (not on ship excursions) will arrive at the Old Port of Fira (Scala Port) by tender boats. Since the Old Port is car‑free, you’ll need to take the Cable Car up to Fira town (signposted and just a 2‑minute walk from the docks). At the top, the meeting point is in front of McDonald’s, located on the main road about a 5‑minute walk from the Cable Car exit. Your private vehicle will meet you there, as the Cable Car area itself is also within a pedestrian zone.
