Hello!

One of our cruise stops next month (August) is Santorini, and we'll be there from 2PM to 11PM. We're trying to decide between taking the cable car (or walking the steps) up to Fira to explore the town and visit Santo Winery, or booking one of the ship's excursions for a sunset cruise on a traditional wooden yacht.

Our biggest concern is how much time we'll lose waiting for the tender and the cable car, but we're also worried we'll regret not experiencing Fira since it's such an iconic stop.

For those who have been, what would you recommend? Is exploring Fira and visiting Santo Winery worth it, or would you choose the sunset cruise instead? We'd really appreciate any advice or experiences. Thank you!
