As our luxury cruise ship the Silversea Silver Shadow sailed towards Santorini, we all got up early to see the the sun rise over the spectacular volcanic Greek island. Cruise ships anchor in the ancient caldera of the volcano. I made this photo of the Silversea Silver Shadow anchored below the city of Fira on Santorini while on a ship's tender ashore. To access Santorini via cruise ship you either have to take a short tender ride to the supply dock and ride a bus up the mountain to the top of the island, or take a tender to the base of the island directly below Fira and then take a cable car, donkey, or walk to the summit. It may not seem easy to see Santorini, but it's worth it! Since we were meeting a bus for a shore excursion, we took the tender to the supply dock, toured the island, and ended up in Fira for a late lunch and some shopping. We opted for the cable car down!
