Confirm these fees before you book so your operator plan and day budget match what you will pay onsite.
Santorini does not require a broad local marine park tag for ordinary guided recreational diving or snorkeling, but national accommodation and cruise fees may apply, and Greek underwater cultural heritage rules matter. Budget for accommodation climate fees, possible cruise arrival levies, optional Nea Kameni volcano landing fees, and operator charges for dive, snorkel, or freedive programs.
