Santorini heldagstur fra Heraklion Kreta
Beskrivelse
Denne tur giver en fantastisk mulighed for turister, der opholder sig i Heraklion, Kreta, for at besøge Santorini og få en heldagstur rundt om øen. Vores første stop er Oia. Vi går rundt i landsbyen, beundrer den betagende udsigt til calderaen og tager nogle fantastiske billeder! Vores andet stop er Blue Dome i Firostefani. Denne græsk-katolske kirke fra det 16. århundrede er berømt for de tre klokker, den blå kuppel og selvfølgelig den fantastiske udsigt til calderaen. På vej mod syd vil vi besøge følgende berømte steder: Profitis Ilias, det højeste sted på øen, næsten 580 meter over vandet. Den smukke sorte strand i Perissa, til en lanceringspause ved havet. Svømning vil også være tilladt! Den berømte Røde Strand, nær Akrotiri Village, blev skabt for nogle tusinde år siden efter en række vulkanudbrud. Efter en uforglemmelig tur på øen, bliver vores gæster endelig sat af ved havnen i Santorini for at tage deres båd tilbage til Heraklion by på Kreta.

Oia er en af de vigtigste landsbyer på øen Santorini. Beliggende på den nordvestlige del af øen er Oia stedet med den mest berømte solnedgang og ikoniske udsigt over calderaen.
Blue Dome med de tre klokker ligger i landsbyen Firostefani. Hver dag besøger hundredvis af turister dette sted for at tage nogle fantastiske billeder på et af de mest ikoniske steder på øen.
Profitis Ilias er det højeste sted på øen Santorini næsten over havets overflade. Her kan du få en fantastisk 360° udsigt, forstå stedets topografi og tage nogle ekstraordinære panoramabilleder.
Den sorte sandstrand i Perissa - Perivolos er det ideelle sted for afslapning. Gæster vil have mulighed for at svømme og/eller have en lancering her. På denne 8 kilometer lange strandomkostning kan man finde alle slags restauranter, butikker, strandbarer og klubber. Sandet og vandet er fantastisk. Stranden er fuldt organiseret. Valgmulighederne er ubegrænsede.
Den røde strand i Akrotiri, beliggende på den sydøstlige del af øen, er måske den eneste røde vulkanstrand i verden. Dette unikke sted er resultatet af en række geologiske fænomener, der opstod i løbet af de sidste århundreder. Dette vulkanske landskab vil helt sikkert forbløffe dig!

Great, personalized tour. Skip the line treatment. Saw everything we wanted and great lunch break at Black Beach.
Thank you so much Danielle! I’m really glad you enjoyed the tour and your time at the Black Beach. My goal is always for guests to leave Santorini with great memories. Hope to see you again one day!
An excellent experience I highly recommend do not use the ones from Santorini but rather Crete like this gentleman it's much better value and you will have an incredible time
Thank you so much for your kind words and recommendation Grant! I’m really happy you had such a great experience. It was a pleasure meeting you, and I hope to welcome you again in Santorini one day!
I had an awesome experience. Super professional and knowledgeable about all things Santorini. The ferry from Crete was fast. My guide was waiting right at the dock with my name. I took the advice to be first off the ferry which was helpful as to not waste time. Would definitely book again
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! I’m really happy you enjoyed the tour and that everything went smoothly from the ferry to the sights. It was a pleasure having you, and I’d be delighted to see you again in Santorini someday!
This tour does not include a professional tour guide, just a driver who will cover the island. However, no professional tour guide is really needed for this tour. The island of Santorini is far too crowded with tourists from cruise ships as well as from the ferries serving the island. And everyone wants the same photos. The result is real overcrowding on the narrow streets of the towns. This recently has been exacerbated by the explosion of a Greek law previously limiting the number of visitors to the island. As a result there has been more than a five-fold increase in the number of daily visitors to Santorini — so far. When we arrived by high-speed ferry from Heraklion, there were 40(!) tour buses waiting in the port waiting for pre-arranged tours. The road up from the port to the central ridge is a series of narrow, winding switchbacks. At the driver’s request, we debarked from the ferry quickly and managed to beat the initial rush. Our driver, Tasos (Anastasios) proved to be quite adept at navigating his way through the crowds in Oia. He ensured we each got all the usual photos there, then proceeded to take us around the rest of the island. We ate lunch at a restaurant on a black sands beach, then returned to the port in time to catch the ferry back to Heraklion. Throughout the day, Tasos never lost track of the time. There never was any worry about being able to catch the ferry (which was the last one off the island — miss it and we would be stuck on the island overnight!). Throughout the day, Tasos provided an enlightening running commentary based on his own experiences living and working on Santorini. In all, a wonderful day exploring Santorini. The overcrowding of the island created unexpected challenges. While Tasos maneuvered us every through the crowds, the overcrowding still made the trip less pleasurable. (Not Tasos’ fault!). There was neither time nor opportunity for just taking in the ambience.
Dear Lars, Thank you so much for taking the time out to leave me such a detailed review. First of all, I would like to express my total agreement regarding the excessive number of visitors arriving in Santorini every day. It is true that the island suffers from high traffic and enormous crowds, especially during the summer season. This situation is well known to both local and global tourism professionals, as well as to the most of the island's visitors. Nevertheless, I am very happy to hear that you were very satisfied from the way I managed to overcome this situation, keeping the level of my service pretty high. It is true that I am always trying to prepare and protect my clients against this phenomenon which is completely out of my hand to change or control. Thanks to my long experience, I can manage time and pace effectively, while I am offering safety and comfort, knowledge and pleasure throughtout the most of my experiences. Consequently, I would like to admit that I am feeling deeply disappointed for this 4-star review which is mostly focused on the phenomenon of over tourism in Santorini. As you have already mentioned "this is not my fault" and I would really prefer if your evaluation was more reflecting the level of services provided, rather than a general situation which is regulated and controlled by external factors.
Loved the private tour with Tasos. He was awesome and did a photo shoot of us in all the famous places. He showed us the best places on Santorini in a day. Thank you for a wonderful time. The only issue was the fact that the title of this booking was Santorini Full day tour from Heraklion so we thought we would have arrangements from Heraklion to Santorini but that was not the case so we had to get to Heraklion port and then buy ferry tickets on Seajet (358 euros) in addition to the price of this booking. SO ended up being a very expensive trip to Santorini.
Dear guest, Thank you so much for your kind words and for giving me a great opportunity to answer to your concern regarding ferry ticket costs. In Greece, the shipping companies that connect Crete with Santorini are private companies with their own Pricing, Cancellation and Data Protection Policies. This is the main and only reason why I would recommend my clients to choose and decide using their own criteria. Thank you once again for your review. I wish you a very Happy New Year with lots of love, health and happiness! Best regards, Tasos
Santorini wasn’t as nice as we had hoped, it was only a few buildings with white and blue. The guide was very nice though and brought us to all the places one must see.
Dear Michael, Thank you so much for taking the time out to leave your review. I am very happy to hear that you had a good time during our tour, although the island did not meet your expectations. At least, we had the chance to cover all the best spots and take some nice pictures. It was a real pleasure to meeting you and spending time with you! I wish you all the best for the future! Best regards, Tasos
This was a fun experience! Highly recommended for travelers with limited time to island hop or just want to see the highlights of Santorini in one day. Tasos was a great guide. He provided a lot of information about the island and during each stop we made. He also was very diligent in regularly checking the ferry time to ensure we were back at the ferry on time for departure back to Heraklion.
Dear guest, I am very happy to hear that you had such a good time during your full day tour from Herakleion. This gives me the strength to continue the hard work. I wish you all the best and hope to welcome you back again in Santorini in the near future. Best regards, Tasos
