Among Santorini’s sights, the prehistoric settlement discovered in Akrotiri holds sway. It consists of one of the most important archaeological sites in the Aegean. It stands on the southwestern tip of the island, 15km away from the Phera. Excavation started there systematically in 1967.

It lies around 30 minutes by road from Firostefani, and it will truly bewitch you since being indeed overwhelming. The main road divides it into two territories: the one, towards Caldera, has impressive underground edifices, while the other is adorned with captain-houses (capetanospita). At the settlement’s side lies the castle, with its remaining parts offering unique views of the infinite blue and the famous sunset.

Perfect customizable tour!

Leo was our driver/tour guide. We were late departing the cruise ship, but Leo was there waiting for us to start our tour of Santorini. I had a few ideas of what I wanted to see, and Leo added great suggestions. As we drove, Leo was able to tell us all about the island and Greek culture. We found great spots for photos and good shopping in Oia, and then headed over to the black sand beach. We had an amazing lunch at Leo's favorite restaurant and relaxed on the beach. Afterwards, Leo dropped us off in another village where we meeting friends for dinner. Throughout, Leo found the perfect balance of being there for our group, but giving us time to enjoy the sights on our own.

Private tour of Santorini with Mark

At first, we were supposed to meet at the cable car, but Mark wasn’t able to find a parking, so it was difficult to meet him at first. And then it was very good to be driven around Santorini Island with explanations. At the end of the excursion, not five hours, but four hours and half around Mark seem to be hurry to leave the place. So we can say that the experience was good, but not extra. And it could be better. I’m a bit disappointed thank you.

Excellent company to use

Best tour we ever took. Panagiotis was amazing he explained so much of the history of Santorini. I highly recommend this company. We felt safe and was asked if we wanted to do something different then what the tour offered. He is a safe driver, clean vehicle. I will be recommending him to all friends and family.

The only way to tour Santorini!

This was by far the best way to get a full view of the gorgeous island of Santorini! Tour guide was awesome!! Very knowledgable and extremely accommodating! Gave my wife and I plenty of time at each stop to take in the breathtaking views!! Unfortunately due to my poor planning, we had to take the tour later in the day, but they were soooo good, it didnt even matter! Still an excellent tour and HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!
