Itinerary
Oia: Perhaps the most popular destination of Santorini, an iconic location where the magnificent traditional architecture prevails. Gorgeous views to the sea and the caldera together with an inimitable ambiance, Oia is by far the signature spot of Santorini!
Firostefani We also visit the famous Blue Dome Church in Firostefani, the subject of so many Santorini’s postcards.
On the highest spot of the island, the Monastery of Profitis Ilias claims the most privileged location on Santorini. Panoramic views that take your breath away and an awe-inspiring sensation that few places in the world can promise!
Pyrgos: The Kasteli of Pyrgos, an entire village built like a fortress with the homes nestled close to each other, gives a look into the medieval past of Santorini. Narrow alleys, sturdy architecture, gorgeous views are just some of the things you should expect when in Pyrgos.
Black Beach: The volcanic origin of Santorini is evident at its beaches; unusual colours impressive rock formations that give the coast of Santorini its breathtaking character; let’s start with Kamari and Perissa, the amazing black sanded beach.
Megalochori: A quaint, traditional village that maintains all its authentic charm and beauty. A walk around the village is delightfully soothing, almost like a journey back in time, whereas Megalochori has quite a few interesting gastronomic and artisan proposals,

Pickup Locations & Times
You may ask to be picked up from any location on Santorini. If you are a cruise traveler: Individual cruise passengers disembark in Santorini by tender boats arriving only at the old port of Fira. To find the exit of the cable car in Fira follow these steps: • Take a tender boat from your cruise ship • Once ashore, go to the cable car • Paying a ticket of 6 Euros per person (one way) take a cable car ride up to Fira town (3 min.) • Come out of the cable car building • Behind the gate our guide or driver are waiting for you with Omega Travel sign with your name on it. Only passengers arriving to Santorini in organized groups or acquiring shore excursions on board disembark at Athinios port. These travelers get off the ship first. All the rest are considered to be individual travelers and disembark only at the old port of Fira. The donkeys are arriving to a different place in Fira, not to the cable car exit. The stairs bring you next to the cable car exit but we strongly recommend to use the cable car for your comfort.

I am 81 & reasonably fit, my husband is 83 & not so fit but we wanted to experience as much of Santorini as possible so we booked the private 6 hour tour so we were able to go at our own pace. We arrived at Santorini on our cruise ship. I was a bit worried we would be late getting ashore as passengers on the ship excursion got priority on the tender but we kept in touch with Omega Travel by Whatsapp & Nikos, our lovely guide & driver was patiently waiting at the top of the cable car when we eventually got there. My husband is interested in history & knew about the caldera & the destruction of the Minoan empire so the Akrotiri Archeological Site was a must & it didn’t disappoint. Other than that we just wanted to see as much of the island as possible & we did. Nikos took us to many view points where there were very few, if any, tourists. He was an excellent guide, very caring & considerate & as a local of course very knowledgeable about Santorini & its history. A good photographer too! For some lunch he took us to a favourite restaurant of his not far from where he lives, well away from the tourist area & in a peaceful area by the sea. We were disappointed that company rules meant he couldn’t join us. Thank you Nikos & Omega Travel. We had a wonderful day & I would have no hesitation in recommending you to my friends.
Excellent tour. We saw many beautiful areas from one side of the island to the other, both tourist filled and quiet, non-tourist aareas to experience the island life. We learned much about the island and life there thanks to our wonderful guide, Aris.
Tasos was our tour guide for this city tour and he did an amazing job. He offered us just the right amount of history and was very flexible with our stops and timing. Would highly recommend!
Our family visit to Santorini, Greece was on Wednesday, May 13, 2026 and we previously setup a 6-hour taxi tour through Santorini Best Tours by Omega Travel. We had a wonderful time exploring Santorini with the aid of our lively taxi tour guide Aris. He was friendly, professional and very knowledgeable with the island and its history. He definitely made us feel at home and we certainly appreciated and recommend him.😊 Veroniki Balaboundi is the agent that we worked with for this tour. She too was friendly and professional in answering our many questions and honoring our accommodations request. We certainly appreciated her!😊
Niko was very flexible, accommodating a change in pickup location and my sister's difficulty with steps. He was a wonderful guide, providing information about local history, architecture, culture and geology as well as colorful insights about Santorini. The van was very comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed the private tour that catered specifically to our needs and what we wanted to do.
Aris was our private tour guide and he was amazing!! He showed me and my parents all the wonderful places we wanted to go to, along with some special spots that were a pleasant surprise, all while staying ahead of the crowds and impressively maneuvering around the heavy traffic. He was very friendly, funny, and was happy to share information about the beautiful island, and we learned some more Greek words! Would 100% do the tour again with him!
Nice guide, patient, knowledgeable, a once in a lifetime experience.
We booked this tour with a friend. The three of us had an amazing time. Aris, our tour guide, was amazing. Not only did he provide an excellent tour, he took the time to answer all of questions about the island and culture. Lots of time to explore. Not rushed like other tours. Aris knows all the best photo spots. He made the trip. Highly recommend this tour. Ask for Ari’s.
Great tour, very engaging guide, who was very informative and pleasant to spend the six hours with. We got the opportunity to not only tour the island, but also visit the vineyard, and have lunch at the local’s restaurant, Mario’s.
Ponos was such a wonderful guide who made sure we had a great day! My friend and I are 76 and 68. Ponos walked extra to get the car to keep our walking time down. He was very informative and courteous about asking what we wanted. He took us to an awesome restaurant for lunch where we had great service and delicious food right on a beach. Ponos did everything we asked for and had great suggestions to fit our Interests. I highly recommend Ponos if you are looking for a great day exploring Santorini.
