Itinerary

15 min

Firostefani to admire the famous Blue Dome Church, with the three bells which is a true island's emblem.

30 min

Imerovigli is very often referred to as the "balcony of the Aegean" and it definitely lives up to this name by offering a most spectacular view of the Aegean sunset. Other highlights are the many churches in typical Cycladic architecture, especially the church of Ai-Stratis and the Monastery of St. Nikolas, as well as Skaros Rock which features the remains of a medieval fortress.

80 min

Oia is the famous town, nestled in the hillsides. Oia is unique in every way with iconic blue domed churches, scenic pathways, stunning views of the caldera and the most spectacular sunset.

45 min

The Monastery of the Prophet Elijah is built at about 565 meters above sea level, which makes it the highest point of the entire island. Thus, it becomes clear that the view from there is actually unparalleled. You can enjoy exclusive views of the entire island and its surroundings and take amazing photos. Especially at sunset, you will find yourself in a state of delight.

30 min

Megalochori - Traditional Village Megalochori is a picturesque, lively village with friendly, lively inhabitants. The central square is the heart of the village, where locals gather in traditional cafes to relax and have fun, creating a warm atmosphere. It is definitely worth spending an evening here to become part of this mood and try local dishes in the natural shade of the trees. You can also find traditional taverns, cafes, and shops in other parts of the village.

30 min

Red Beach The red beach in Akrotiri is undoubtedly worth a visit, given that it is a rare sight, probably unique in the whole world, where red is the dominant color. It is surrounded by steep red hills that create a captivating, wild landscape. If you stand on the top, you will see huge volcanic rocks located in the sea, small pebbles and sand of various colors, mainly red, all over the beach and attractive dark blue waters.

30 min

Perivolos Black Sand Beach Perivolos beach is a fully organized cosmopolitan beach with an abundance of comfortable sunbeds, umbrellas, and other amenities such as lifeguards, showers, and a Playground. It is worth noting that it received the "Blue flag" award, as it is very clean and tidy.

20 min

A hole in a heart shape at the caldera side is an amazing experience. Next to it is the church of Saint Nikolaos.

Take the tour!

We really enjoyed our time. Geogios was knowledgeable, courteous and funny. You’ll go to places that you normally would not think of visiting and learn more along the way. Also, he provided information on restaurants, beach, etc. that would make your Santorini experience even better. Well worth it.

Family tour with Zeus

Our family of five had an incredible experience touring Santorini with Zeus. He took us to all the most amazing places, shared so much knowledge about the island, and made every stop feel special. His personality is fantastic — friendly, fun, and genuinely passionate about what he does. We felt completely comfortable and well taken care of the entire day. We totally recommend Zeus to anyone visiting Santorini. He truly made our trip unforgettable.

Best views, best guide!

Zeus was an amazing guide with so many great stories (and jokes!) that brought island to life. He even had a fun tip on panoramic pics! The tour took us to the best views from several points - which is what made the most of our time in Santorini!

Beautiful and informative

We had a great 4 hour tour! Astri was very knowledgeable and shared so much information with us. We learned so much about Santorini and its history. He stopped several places within the tour so we could take photos with the amazing views , shop at local souvenir stores and a quick swim at 2 beaches. It was a great experience for my entire family.

George was excellent! He modified our tour according to what we had already seen and what he thought our kids would enjoy. He also recommended a vegetarian restaurant that was very good.
