Itinerary
Discover Santorini and hidden path with our speaking English driver-guide, enjoy the breathtaking views, and taste local Santorini's wine and traditional greek food.
Visit the village of Oia first for some sightseeing and shopping, or go there last so you can enjoy a sunset over the Aegean Sea.
Imerovigli: Located on the Caldera Cliff, you’ll be amazed by the views. The Rock of Skaros is also here and was once the perch to spot pirates
Firostefani: Take pictures of the most photographed Firostefani’s Blue Dome Church, which is a well-known Greek site.
Enjoy the peace found in quaint Megalochori Village, after which you might enjoy a glass of wine at Gavalas winery or Art Space, located on the Caldera Cliffs edge. If you don’t drink, your tour will be customized to suit your tastes, so opt to skip these stops.
Explore the breathtaking black sand beach at Perissa and Perivolos (so named because of the unique black sand created from centuries of local volcanic activity). Free time for swimming and lunch at a traditional taverna in front of the black sand beach.
Santorini's red beach is one of the unique beaches of Greece. It's not one of the most popular beaches in Santorini for sunbathing, but it's still worth visiting.
The famous Akrotiri lighthouse stands on the South-Western tip of the coast of Santorini, near the village of Akrotiri with the same name. Akrotiri lighthouse is considered one of the most beautiful lighthouses in the Cyclades. The white detached building, located on the edge of high cliffs above the sea, creates a wonderful idyllic image away from the busy tourist resorts.
Lost Atlantis Experience offers visitors the opportunity to discover and explore the secrets of this legendary lost land, which was said to have been a Mediterranean utopia before it suddenly and mysteriously disappeared.

Xenofon was a very good driver. He showed us his special places and must see in Santorini. Because the weather wasn't great, there were places in the mountains we couldn't see. But he managed to show us places that are not on a regular tour. He is a native and knows his island very well...
Thank you so much for the great review.
Every aspect of the day was amazing-even on a cold windy day we still had the best time! We loved dining on fish by the sea.
Thanks a lot for the excellent feedback.
Awesome experience with this provider. Our group is made up of 15 people so we did a private one day sunset tour of Santorini. Our tour guide was Nick and our driver was Taki. Both were knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating. The vehicle was comfortable and aircon was strong. They provided water for our group. Nick was very flexible with the schedule. Some of the members of our group did a wine tasting while some who had children did some shopping nearby. The site where we saw the sunset was not crowded and was a perfect spot for our group. Nick took us to Mario's restaurant which is by the beach and offered fresh fish. Food was delicious. One of the best restaurants we ate in Santorini. Lots of walking but Nick took us to some sites where we could get good pictures. Highly recommended.
Excellent tour!! We had such a fantastic time. The fact that it was custom we were able to focus on what we desired, which for us was mostly photos. We were taken to imerovigli, oia, and fira and had an amazing sunset dinner right near the cable car down to the ship. Things to know:: 1. They provided us with water, which was great 2. Baby friendly (no car seats required here), it’s hard anywhere in europe with a stroller due to the cobblestone and lack of accessibility. Not Greece’s fault 3. They waited for us, and it took 2.5 hours from ship docking to when we were able to get to the top of the cable car (off the royal Caribbean odyssey of the seas). 4. Customized - and focused on exactly what we wanted to see (take photos) 5. Tour guide costas and takis our driver were excellent!
