Itinerary
See the iconic blue domed churches, marbled paved floors, scenic pathways, plenty open-air cafes, restaurants, art galleries and a large shopping area. Oia is one of the most photographed places in the world, situated on top of an impressive cliff and offers spectacular views. The village has several cultural attractions such as: The maritime museum, traces of a Venetian fortress and the captains houses. You may as well see the cave houses used to be the homes of ship crews, and the neo-classical architecture, when the village was inhabited by the affluent class of ship owners. The world famous sunset in Oia is available by choosing an afternoon departure.
The so called "crown of Fira" an old fashioned village situated on the rim of the cliffs with magnificent views. Stop at the scenic balcony and gaze the wild beauty of the caldera itself along with the three bells & the famous blue domed church, seen on every postcard of Santorini.
This settlement is made of hundreds of small white painted houses with exquisite architecture, tiny alleys, tower bells, beautiful blue domed chapels and underground cave houses. In this picturesque and non-touristic environment, you’ll truly be basking in the local culture and lifestyle.
Built by a French company in 1892, it’s considered one of the most beautiful of the Cycladic Islands and a unique point to watch the sunset. Standing on the edge of a high cliff right above the sea, its position is ideal for taking panoramic pictures and admiring Santorini's famous Caldera from a different point of view.
The most unique natural beach of the island, where red is the dominant color. Take amazing pictures of the enormous volcanic rocks and the steep hills that create a captivating wild scenary. This wonderful volcanic landscape will capture your complete attention.
The longest and most famous beach in Santorini and a unique sight of the volcanic island. Lase in the black lava sand, swim in the crystal clear waters of the Aegean sea and taste traditional dishes in a seaside restaurant.
Admire the most breathtaking view from the island's highest peak. From this vantage point, you will enjoy a striking view of the entire island. The Mountain's name is Profitis Ilias (Prophet Elias), coming from the Monastery with the same name on its peak, built in 1711. Whilst in this stunning and peaceful environment, you may as well taste wine and local products made by the monks, who reside at the monastery.
The oldest village in Santorini, known as the island’s “historic monument”. Built on the top of a hill, this settlement holds a 16th century Venetian castle. A charming location to wander around, built by the locals to fortify the area into small alleys and circle shape roads. The village is surrounded by vineyards, blue domed churches, narrow cave houses with charming balconies and pebbled paths.
Explore Akrotiri Archaeological Site and go back into time to marvel the secrets and wonders of this lost ancient city. This 4000 year old Bronze age settlement prospered for centuries before being eradicated by a great volcanic eruption. Eventually it was buried in Volcanic Ash, which ironically helped to protect the artifacts from being destroyed. Stroll through the ancient walls and take a glimpse of a Minoan town with the 3-story buildings, well preserved frescoes, an elaborate drainage system and much more.
In the suburbs of Akrotiri, visit a family farm and taste homemade wine and local products, that do not contain any preservatives or chemical additives. Taste fava, sun dried tomatoes, capers, olive paste and traditional sweets. See the wine celar, the grape-stomping tank and experience the vibe of traditional Greeks.
Follow a small road towards the hilltop above the village of Emporio. Along the rim see the 8 traditional windmills and an isolated white washed chappel on the edge of the cliff. A stunning location with an open view, suitable for panoramic pictures and a wonderful sunset.
A unique natural wine museum to learn the history of wine production in Santorini dated from 1660 to 1970. The museum occupies a natural cave of 300 meters long with corridors shaped like maze. The wine tasting takes place in a specialy designed room.(20 euros per person)
This visitable brewery produces on-site exquisite artisanal beer using signature local ingredients. The visit at Ftelos Brewery starts with a guided tour performed by expert guides who take the guests all around the facilities and offer a mini seminar about how beer is brewed. The tour is a fun and educational experience! The production area is visible from the taproom. Being so close to the actual production area, which is separated by glass, the guests experience the magic of beer production happening. They can actually see the whole production unit, the control panel and the fermentation and aging tanks. They can watch the bottling, filtering or tank cleaning process at sight. Following the tour, the guests can indulge themselves in the tastes of 6 refreshing artisanal beers while learning information regarding the quality specifications and the ingredients of each beer accompanied with a luxurious snack. (20 euros per person)

We spent four hours on a guided tour with Santo Escapes, and our guide, Vasilis, made it an absolutely unforgettable experience. He was incredibly knowledgeable and clearly takes great pride in his home island of Santorini. We loved getting to see and learn about parts of the island beyond the typical tourist spots. Vasilis answered all of our questions about life on Santorini and even made a stop at a local bakery so we could enjoy some delicious Greek treats. As a bonus, he was an excellent driver on Santorini’s winding roads! Our two favorite experiences in Santorini were this tour and our catamaran cruise, which we also booked through Santo Escapes. If you’re trying to decide which company to choose, don’t hesitate—go with Santo Luxury Escape. Thank you, Vasilis and the Santo Escapes team, for a wonderful day and some fantastic memories of Santorini!
Thank you so so much for your lovely words 🙏
We had a great experience and a very nice day with Nico. Appreciate that he is local and knew all the places to go. It was a very comfortable tour and I would recommend!
Thank you so so much for your lovely words 🙏
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an absolutely perfect day in Santorini with Nikos on our private tour! He brought us to Oia before the crowds arrived, allowing us to enjoy the beautiful streets while they were still nearly empty. He even knew the perfect spot to capture the iconic blue dome photos without waiting in the long line - something we never would have known in our own. Throughout the day, Nikos shared the beauty and charm of his island, taking us to breathtaking locations and ending with a fabulous lunch. I'm so grateful we discovered Santo Luxury Escape. This tour was truly one of the highlights of our magical Mediterranean adventure. I highly recommend Nikos to anyone looking for a personalized and unforgettable Santorini experience!
Thank you so so much for your lovely words 🙏
My husband and I only had one day on Santorini so we thought a private day-long tour would be the perfect way to explore the island. We were very impressed with Vasilis and our tour. He made recommendations on where to go and when, knew where to get the best photos, had great history tidbits, and shared about his family history on the island. He was super friendly and a great guide. We even ran into Nikos, the owner, during our visit to Kamari beach and he knew who we were and introduced himself. Highly recommend this company if you are looking for a small, personalized experience on Santorini!
Thank you so so much for your lovely words 🙏
We used Santo Luxury Escape for so many things while visiting Santorini. Transfers from airport and to port, katamaran cruise and half day private tour of the island. Everything was wonderful. Nikos and his crew, especially Vasilis, were very friendly and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend them for anything you need on Santorini.
Thank you so so much for your lovely words 🙏
From booking to Nikos from Santo Luxury Escapes arriving to collect us at our hotel it was seamless and such a lovely afternoon/evening. We booked a 6 hour tour and visited so many different spots. Of course we saw the more commercial areas but he also took us to local small villages where we learnt about local people, agriculture and some history of the island which was amazing to experience . We visited a more traditional winery and museum and tasted some traditional island wines and of course I had to purchase one as it was too nice not too 😊 Nikos then took us to a beautiful restaurant on the Black sand beach for some lovely traditional Greek food and we finished our evening watching the beautiful sunset at the Akrotiri lighthouse. What an amazing experience! Thank you Nikos for a brilliant afternoon.
Thank you so so much for your lovely words 🙏
We had a great experience with Santos. They were very knowledgeable drivers and guides telling us all about the island! Also used them for airport/ferry transfers.
Thank you so much for your lovely words 🙏
We had an excellent experience with our tour guide Vasilis. He was professional, informative and had an amazing depth of knowledge about the entire area. He took us on a fantastic tour of the south of Santorini, sharing interesting history and local insights.
Thank you so so so much for your lovely words 🙏
Absolutely amazing from start to finish... Photos and memories for a lifetime
Thank you so much for your lovely words.!!!
We had the most wonderful day with Vasilis, Nikos’ cousin. Both born and bred in Santorini so they know the best places to go. He met us at the top of the cable car. All very easy. Vasilis’ knowledge of Santorini was amazing. He knew the best places to go. It felt like a real immersion into Santorini life. He accommodated our request for a swim and beach bar stop. Recommend Doros’ Bar on Pericles beach. Great food and service with sunbeds on the black sand. We had a lovely swim too. We saw all the ‘must see’s is Santorini with breathtaking views. Communication beforehand was excellent. A total 5 star experience. He was such a gentleman. Just book. You won’t regret it.
Thank you so so much for your lovely words.!!!🙏🙏🙏
