Itinerary
Begin your private tour of Santorini with a pickup from your hotel or the nearest accessible location, and then spend the day exploring the world's most famous island with an expert local driver/guide. First, go to the renowned Oia in the island's north. Because of its charming blue-domed churches and spectacular panoramic views, Oia is a must-see destination in Europe and one of the most photographed locations.
As you approach the traditional village of Megalochori in the island's center, drive through rocky hills and sparse grassland. While strolling the winding paths, take photos of the stunning tiered bell towers. This village is comprised of hundreds of modest white cottages with delicate architecture, beautiful blue-domed churches, and underground cave dwellings. In this picturesque and non-touristic setting, learn about local culture and lifestyle.
The most exciting part has arrived! Enjoy a wine tasting at a family-run winery that has been producing wine for three centuries.
Then, visit Santorini's most famous beach, Red Beach, a rare natural phenomenon, and photograph the reddish cliffs and volcanic surroundings.
Arrive at the southernmost end of the island after a ten-minute drive and unwind on Perivolos’ black beach, which has wonderful beachside eateries and crystal blue waves.
Finally, travel across a vineyard-covered landscape to the island's highest point, the Prophet Elias monastery, which stands 565 meters above sea level. Take in the tranquil surroundings and the breathtaking views of the entire island. After an unforgettable experience, your private tour of Santorini will conclude with a drop-off at the location where we picked you up.

We had an amazing private tour of Santorini with Arygris for our group of four. He was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about his island. His insights into Santorini’s history, culture, and local life made the experience so much more meaningful. Arygris showed us the breathtaking beauty of Oia and Fira, and by the end of the day, we had completely fallen in love with Santorini. He also recommended a wonderful seaside lunch right on the beach, which was one of the highlights of our day. If you’re looking for a guide who is professional, personable, and truly dedicated to making your visit special, we highly recommend Arygris. He helped create memories that we will cherish for a lifetime!

Perfect way to see the highlights of the island. Dimitris provided excellent commentary about the different sites and answered all of our Santorini and Greece-related questions. The wine tasting experience was the perfect end to the tour overlooking a beautiful vineyard and the ocean with local flavors and wines.

This was part of our Santorini tour with a visit and a tasting in Gavalas. We loved the whole tour in pia and the village. The wine tasting was great! The highlight of the whole trip, though, was our tour guide!!!
