Itinerary
Embark on an unforgettable journey that begins in the enchanting village of Oia—arguably the most photogenic destination in all of Greece. Stroll through its charming, narrow pathways, marvel at the iconic blue-domed chapels, and admire the traditional whitewashed homes carved into the cliffside. We’ll guide you effortlessly to the most sought-after photo spots, ensuring you capture some of the most breathtaking images of your travels.
Driving through Imerovigli, you'll catch some of the most dramatic caldera views on the island — the volcano, Skaros Rock, and the endless Aegean, all from the highest point of the ridge.
Your exploration continues to Firostefani, a picturesque village neighboring the capital, Fira. From here, enjoy a panoramic view of the volcano and the sweeping caldera. Don’t miss the opportunity to photograph the famous blue-domed church with the volcano in the background—an image that has come to symbolize the island itself.
Passing through Pyrgos, one of Santorini's oldest and most authentic villages — a hilltop maze of stone alleys, Venetian ruins, and panoramic views over the entire island.
As we journey inland, you’ll pass through the storied village of Pyrgos, once the island’s capital, before ascending to the Prophet Elias Monastery—the highest point on Santorini. From this summit, enjoy sweeping, uninterrupted views of the entire island and its surroundings, an ideal location for truly memorable photographs.
Passing through Megalochori, one of Santorini's most traditional villages — preserved neoclassical architecture, quiet cobblestone streets, and a charm untouched by mass tourism.
Nearby lies one of Santorini’s most extraordinary natural wonders—the Red Beach. This striking landscape, shaped by volcanic activity, is unlike anything you've seen before. Capture its vivid hues and otherworldly beauty on camera.
Passing by the ancient site of Akrotiri — a Minoan Bronze Age city buried under volcanic ash, often called the "Pompeii of the Aegean." One of the most significant archaeological discoveries in the world.
A stop at Perissa Black Sand Beach — one of Santorini's most iconic shores, where volcanic black sand meets crystal-clear water, framed by the dramatic cliffs of Mesa Vouno.
Your final stop is the renowned Santo Winery, the largest on the island and located on the stunning western cliffs. Here, the view defies description—immerse yourself in its beauty as you browse the winery’s market, savor a glass of local wine, and bask in a world-class setting.

We had an incredible experience on The Original Santorini Instagram Tour! Our guide, Aris, was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about Santorini. He shared fascinating information about the island’s history, culture, and hidden gems while making sure we saw the most beautiful locations. We booked this tour because we wanted family photos and memories to last a lifetime, and Aris took us to stunning spots that we never would have found on our own. He was patient, accommodating, and made the experience enjoyable for both adults and children. Most importantly, the tour helped us truly appreciate and respect the beauty of Santorini. The island completely stole our hearts, and this experience made our visit unforgettable. Thank you, Aris, for helping our family create memories we will cherish forever. Highly recommended!

We had a fabulous day with Fon, he showed us across the entire island, gems we would have never found on our own.

Top award to Evan’s, who made this tour unforgettable. He was so attentive and kind. Would run ahead of us to open doors and turn on air conditioning. He made suggestions but offered options. He shared his experiences and made the tour fun and educational. We were able to embrace the island from so many perspectives. Doubt any other tour will compare.

What a great day with Fon! He was knowledgeable, friendly, his vehicle was impeccably maintained and he really knows how to get around the crowds in Oia. My daughters thought it was their best tour in Greece…great day with Fon and Santorini Island Tours.
Dear Guest, "Best tour in Greece" from the daughters — that's a high bar to clear, and Fon clearly delivered. Knowing how to move through Oia without losing the experience to the crowds takes real local knowledge, and the vehicle standard is something we take seriously. Glad the day lived up to it. Best regards, Santorini Island Tour Team
Best tour we have done yet! We enjoyed our guide so much. Very great for teens as well for great picture spots. Would recommend 10/10! Fon was our guide and he was great!
Dear Guest, Glad the Instagram Tour delivered — and that it worked just as well for the younger crowd. Fon knows which spots are worth the visit and how to make the experience enjoyable for everyone in the group. Santorini will be here for the next trip. Best regards, Santorini Island Tour Team
This a Tour of santorini best places to take Foto not a Fotoshooting. Jerron was not only an amazing guide with his super friendly and authentic personality but also took my picture. Over all i can recommend this Tour to any one
Dear Adrian, Thank you for this — and for putting it so well. The Instagram Tour is exactly that: discovering the best spots the island has to offer, not a staged photoshoot. George's personality and genuine approach to the tour make all the difference. We're glad it came through that way. Hope to welcome you back. Best regards, Santorini Island Tour Team
We had a great experience. Our guide Fon explained and guided us very well. He was also a great photographer. He offered couple of choices and asked our preference. He patiently answered our questions. The weather was great as well
Dear Guest, Thank you for this. Letting guests choose what matters most to them and then delivering on it — that's exactly how the Instagram Tour should run. We're glad Fon made it a smooth and enjoyable experience. Hope to welcome you back to Santorini. Best regards, Santorini Island Tour Team
Excellent knowledge of places. He showed and took us to nice spots, I would recommend this if you want a nice collated tour.
Dear Anusha, Thank you for the kind words. Knowing which spots are worth your time — and putting them together in a way that flows — is exactly what the Instagram Tour is about. We're glad it delivered. Hope to see you back in Santorini. Best regards, Santorini Island Tour Team
