Itinerary
Firostefani to admire the famous Blue Dome Church, with the three bells which is a true island's emblem.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
A hole in a heart shape at the caldera side is an amazing experience. Next to it is the church of Saint Nikolaos.

We booked this tour at the last minute, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our vacation. Akis was a fantastic tour guide. He took the time to thoroughly explain each area we visited, answered all of our questions, and was more than happy to take plenty of group photos for us. He was a pleasure to spend the morning with, and his enthusiasm made the experience even more enjoyable. I cannot recommend this tour highly enough!

It was easy to find our guide and driver, Zeus, who made our half-day tour truly enjoyable. Zeus took us to beautiful places and shared fascinating historical information along the way. The van was very comfortable, which was especially appreciated given how hilly Santorini can be. Zeus also took great photos of our group and was happy to answer all our questions about life on the island. Without this tour, our limited time in Santorini with our cruise ship would have been much less exciting. We’re very glad we purchased this guided tour. It allowed us to visit four distinct locations in a short amount of time while learning about the island from a knowledgeable and friendly guide. Highly recommended!
