Itinerary

Oia
120 min

Head first to the northwest part of the island and live the best experience of Oia. Unique in every way with iconic blue domed churches and scenic pathways. One of the most photographed places in Greece, Oia is located on the top of an impressive cliff and offers a spectacular view over the volcano and the Aegean sea. The famous Venetian Castle is a major landmark of the village. Also known as the Castle of St Nikolas, the 15th-century castle was constructed during the Venetian occupation. Its location is the reason it constitutes one of the most popular places to watch the sunset in the entire Aegean Sea. Other cultural attractions and landmarks include the Maritime Museum with its small library, windmills, and art galleries founded by numerous artists who fell in love with the area.

60 min

The Pyrgos Kallistis, such as the full name of the village is meaning the most beautiful tower, is the old capital of the island and the newest castle of the Kasteli (castle cities built during the 15th and 16th century). The medieval aura remains alive in the streets and in the shadow of the steeples of the many churches of the village. A walk to the Pyrgos village will bring you closer to an important piece of the history of the island.

Prophet Elias Lookout Point
30 min

The highest spot of the island (567 meters) is located between Pyrgos and Kamari. The Mountain's name is Profitis Ilias (Prophet Elijah), coming from the Monastery with the same name on its peak. From this vantage point, you will enjoy a striking view of the entire island, from the patchwork agricultural plains to the hilltop village of Oia.

The Red Beach of Santorini is without a doubt one of the most stunning and interesting beaches on the island, as it stands out for its color!

Half Day Santorini Visit With Private Guide

She came to pick us up at our hotel, my husband and myself. It was a five hour tour but swished we had done maybe another extra hour or so because we didn’t get to go to wine tasting and another place. She took us to the beautiful beaches in Santorini. From the top most point we could see a panoramic view of the whole island. Amazing views indeed. She is such a good and experienced guide.that as a first time visitor you just feel warmed .

The Perfect Santorini Experience – Highly Recommend Dimitris! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We had the perfect 2 days in Santorini, largely thanks to Dimitris from Santorinidoit. From the very moment we arrived at the port, Dimitris was incredibly easy to identify in a sea of people holding name cards, thanks to his distinct green shirt. He kindly dropped us off at our hotel and picked us up the next day for a fantastic half-day tour. During the tour, we visited the Red Beach, Black Beach, Pyrgos, Megalochori, and Emporio villages. The pretty villages left a lasting impression on us. Truly unforgettable! We also visited Prophet Elias' monastery and church. The view from this place was breathtaking. Every stop was wonderful, and communication with Dimitris throughout was incredibly easy. To top it off, he recommended a beautiful restaurant in Fira for a sunset dinner which was spectacular. We enjoyed every second of our time, and it was worth every cent. Our only regret is that we wish we had another few days in Santorini. Thank you, Dimitris! We highly recommend him to anyone visiting.

Unforgettable Santorini.

The excursion was wonderful, we saw everything essential and more, we took impressive photographs without waiting in lines since Lena knows unique places. Lena told us the whole history and the curiosities of the Island and it was super interesting. She took us to some wonderful places. And the highlight was enjoying a wonderful typical meal on the beach, very well priced, and then we were able to enjoy an incredible afternoon at the beach with our private lounge chairs. Without a doubt, if I were to return to Santorini I would trust Lena again without any doubt.

Dimitri did it right!

Dimitri was waiting for us and excited to show us the island. He was a wonderful driver, thought of our every need, willing to accommodate our interests and had secret spots of his own. He took 45 photos of us and sent them to us on What's App before our trip was even over. He was very personable and we enjoyed our day with him. He never made us feel rushed and shared the knowledge he had of the island. Well worth our money!

The best way to get to know Santorini.

I recommend this experience!!! It is the best way to get to know the island. Thanks to Claudia the guide and Dimitri the driver, we reached dream places that without the information we would not have come to know their history, culture, and idiosyncrasy.

lucky that i find it

The ultimate Santorini experience! Absolute perfection from start to finish. Booking the "Private Half Day Guided Tour Visit to Santorini" with Santorinidoit was hands down the highlight of our trip! If you are looking for a seamless, luxurious, and deeply informative way to see the island, this is it. From the very first moment, everything was incredibly professional and well-organized. Our private guide was fantastic—not only extremely knowledgeable about the island’s rich history, culture, and geology, but also warm, welcoming, and attentive to our needs. We managed to visit the most iconic spots (including those breathtaking blue domes!) without feeling rushed at all. What we appreciated the most was the comfort of having a private vehicle and the insider knowledge of our guide, who knew exactly how to beat the crowds and where to find the best photo spots. It felt like exploring the island with a local friend who wanted nothing but the best for us. It was worth every single penny and made our time in Santorini truly unforgettable. Don't hesitate to book this tour—you will love it!

Our Of This World Memorable Experience 💖

Our experience with Dimitris was "hands down" AMAZING!! He went above and beyond to make our day "special" as we were celebrating a 60th birthday! He took us everywhere we wanted to go and even showed us more beautiful places on the island we weren't aware of 🤗😘 I would definitely recommend Dimitris for a tour as he is genuine, compassionate and truly does make your experience memorable 🥰💖

Half day tour with my friend

I did the half day tour around the island with my friend and it was fantastic! The tour guide, Demetres, was very kind and talkative and he told us everything we need to know and more about the island’s history. The conditions were great and we got to see the must-see places of Santorini and some hidden spots! I highly recommend santorini do it for your next trip here! Thank you Demetres for everything!
