Grab your camera and get ready - such landscapes are not to be found everywhere... While Santorini has several of the sort, Red Beach’s landscape is truly unique: Dark blue waters, with the mountain towering above them, crimson and black, combining a unique landscape. This interesting and special morphological character puts the Red Beach among the fascinating shores in the world.

An ideal destination for those who wish to combine relaxation, swimming and nice food. Time for recreation and lunch or swimming is included. Lunch is not included in the price (1½ - 2 hours).
Megalochori - Traditional Village

Walking tour in Megalochori. One of the most serene and beautiful gems of the island. Megalochori is a traditional little village that will steal your heart with its unique aesthetics. Here, everything seems to have leapt out of a painting, while respect to tradition demands everywhere absolute silence.
Sunset in Oia
Admission included90 min
It lies around 30 minutes by road from fira, and it will truly overwhelm you since it is indeed astonishing. The main road divides it into two territories: the one, towards Caldera, has impressive underground edifices, while the other is adorned with captain-houses (capetanospita). At the settlement’s side lies the castle, with its remaining parts offering unique views of the infinite blue and the famed sunset.

Amazing experience
I had an amazing experience on the semi-private tour in Santorini! The smaller group made it feel much more personal, and we got to explore some of the most beautiful spots without the crowds. The guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the tour even more enjoyable. Watching the sunset in Oia was absolutely breathtaking! Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a more intimate way to experience Santorini.
Operator response
Thank you so much for your wonderful review!
We're so happy to hear you had such an amazing experience on the semi-private tour. It's great to know the smaller group made the day feel more personal and allowed you to really take in the beauty of Santorini without the crowds.
Our guides love what they do, and it sounds like yours made the day even more special! And yes — that Oia sunset truly is something magical.
Thanks again for the kind words and recommendation. We’d love to welcome you back anytime! 🌅😊
Warm regards,

Missed excursion
We missed this excursion. We had to be tendered from the cruise ship which took a long time and the line for the cable cars were extremely long (3 hour wait). More information should be provided for this excursion so this doesn't happen to other people.

Trip, Not a Tour
Be aware that this is a half day trip and not a tour. Our driver was great getting us around the island to see things but he was not a guide explaining or educating us much. However it was much better than renting a car and dealing with traffic and logistics. The driver was friendly and spoke very good English.
Operator response
Thank you for your review and feedback. We appreciate your understanding that our service is a half-day trip rather than a guided tour. We're glad that our driver was able to efficiently navigate the island and allow you to see the sights. We apologize if the driver didn't provide as much explanation or education as expected. We will take note of your feedback to ensure clearer communication about the nature of our service. We value your feedback and hope to have the opportunity to serve you again in the future.

The tour guides were very knowledgeable about all of Santorini.

The whole tour was very relaxed with plenty of time to see the sights and have refreshments.

Amazing Experience
This was an amazing experience with so much history. There were multiple stops to show sights of significance and stories to make you envision them. The driver was great, gave us all the ‘secrets’ of Santorini.

Great alternative to driving on your own
Panos was great and really explained things well! As we couldn't spend much time at the Black beach he added another stop for us.
