Itinerary
Firostefani Central Square
Admission included5 min
Firostefani offers the same breathtaking view of the Caldera as the capital but in a quieter and more relaxed atmosphere. This is what makes it an excellent option for a stay. It is only a 15-minute walk from the center of Fira, meaning you can plunge into the nightlife from the central city but still get some peace.
Oia
5 min
Lovely Oia is the perfect place to relax in Santorini, with its pastel-colored houses, windmills, and churches with domes descending the hillside. This is one of the most popular holiday destinations on the island, but if you are staying elsewhere, it is worth a visit during a day trip.
Imerovigli
5 min
Since Imerovigli is a preserved traditional settlement, the architectural style of the buildings remains unchanged. They are mainly Cycladic and primarily local Fira. Today, Imerovigli is one of the most developed tourist destinations in Santorini, with first-class hotels, restaurants, and other shops visited by tens of thousands worldwide annually.
Megalochori - Traditional Village
5 min
The sights of Megalochori are two impressive churches standing on the village's central square. The Church of the Introduction of the Blessed Virgin Mary, with a wooden iconostasis and Byzantine icons of the Russian school and the church of Agia Anargiri, celebrates July 1, the dch a big holiday in the village. The village has been mentioned in written sources since the mid-17th century. It also appears on the map of 1801. The broader area's findings indicate that it has been inhabited since the early Cycladic and Late Cycladic periods.
Akrotiri
5 min
Known as the Pompeii of Santorini, Akrotiri was once a thriving Minoan port city on the trade route between Europe and the Middle East. However, around 1600 BC, a giant volcanic eruption demolished the center of Santorini, burying it under a 200-foot layer of ash.
Perissa Black Sand Beach
5 min
Perissa is one of the island's most cosmopolitan beaches, stretching for miles. It merges with Perivolos Beach; together, it is a beach with a length of more than 7 kilometers. The water is a gentle descent and a beautiful color. The coarse black sand is pleasant to walk on and sparkles like sparkles, but it can be very hot in summer.
Pyrgos Kallistis
5 min
The village of Pyrgos in Santorini is the highest mountain settlement on the island. It is located on the slopes of Prophet Elijah Mountain and offers 360-degree views of the mainland, volcano, and sea.
Many consider Pyrgos as Santorini's hidden gem, as he managed to distance himself from the radical development of tourism and clusters of travelers.

Smooth Transfers and Excellent Service.
Top Santorini Tours gave us a great experience from beginning to end. The team was professional, friendly and very responsive. Every transfer was smooth and well organized.” They knew the island very well and gave us good suggestions based on what we wanted to see. "Having everything set up how we want it has saved us a lot of time and the stress of having to sort our own transport. The well planned coordination and the comfortable rides made touring Santorini look so easy. If you are looking for a good and reliable private transfer service, this is a great choice.

A Kind Welcome After a Late Flight 🌙
After landing late at night, Themis was there for the airport transfer and made the arrival feel much easier than expected. He was friendly, patient, and genuinely thoughtful throughout the ride. What I appreciated most was that he understood the practical side of arriving so late and was happy to make a quick detour so I could pick up a few groceries for the morning. It was a small gesture, but after a long flight it meant a lot. The ride itself was comfortable andeverything felt calm and well handled.
Operator response
Dear Clara,
Thank you so much for your 5-star review! We are very happy that you enjoyed your trip with your guide, Themis. We hope to welcome you back again for more adventures in the future!

Saved us so much stress getting from the ferry port to Oia!
Arriving at the ferry port in peak season is pure chaotic energy, so booking a private ride ahead of time was the smartest thing my partner and I did. Our driver met us right as we stepped off with a clear sign, grabbed our heavy luggage, and got us into a cold sedan within minutes while hundreds were stuck waiting in long taxi lines. Smooth driving up those steep hairpin turns, great tips on where to eat cheap in Oia, and dead accurate timing. Essential booking for couples landing or leaving by boat!

Reliable Service and Great Cars.
I have rented cars through this service four different times, and every experience has been consistently excellent. George was always helpful, professional, and easy to communicate with throughout the process. The vehicles were either brand new or maintained in nearly perfect condition, making each trip comfortable and stress-free. Everything from pickup to return was smooth and well organized. For anyone looking for dependable transportation and quality vehicles in the area, this service is definitely a great choice.
