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.

Excellent tour of Santorini. We picked the “instagram” because we have two teenagers. Our guide Fon was wonderful—full of information and friendly and took us to great spots. We feel we got a great tour of the whole island and he knew a great gyros spot for our always-hungry son. Beautiful photos and lots of fascinating stops. 10/10!

We did the Instagram Private Tour with Fon. He took us to all the iconic spots on the island and even some of his hidden gems. We were able to take our own pictures of whatever we wanted and then he knew the best angles and poses for our couple pictures. I highly recommend this tour early in the morning to beat the crowds and the heat.
