Oia's Main Street
This village is located at the northern part of the island, famous for the traditional cave houses built on the cliffs, the Venetian castle and the breathtaking sunset. We will stroll through the village to the famous view point of the blue domed churches and give you the opportunity to take memorable pictures.
Megalochori - Traditional Village
A quiet and picturesque village on the southern part of the island, which is the center of the wine growing area. Stroll through the narrow alleys, take pictures of the old traditional houses and churches, visit a traditional cave house and drink a coffee in the small main square before heading to your next destination.

Cookies, music and the best guide in Santorini
We had an absolutely wonderful time exploring Santorini on our private drive tour with Santorini premium tours and our drver-guide Konstantinos/ Kostas, who was truly the best guide we could have asked for! Konstantinos was incredibly knowledgeable and shared so much interesting information about the island — its history, culture, traditions, villages, landscapes, and all the little details that we would have completely missed exploring on our own. He didn’t just show us Santorini; he helped us understand and appreciate it. (He also takes the best photos and knows great instagramable🤪 spots😁😁). What made the experience even more special was his personality. He was funny, friendly, relaxed, and genuinely enjoyable to spend time with. The tour never felt like a simple sightseeing trip — it felt like spending the day with someone who really loves Santorini and enjoys sharing it with others. We laughed a lot, listened to the best music in the car and had such a great time together! He also took us to beautiful places and viewpoints, and everything was perfectly organized and comfortable. His knowledge combined with his sense of humor made the whole experience memorable. We highly recommend booking a tour with Konstantinos. He is an exceptional guide and truly made our day unforgettable. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you, Konstantinos, for such a fantastic day, for showing patience with some of our inpatient friends and for showing us the best of Santorini!

Awesome island tour
We did a private island tour with Konstantinos as our guide and had a fantastic experience! Konstantinos knew all the best places to take photos and helped my daughter tremendously with all of her Instagram-worthy shots. He was also very knowledgeable about the history of the island and very friendly and funny.

The Best Tour!
This was one of the best tours we took during our whole trip through Greece! Our driver and guide, Constantino was incredible and made our experience much more fun! He knew the best places for photos without waiting in long lines, make sure we had plenty of time at each stop, and had so much knowledge about not only Santorini, but American music as well! He truly made our tour so special and we loved getting to see so much of Santorini in the course of 5 hours. Absolutely a must do!

Amazing Tour!
We did a three hour private tour with Constantino who was very friendly and nice. He knew all the best photo spots, great amount of history, great driving, and perfect for kids and adults. My twelve year old rated it ten out of ten. The experience was truly amazing and we would totally do it again. I highly recommend this if your going to Santorini.
