Stop 2 — Oia Village Walk the marble-paved alleys of Santorini's most iconic village. Your guide leads you to the best vantage points over the Aegean — away from the crowds, past the world-famous blue-domed churches.
Stop 3a—(Optional visit): Admire the most breathtaking view from the island's highest peak. From this vantage point, you will enjoy a striking view of the entire island. The Mountain's name is Profitis Ilias (Prophet Elias), coming from the Monastery with the same name on its peak, built in 1711. Whilst in this stunning and peaceful environment, you may as well taste wine and local products made by the monks, who reside at the monastery.
Stop 3b—(Optional visit): This settlement is made of hundreds of small white painted houses with exquisite architecture, tiny alleys, tower bells, beautiful blue domed chapels and underground cave houses. In this picturesque and non-touristic environment, you’ll truly be basking in the local culture and lifestyle.
Stop 4a—(Optional visit): Built by a French company in 1892, it’s considered one of the most beautiful of the Cycladic Islands and a unique point to watch the sunset. Standing on the edge of a high cliff right above the sea, its position is ideal for taking panoramic pictures and admiring Santorini's famous Caldera from a different point of view.
Stop 4b —(Optional visit): The most unique natural beach of the island, where red is the dominant color. Take amazing pictures of the enormous volcanic rocks and the steep hills that create a captivating wild scenary. This wonderful volcanic landscape will capture your complete attention.
Stop 4c—(Optional visit): Explore Akrotiri Archaeological Site and go back into time to marvel the secrets and wonders of this lost ancient city. This 4000 year old Bronze age settlement prospered for centuries before being eradicated by a great volcanic eruption. Eventually it was buried in Volcanic Ash, which ironically helped to protect the artifacts from being destroyed. Stroll through the ancient walls and take a glimpse of a Minoan town with the 3-story buildings, well preserved frescoes, an elaborate drainage system and much more.
Stop 5a—(Optional visit): Follow a small road towards the hilltop above the village of Emporio. Along the rim see the 8 traditional windmills and an isolated white washed chappel on the edge of the cliff. A stunning location with an open view, suitable for panoramic pictures and a wonderful sunset.
Stop 5b— The so called "crown of Fira" an old fashioned village situated on the rim of the cliffs with magnificent views. Stop at the scenic balcony and gaze the wild beauty of the caldera itself along with the three bells & the famous blue domed church, seen on every postcard of Santorini.
