Itinerary
Oia
60 min
Our usual first stop is the picturesque village of Oia, a place of unmatched beauty and tranquility. Built on the slope of the Caldera, it is truly the quintessence of what Santorini has to offer: glorious skies meeting endless blue seas, traditional Cycladic houses along idyllic footpaths and an entirely immersive atmosphere – a generously rewarding experience for the visitor.
Firostefani Central Square
30 min
Another stop on this tour is Firostefani, the ‘crown of Fira’. Taking its name from its elevated position, this settlement is blessed with truly breathtaking views of the island. This location is also home to the Blue Domed Church, a prominent icon of the island of Santorini.
Megalochori - Traditional Village
40 min
The authentic old settlement of Megalochori, the ‘big village’, awaits visitors with its warm and inviting atmosphere. Dating back to the 17th century, it is one of the most picturesque villages of the island featuring historical mansions with inner courtyards, traditional architecture and pirate hideaways.
Perissa Black Sand Beach
60 min
Black Beach, or Perissa, is actually the end of the long black sand beach of Perivolos and, it is the busiest and most famous beach in Santorini. Here you take 1 hour free time to eat or swim.

Our guide George met us...
Our guide George met us at the top of the cable car exit as promised. There were only two ships in port that day so we had no wait and were up top by 915 am. George knows Santorini well and took us to all the highlights and recomended a great place on the beach for lunch. Before we went back to the ship he took us to a winery with a spectacular view of the mountains and water below where we enjoyed a glass of wine before going back to the ship. This tour is great would recomend to for anyone who has never been to Santorini before and wants to see allot in a matter of five hours or so.

Santorini With wheelchair
Sarah made us feel at ease and accommodated to the special needs of my partner who had mobility issues. They stowed his wheelchair in the van. They problem solved terrain that would make it easy for him to navigate We appreciate it so much.
Plus she directed us to “correct “ stores to shop for souvenirs. Spiros expertly navigated the narrow winding streets. I will recommend this duo again.
