Full description

Discover the beautiful Greek island of Santorini and explore idyllic villages with their traditional architecture.

First visit the village of Mesa Gonia, which was completely destroyed during the great earthquake of 1956 and therefore also called "Ghost Village." Stroll through the village – again inhabited – and admire the charming architecture.

Then discover the village of Pyrgos and its architecture typical of the Cyclades. Admire the Byzantine churches and a Venetian fortress. The village is one of the highest points on the island. Enjoy wonderful views of the northwest of Santorini. Finish the tour in Oia with an unforgettable sunset.

Very good guide with very good information whole the trip

Our guide, Dimitri, was well-informed, considerate and very helpful. I sincerely recommend it!!

Unforgettable and wonderful. Our tour guide Tania was very friendly and lovely. I will book this tour again. I really enjoyed it today . I had an awesome experience, I will never forget it. It’s my first time in Greece. The villages were so pretty . The most famous is Oia, where you can take so many photos with the beautiful sunset. That you don’t see every day . Thank you Tania for this amazing tour ❤️
