Full description

Your tour starts as your local expert picks you up from your hotel or meeting place in Fira. After settling on a final list of stops, you will embark on your Greek experience in comfort and safety as you travel to Oia Village for a little souvenir shopping.

Your party will have ample opportunity to capture pictures of some of the most photogenic places in Santorini on your journey.  Take in the stark, ancient ruins dotting the hillside and capture photos of sailboats. See many old castles and churches and the whitewashed homes of Santorini residents. 

Your local expert will take you by some of the most stunning churches in Pyrgos before reaching the pinnacle of Santorini, the Profitis Ilias Monastery. Here, see the island and the sea from an awe-inspiring 360-degree view. Experience a safe and enjoyable tour that exceeds your idea of learning about Greece.  A short walk through Megalochori Village gives you time to stretch your legs and traverse the rich, culture and heritage of the island. Learn local secrets and fun treasures about Greece that only a local can provide.

Stop off for a refreshing swim at one of the black, sandy beaches of Perivolos or Perissa Beach where you will see why the area is unique. 

This is a tailored shore excursion and you can add other options to your tour, including an exploration of the Akrotiri prehistoric city that was covered by volcanic ash more than 2,000 years ago.

Thank you for a great day! We got to see so much in a short time. We were traveling on a virgin voyage cruise and had exactly one day to see all the sights we wanted to see in Santorini. We got to go to Art Space Winery, hike to the red beach, check out black beach, Prophet Elias Monastery (views of the whole island)! Our guide shared information about the Island, about the culture which was helpful. We ended our day in Oia, at our request, and we wandered around there for a bit afterwards before they helped us coordinate a ride back to Fira, where we were able to catch the tender back to our cruise. Beautiful day.

Nicolas was an exceptional tour guide. He took time to explain the history of the island and ensured we had the background we needed to fully enjoy our day. We were able to customize the day and do things we would have missed without a driver. Highly recommended!

Our car tour with Maria as our guide was a delightful surprise. We initially chose this tour to cover the main areas efficiently, and she curated an itinerary that included must-see spots and hidden gems, offering a comprehensive view of the islands' beauty and diversity. Maria, was a true standout. Her warm and welcoming personality immediately put us at ease. What truly set her apart was her extensive knowledge of the islands and the captivating history she shared with us. Her insights added depth and understanding to the places we visited that we couldn't have achieved on our own. The car provided comfort and the convenient pick-up and drop-off at our accommodation made the day stress-free. She took some amazing photos which was a bonus. There may be cheaper ways to explore the islands, however the knowledge, personal touch, comfort, and convenience made it well worth it. The tour enriched our trip leaving us with a deeper appreciation for the islands and their history.
