This tour was amazing! Our first stop was the Prehistoric Town of Akrotiri in which we were given a guide who's specialty was this location. He gave us a great deal of information and was super passionate about this area. Then we stopped in one of the little villages, which was a unique experience and I'm glad that we did not stay there for an extended period of time. We loved the time that we got to spend in Perissa! The guide gave us some recommendations and told us a time to return to the bus. It was nice having the time to ourselves. The highest point of the island was beautiful and the wine tasting was great! Again, I felt like we spent an appropriate amount of time in both places. Similar to Perissa, we were dropped off in Oia for the sunset and told to meet back at the bus at a certain time. It was really nice having time to explore on our own while also being given some factual information from the guide.
