WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Red Beach
The red beach in Akrotiri is undoubtedly worth a visit, given that it is a rare sight, probably unique in the whole world, where red is the dominant color. It is surrounded by steep red hills that create a captivating, wild landscape. If you stand on the top, you will see huge volcanic rocks located in the sea, small pebbles and sand of various colors, mainly red, all over the beach and attractive dark blue waters.
2. Sunset in Oia
Oia is the most touristic, crowded, and beautiful village in Santorini, with a traditional character. Built on the rocks of the Caldera, when it is under the colors of the sunset, it becomes even more stunning and idyllic. There are charming whitewashed houses, churches with blue domes, and wonderful buildings with harmonious colors that create a fascinating landscape.
3. Akrotiri Archaeological Site
Akrotiri village is home to two historical treasures that are the main attractions of the village. One of them is the archaeological site of Akrotiri, a very important prehistoric city of the Aegean sea that is completely worth a visit. You can walk through it and see frescoes, artifacts, furniture, modern drainage systems, and even multi-story buildings from the bronze age.
4. Santorini Tours
On this private tour, you'll be picked up from JTR airport, port or your hotel and escorted to the most attractions in Santorini island by our local guides and drivers. We will try to feel you like a local for a few hours.
5. Imerovigli
Imerovigli is the perfect choice for a secluded, romantic holiday filled with tranquility. It forms an impressive landscape of whitewashed houses, flowers, and cobblestone alleys. You can wander along peaceful, paved paths away from the hustle and bustle. It promises priceless, relaxing moments and a view that you can't resist. Here you can relax in traditional taverns, restaurants, and cafes with beautiful terraces. Take unforgettable photos while admiring the famous Caldera of Santorini from a different point of view.
6. Megalochori - Traditional Village
Megalochori is a picturesque, lively village with friendly, lively inhabitants. The central square is the heart of the village, where locals gather in traditional cafes to relax and have fun, creating a warm atmosphere. It is definitely worth spending an evening here to become part of this mood and try local dishes in the natural shade of the trees. You can also find traditional taverns, cafes, and shops in other parts of the village.
7. Perissa Black Sand Beach
Perissa beach is a fully organized cosmopolitan beach with an abundance of comfortable sunbeds, umbrellas, and other amenities such as lifeguards, showers, and a Playground. It is worth noting that it received the "Blue flag" award, as it is very clean and tidy. At the end of the beach, there is a recommended diving spot If you are brave enough to dive. You can choose from a wide range of water sports, from Windsurfing and parasailing to jet skis, canoes, and banana boats that will shock you.
8. Venetsanos Winery
Optional stop at Venetsanos winery or Estate Argyros. Choose packages from three or five Santorini wines with local appetizers.
9. Monastery of Profitis Ilias
The monastery of the prophet Elijah is built at about 565 meters above sea level, which makes it the highest point of the entire island. Thus, it becomes clear that the view from there is actually unparalleled. You can enjoy exclusive views of the entire island and its surroundings and take amazing photos. Especially at sunset, you will find yourself in a state of delight.
10.
Blue domes of churches and vineyards surround Pyrgos. Here and there, you will find small galleries and shops hidden in nooks and crannies as you make your way through successive, ascending, and descending alleys. In the lower part of the village, there are several tourist shops, minimarkets, hospitable restaurants, and taverns with delicious food and cafes, most of which are located around the main Circular square.

We had the ABSOLUTE BEST experience when booking with Santorini tours. Our daughter was having a surprise proposal at a venue in Santorini. We needed to coordinate with our driver of the tour and the proposal planner. Alex, the owner of the tour company, went ABOVE AND BEYOND helping to coordinate everything. To the point that he even drove our spacious and luxurious van. Our tour guide Mary was absolutely wonderful. We were brought to special spots that she knew were less crowded and had amazing picturesque views. She went out of her way to ensure that we captured the best pictures and also experienced the authentic and local villages which was magical. I cannot recommend enough, you will not regret this once in a lifetime experience! Thank you Alex and Mary for making this experience all that more memorable ❤️

We had a small group of women and Mary and Demotri were our tour guides and driver. They were AWESOME. Mary is kind, funny, patient and very knowledgeable. She showed us the best of Santorini but also gave us plenty of time to go at our own pace. I throughly enjoyed the experience and believe Mary made it so special.

I actually forgot my phone in the van and she made sure to connect with our group leader to arrange a time to drop it off to me. I am forever grateful to Mary and Demitri 🙏

Our tour of Santorini was on Mar 24, 24

Our guide Mary was great!, even though our tour time was condensed due to Princess Cruise arrival delay she was able to show us what we wanted to see.

The part you need to be aware of is with the transportation portion. Within 10 mins of being dropped off at the designated drop off point I realized that I had left my GoPro on the back seat of the van, I called the company back and advised them and asked if they could return. They advised they would contact the driver and call me back. They returned the call within 5 mins and said that the driver advised he could not find the GoPro in the van. I even had the driver return so that I could check between the seats, but no camera.

Sorry, but I find it hard to believe that the camera would not still be there considering we were the only party in the van. Make sure to double check that you have all your items when leaving the van, as it may become a "tip" for the driver.

Excellent tour. Thanks to Maria, our guide, and Arturo, the driver, we learned about the benefits of Santorini. Its nature, beauty, and human ingenuity make it a place to dream.
Maria and Arturo are a perfect combination of culture, intelligence and humility. My respects to the Greeks and my call to the world to visit this place.
