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

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.

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.

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.

We had the best time with our guide, Yannis. (Hope I spelled that right) He shared so much information with us and we fell in love with the island. He took us to little out of the way spots for great photo ops as well. GREAT guide and highly recommend this tour.

I don’t know where to start. This whole tour was truly amazing and our tour guide George made it a great and memorable experience. He took soo many pictures of us. We had at least 1000 new photos. He was super friendly, fun, funny and full of energy. You go to soo many unique and fantastic spots. The white buildings with blue roofs that everybody sees is my most favorite and beautiful place I ever saw. Black sand beach and red sand beach was a once in a lifetime type of opportunity. He took us to a fantastic restaurant. We were drove around in a Benz and we were picked up from our hotel and dropped back off to our hotel. I definitely recommend this. Would rate this more than 5 stars.

Billy our tour guide was amazing from beginning to end. I was 15 mins late due to cable cars and was worried it was going to cut into our time but he was very patient and nice and made sure to show us all the sites throughout the beautiful island. Stopped for lunch and black beach and was just breathtaking. He was fun and outgoing and took many memorable pics of my husband and I. Highly recommend Billy!! Also very knowledgeable.

We had a great day with George. He took us to all the great spots for photos and took such good photos of my husband and me. During our drive, he talked about the history of the island and gave us lots of other stories that were entertaining and hilarious lol. It did feel like we were hanging out with a friend after just an hour driving around.

If you want one of those super informational and formal tours like they usually do on those big bus tours, this private tour is not for you. It’s more of a casual vibe, go with the flow, see the sights, take a bunch of pics type of tour. If you get George, consider yourself lucky!

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 ❤️
