WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Firostefani
Firostefani is located north of Fira. It used to be a separate settlement but today it is considered part of the capital. Its name can be translated as " The Crown of Fira" because of its position on the highest part of Fira. Firostefani provides breathtaking views over the capital, the sea and the volcano. In this traditional village there are a few cozy restaurants, cafes, some shops and a mini market. It also offers some of the most impressive hotels of Santorini and some traditional rooms where you can combine serenity and relaxation with a vivid nightlife.
2. Oia
Oia,which is mentioned in various travel reports,is a scenic village on the north west edge of the Santorini island. It extends for almost 2km (1.2 miles) along the northern edge of the Caldera that forms the island of Santorini,at a height of between 70 and 100m (230 and 330 feet) above sea level. It is built on the steep slope of the Caldera and the houses and restaurants are built into niches carved into the Caldera on the seawood side. There are 300 steps down to the port from Oia. There are narrow passageways and a central square. The surroundings of the town have a complex of white washed , blue domed churches and charming traditional Cycladic houses. It is set in a location which provides excellent views of the sunset over the Caldera
3. Megalochori - Traditional Village
Megalochori, a peaceful traditional village of Santorini with stone cobbled streets. It is located 9 km southwest of Fira. The permanent residents of the village are about 300. It is definitely worth spending an evening here in order to admire distinct buildings such as neoclassical houses,stately homes and old cave houses with solid wooden doors and high fences, which were used as a protection from the pirates. Another landmark of Megalochori is the elaborate steeples of the impressive churches,two of which stand at the center of the village. It is very famous for its vineyards and wineries. There are also two remote beaches on the Caldera side, both named after churches in the area,Plaka and Thermi beach. They are only accessible on foot or by boat. You can find traditional taverns and cafes where you can taste local dishes under the natural shade of the trees.
4. Akrotiri Lighthouse
In the charming traditional village of Akrotiri, you will find the Lighthouse of Santorini. It was built by a French company in 1892, making it one of the oldest in Greece. It stopped operating during World War II but started again in 1945 with a reconstruction by the Greek Navy. It has a square shade tower that emerges above 10 meters from the warden's house. At present, it emits a radiant white light at intervals of 20 seconds reaching out to the sea for about 24 nautical miles. They can also enjoy spectacular views over the sea and observe a memorable,romantic and colorful sunset. For those who seek sightseeing, the ruins of the ancient Minoan settlement are the perfect option. The quite vibe of the place in contrast with the harshness of nature has a hypnotic power on you!!!
5. Red Beach
The most impressive work of art created by the volcano is obviously the Red Beach. It is the most popular among the beaches of the island. It is located in the southeastern part of the island, in the area of Akrotiri, approximately 8 km from Fira. The teacher's sand is composed of black and red pulverized volcanic rock. The nature itself continues to transform this artwork, as the salt, the sun, the rain water and the wind still mold the impressive cliffs and constantly give them new shapes. To reach the beach you have to walk a couple of minutes on a downhill path or you can access it by boat from Akrotiri port, Kamari or Perissa. The island's authorities have issued a banning Directive for attending the beach years ago, due to the frequent landslides and whoever decides to visit the beach does so of his own responsibility. Don't miss this incomparable landscape!!
6. Perissa Black Sand Beach
The Black Sand Beach is located on the southern coast of the island. There are two successive beaches, Perissa Beach and Perivolos Beach, which form one lengthy beach, the Black Beach. The surface of this beach is made of black volcanic sand and pebbles. Their grey or black colour have the name to the whole beach, which is therefore called the " Black Beach". It is known for the thumbing beach bars. The inviting and fun atmosphere in combination with the plentiful bars and restaurants make it a very lively place. There are also plenty of facilities and water sports like windsurfing, canoeing and a diving center. Ιf you wish we will stay on the black beach for an hour and thirty minutes for swimming and for your lunch at a seaside restaurant on the beach
7.
Less than five kilometers (3.1 miles) away from the village Pyrgos it is situated the mountain of Profitis Ilias, the highest point of the island. It stands 567 meters above the sea level . At its top there is the Monastery of Profitis Ilias (or Prophet Elias) and it counts among the island's oldest and most important Orthodox landmarks. It was founded in 1711 by Gabriel and Ioakeim (2 monks) and it was built in the style of a fortress. It ran a school from 1806 to 1845 where Greek language and literature were among the main subjects taught. Today,the Monastery even has its own museum with a collection of rare ecclesiastical books, Byzantine icons and sculptures. This is a tranquil and quiet place where many visitors wish to stay longer. You can visit the chapel and its impressive gardens. Flowers and trees have been planted around the Monastery and over 700 olive trees complete the picture from where you can enjoy breathing panoramic views.

What an amazing way to spend the day. Petros was our guide and we instantly felt comfortable . The amount of knowledge and personality was a perfect blend with our group. Petros was able to give us all the background information and history about each location while laughing and enjoying our family. Our group is early 60's and we would highly recommend this tour and a day with Petros!

Petros took us on a private tour of Santorini. We first went to the ancient ruins at Akrotiri. Then we went up to the old monestary. Petros waited outside while we did our own thing. We had driven past a brewery on the way there. So we took a detour on the way back to have a tasting at the brewery. We were also toying with the idea of staying longer and found accommodation that was a bit further out. Petros drive us out there to have a look. Petros was so accommodating and happy to help. That was the luxury of having a private tour. Thanks again Petros! Highly recommend!

Very well done. Our tour guy was also very professional and didn’t rush us. He was on time for pick up and took us to every place that there is no way I would have found on my own. I highly recommend to tour with this company. Can’t wait to go back and book another tour with this company and visit the beautiful island of Santorini again.

What an incredible experience. We arrived on a cruise ship and did the Santorini tour. We got to see the entire island in an air conditioned vehicle and was guided all along to see all the highlights. This was the best way to see Santorini in our opinion, there’s no way we would have made it to all the stops we were shown, had we did it on our own. Highly recommend it. After our cruise ended, we flew back to Santorini so we knew exactly what we wanted to see and we’re better able to navigate the island. Please do yourself a favour and book with this company. You will not be disappointed.
