Description

Discover the best of Santorini on a guided tour. Visit the ancient ruins of Akrotiri, oia ,explore a traditional village, relax on a volcanic beach, and enjoy a wine tasting.
Begin your tour with a visit to one or more of the cliff-top villages like Oia or Firostefani, overlooking the volcanic caldera and the Aegean Sea. Enjoy classic views of white-washed houses, blue-domed churches, narrow alleys, and sunsets. Take some free time to wander, shop, and take in the vista.
Next three bells firostefani
The church itself with its blue dome and three‑bell tower is a focal point. From many viewpoints you’ll see the dome in the foreground with the caldera and sea behind it — a classic Santorini “postcard” image.
• The caldera views: From the vantage point near the church you look out across the cliffs, the volcanic islets (like Nea Kameni and Thirassia) and the Aegean Sea.
Next, head to the site of Akrotiri, a Bronze-Age settlement preserved by volcanic ash. Walk on the raised walkways above ancient dwellings, frescoes, and artifacts. Learn about the eruption, the history, and how the island changed.

Then, stop in a quieter village such as Pyrgos or Megalochori, where you’ll experience more of “local” life rather than full tourist mode. Stroll through narrow lanes with fewer crowds. Possibly stop for coffee or a short walk.

Continue to a unique beach shaped by volcanic geology, such as the black sand beaches of Perissa or the red-cliff beaches. Or, enjoy a view of the old volcano island .

If you’ve chosen the option, visit a winery perched on the caldera edge to sample local wines or enjoy lunch in a nice tavern with a view. If your tour is timed for later in the day, end at a prime sunset viewpoint, often Oia, to witness the iconic Santorini sunset. The the tour is flexible. Is depending on the time what the guest have is depending on the weather but we can arrange everything once we met with the guest,
