Amazing Sunset tour - This tour was absolutely amazing! The day started with an easy hotel pickup, and from there, everything was smooth and enjoyable. Red Beach was gorgeous, and our guide shared cool facts about the volcanic cliffs. The short hike to Akrotiri’s Lighthouse offered stunning sea views, and the visit to Profitis Ilias Monastery gave us incredible island-wide views and some great local history. Ending the day in Oia was just perfect. We had time to explore, shop, and then watch the sunset—it was breathtaking! The tour was well-organized, and our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. I can’t recommend this tour enough for anyone visiting Santorini! Five stars!
