- Profitis Ilias - The tour begins with the visit of the highest spot of the island (567 meters) located between Pyrgos and Kamari. The Mountain’s name, Profitis Ilias (Prophet Elijah), is coming from the Monastery with the same name on its peak. From this vantage point, you will enjoy a striking view of the entire island, from the patchwork agricultural plains to the hilltop village of Oia. The Monastery was built in 1712 and it always had a very important role for the life of Santorini during the centuries especially as an active intellectual and patriotic influence.

It's worth getting out of the way that everybody does. Thank you Kiriakos! - We wanted to see some of the less explored Santorini on our own and hired a van for 3 hours. Kiriakos, our driver and guide, was extremely friendly and helpful. He suggested we stop by Megalochori, which was not in our plan, and it turned out to be a find. The vehicle, impeccable. There was even fresh water and tissues.
Absolutely recommended.

Touring Santorini in style with Dimitri - We arranged for a private half day tour through Santorini Golden Key Tours on a recommendation by the concierge at our previous hotel in Naxos. Dimitri picked us up at our hotel in a very comfortable Mercedes sedan and our adventure began. He was most informative, had a great sense of humour and accommodated all our requests. Seeing Santorini through his eyes made today the highlight of our vacation here in Greece. Thank you Dimitri, you’re the best. Karen & Adriana from Vancouver, Canada

Amazing Experience with our guide Kiriakos - Our private tour of Santorini was absolutely unforgettable! From start to finish, everything was seamless, comfortable, and personalized to our pace and interests.
We began in Imerovigli, where the views over the caldera were breathtaking—peaceful, less crowded, and truly magical. Then on to Firostefani, with its charming alleys and postcard-perfect blue-domed churches. The visit to Profit Hlias, the island’s highest point, was incredible—panoramic views that stretched across all of Santorini.
The traditional village of Megalochori was a highlight, with its quiet streets, hidden courtyards, and authentic atmosphere. At Akrotiri, we learn’t about Santorini’s rich history. We then made our way to the island’s unique beaches—the dramatic Red Beach with its striking cliffs, and the Black Beach, where we enjoyed a relaxing walk along the volcanic sand.
Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about Santorini, sharing stories and insights that made each stop even more special. This tour was the perfect way to experience the beauty, history, and culture of the island in just one day.
Highly recommend this personal tour—it was a five-star experience from beginning to end!

All Encompassing Santorini Tour! - Kiriakos was the best tour guide! My mom and I had a wonderful time on the half tour of the island of Santorini. He was very knowledgeable, a great driver, and knew of all the best picture spots. The car was very clean and he was so friendly. Thank you Kiriakos for a great last day in Santorini! We covered so much and saw everything! Would recommend him to anyone looking to see the beautiful island.

Total Satisfaction - The guide was punctual, the car impeccable, took us through all the attractions of the island from end to end, in addition to the explanation and flexibility with the language, gave us tips, helped us to move to the domes jumping in line, sheltered us in the shadows while he brought the car, was an excellent option to know Santorini comfortably and exclusively. Thank you dear Kiriakos.

Awesome tour in Santorini - It’s our first time visiting Santorini. We had about 2-3 hours before the booked Airbnb check-in time. So we decided to spend a short trip around the island. Kiriakos is our tour guide who gave us not only an amazing trip experience but also went beyond. He quickly planned a few suggestions including to stop by a winery that kicks in the vibe of our vacation. Thanks for such a great tour.

Awesome 1/2 day Santorini tour - At the last minute we decided to do the 1/2 day Santorini Road Trip- our guide was Kiriakos. He was AMAZING! Started the tour by giving us recommended sights and then asking us what we wanted to see. He was professional, knowledgeable, and gracious. Took us to a medieval village that we otherwise would not have found! We had teenagers and grandparents on the trip and there was something for everyone.
Kiriakos showed us that there is much more to Santorini then just the blue domes!
Highly recommend this awesome excursion!
