• Fira - Begin the Santorini Uncovered tour in Fira, the vibrant capital and heart of the island. Avoiding the typical tourist spots, explore Fira’s creative side. Stroll through the town’s charming whitewashed streets and meet local artists, including painters, sculptors, and artisans, in their studios and galleries.
• The Castle of St Nicholas - Next, visit the enchanting village of Oia, a highlight of Santorini, where you’ll wander through cliffside paths and the quaint, pastel-colored old neighborhood with its captains’ and merchants’ houses, a place best explored with a local guide.

Before leaving Oia, discover the world’s smallest bookstore. Nestled in a beautiful traditional white building, it’s a place to fall in love with, even if you’re not an avid reader. It’s no surprise that The New York Times and The Guardian, among others, have praised it, while National Geographic has named it the best bookstore globally.
