Highlights
  • Santorini Old Harbor - Begin your journey with a pick-up from your Cruise Ship Terminal. Discover the sights of Santorini on this shore excursion. Take photos at the Imerovigli pass and marvel at the Volcano. Opt for a pick-up from the cruise ship terminal in Old Port or the disembarkation point for the cruise tender boats. Relax in the air-conditioned bus en route to the famous Oia Village.

  • Oia - As you wander through Oia village, be enchanted by the iconic whitewashed houses that epitomize the island’s architecture. Enjoy some free time exploring the village, perhaps visiting a café or restaurant.

  • Castle of Oia - Venture inland to Oia village, home to the 15th-century castle (or Fort Londsa) from the era when the Cyclades were under Frankish rule.

  • Two Mill Oia - Stop at notable landmarks, including the renowned windmills on the northwest point. The charming Ayia Ekaterina is likely one of the oldest monuments in Oia and certainly the oldest church in the North-Northwest area of Santorini.

Amazing views of Santorini - 10/20 highly recommend booking this tour. Especially if you can request Marina. She is so beautiful inside and out. She was so wonderful to my family and found us the best picturesque spots! I would love to thank her again so much for waiting for us and allowing us to have the best time seeing the city through her eyes in the short time we had. Thank you Marina ❤️

Excursion to Santorini - Although the island itself has its charm, even if it often feels like being in a market selling various objects, the organization on site is somewhat disappointing and not well organized to manage a decidedly important influx of tourists, especially on days with the scorching sun. Unfortunately, I have not found all this charm on this island. Definitely high prices.
