Highlights
  • Megalochori - Traditional Village - Walk through the traditional village of Megalochori and experience its authenticity.

  • Akrotiri Archaeological Site - Travel back nearly 4,000 years to ancient Akrotiri on Santorini. Explore the well-preserved ruins of this former Minoan settlement, destroyed by a volcanic eruption around 1450 BC. Examine the excavated houses and buildings, see remnants of kitchens and drainage systems, and learn about the vivid frescoes that once adorned the walls. Discover the history of the inhabitants, how their town was buried under ash, and how Minoan society and culture were far ahead of mainland European civilization at the time. Walk along the main street past ruins of shops and houses, some once decorated with colorful frescoes. Learn about life here nearly 4,000 years ago. A tour guide is available for an additional charge; please inquire about the price.

  • Red Beach - The driver-escort will guide you to one of the top 3 most famous volcanic beaches: Red Beach in Akrotiri. No ticket is required to visit the beach or swim in the crystal-clear water. You can snorkel, sunbathe, and dine at one of the nearby restaurants.

  • Perissa Black Sand Beach - The driver-escort will guide you to one of the top 3 most famous volcanic beaches: Black Beach in Perissa. No ticket is required to visit the beach or swim in the crystal-clear water. Enjoy a cool drink or cocktail at one of the beautiful beach bars, dine at one of the nearby restaurants, or partake in water sports such as jet skiing, stand-up paddleboarding, or kayaking.

  • Lighthouse - Make a short stop at the Venetian Lighthouse in Akrotiri (Cape) village, located on the opposite side of the famous castle of Oia (Ia) city. The ride to the lighthouse offers a unique perspective of the Caldera site. A breathtaking sunset is an option for our tour. Although the lighthouse is not open to the public, the building itself is stunning.

  • Pyrgos - Pyrgos is one of the most traditional villages in Santorini. Located at the center of the island, it offers a panoramic view as it is the highest village on the island. The small streets can only be visited on foot, preserving its unspoiled charm. Enjoy small traditional coffee shops with delicious desserts.

  • Monastery of Profitis Ilias - Visit the highest point of the island and explore the open area of the monastery where you can pray, light a candle, and take amazing pictures.

  • Oia - Wander through the small streets, admire the white houses on the cliff, the blue domes on the Caldera site, and the cave houses with infinity pools. Reach the castle for the famous sunset view, but be aware it can get very crowded during the high season. Some of the most amazing restaurants on the island are located on the Caldera site, offering globally renowned views!

Comfortable sightseeing tour - Yannis/Johnnie was an amazing guide. We were available to start earlier than our booking time, which he accommodated. He also accommodated a last minute extension of our tour. He made sure to keep our group cool and hydrated in the car. We saw so much of Santorini during our very short cruise excursion. He took so so so many photos of us, and he was so incredibly friendly. Although he is a little more soft spoken, he is so knowledgeable about the island and its history. Hope to see you again, Yannis!

We did a private tour.... - We did a private tour. Our guide Yannis picked us up as mentioned. Given that we had 5 hours and Santorini is very crowded and has traffic, Yannis focused on the most important spots to give us a feel for the beautiful and picturesque island. He ensured we spent enough time at each location and showed us all the choicest locations for pictures. He took some great pictures of our family and shared it with us. He also dropped us back closer to the cable car spot so that we had enough time to shop and get a feel for Fira before we went back on our cruise ship. We had a great time in Santorini even though we had only 7 to 8 hours. We recommend the tour. 👍🏼

Fantastic Santorini tour! - My family and I had an incredible time exploring Santorini, all thanks to our fantastic driver, Eric! We were able to tailor our itinerary to visit the must-see attractions and capture stunning photos of the beautiful scenery. Eric was so accommodating and patient throughout our journey. We wrapped up our day at Giorgaros, a charming family-owned seafood restaurant, where we savored some delicious dishes, including octopus. Our experience was truly enjoyable, and we loved discovering Santorini this way. We highly recommend this company and Eric as your driver for your upcoming trip to Santorini!

Discover Santorini with ease and flexibility in complete comfort - We traveled in Greece for two weeks and decided to end our trip with a couple of days on Santorini. We’re so happy to have found the Santorinian Collection for a private tour. It was the perfect way to spend the morning and early afternoon discovering this magical island. Erik, our friendly and flexible guide/driver made sure we were comfortable, well-hydrated, and communicated everything so clearly. The highlights were the bustling streets of Oia, the ancient alleyways of Megalochori, a seaside lunch of the freshest fish in Akrotiri, and the soaring red cliffs of Ammoudi. And the best part of the tour is that you can build your own itinerary! We couldn’t recommend Santorinian Collection more. Thank you, Erik, Thanos, and team.

Personalized Santorini tour and our family had an unforgettable experience. - Yannis made our private tour in Santorini truly unforgettable. He customized the experience to fit our preferences, turning it into a magical journey. One of the highlights was his recommendation of a charming local restaurant by the beach, far from the usual tourist spots, where we enjoyed a delightful meal. Thanks to Yannis, our family had an extraordinary time, and the memories we made will stay with us forever.

Awesome experience! - We had such a great time on this tour!! Our guide Giannis, was excellent! He took us to places we didn’t even know about but loved seeing (as well as everywhere we asked for). He was super knowledgeable about Santorini, willing to share stories about his time on the island and took us to incredible places. Hands down, so happy we did this!!! If you book, can’t recommend Giannis enough!
