Highlights
  • Oia - Begin your tour with a trip to Oia, the island’s most renowned village and one of the most photographed spots globally. Stroll through the charming narrow paths, marvel at the blue-domed chapels, and the traditional white-washed houses carved into the rock.
  • Three Bells of Fira - Proceed to Firostefani, a village adjacent to the capital, Fira, offering a breathtaking view of the volcano and the caldera. Enjoy the scenery and capture the iconic image of the Blue dome church with the volcano in the background, a scene featured in countless images of the island.
  • Akrotiri Lighthouse - Travel to the southern part of the island to visit the Akrotiri lighthouse, one of Greece’s oldest lighthouses, built in 1892. This is an ideal spot to savor the endless blue of the Aegean Sea.
  • Red Beach - Located in the southern part of the island, the Red Beach is one of the most unique beaches you’ll ever see. It’s a must-visit during your stay. Snap some photos of this distinctive beach and admire the volcanic landscape.
  • Perissa Black Sand Beach - Following the Red Beach, head to a black beach! Perissa’s black sandy beach is arguably the best on the island and a favorite among locals. It’s the perfect place for swimming and snorkeling in the crystal-clear waters of the Aegean Sea. Numerous beach bars are in the area, so you might rent sunbeds to relax or have lunch by the sea. For those seeking more excitement, water sports are also available.
  • Profitis Ilias - Next, ascend to the Prophet Elias monastery, the island’s highest point. From this vantage, you can enjoy an unparalleled view of the entire island and its surroundings, perfect for striking photographs. Relish the tranquility of the Monastery, built in 1711, admire the view, and sample local products made by the monks.
  • Pyrgos Kallistis - Stop at Pyrgos village, the old capital of Santorini. Offering panoramic views of both sides of the island, Pyrgos is likely the most beautiful traditional village on the island. The traditional houses and paths are built around the old castle, blending Cycladic and Venetian architecture. Wander through the maze-like paths and perhaps take some photos with the adorable donkeys.
  • Santo Winery - Conclude your tour with a visit to Santo winery, the island’s largest winery located on the west side. Words can’t capture the stunning view from this winery. Take beautiful photos, shop at the winery market, or enjoy a glass of wine with a world-class view.
