You will also see and learn about the geological formation of the island, the genesis, and history of Santorini.
- Monastery of Profitis Ilias - Head to Profitis Ilias, which is the highest hill in Santorini. From its top (567 m) enjoy the panoramic view of the Aegean Sea. There, you will get to visit a Greek Orthodox chapel, listen to the sounds of Byzantine music and get a taste of their hand-made products. (optional visit)
- Perissa Black Sand Beach - Head south to admire the Black beach. Enjoy an optional lunch at a seaside restaurant, such as fresh seafood with a Greek salad, on the beach.
- Red Beach - Afterwards, it’s on to the island’s appropriately named Red and Black Beaches. Both are named for their distinctively colored sand, and offer stunning views over the Aegean Sea.
- Santo Winery - Lastly, wind your tour down with an indulgent stop at a local winery. Santorini has produced its own wine since ancient times, and sampling its varietals is the perfect way to get a taste of the island’s history. (optional visit)

Love love love our tour in Santorini and area - Our guide, Michael, was extremely informative, knowledgeable, and flexible and accommodating with our requests. He spoke well, was interesting and provided us with interesting facts. He provided us information on choices in order to assist in our decision making. With choices provided ie which winery. We felt safe with his driving and was very courteous throughout the day. One of the best tour guides that we had on our vacation

Wonderful time - The tour was wonderful. Michael was super friendly and knowledgeable about what he showed us. Because we have a 9 years old going with us, so we very appreciate that Michael gave us so many options to choose that fit our family.
We got picked up right in front of the villa.
Michael knows so many beautiful viewpoints that is not crowded. He is also an amazing photographer.
If I have a chance to visit Santorini again, I will definitely choose Kalisti tour again.
Thanks for all the wonderful time we have yesterday! 🙂

Theo is amazing! - We toured around Santorini today and it was one of the best things we’ve ever done even though we only went to two places (Oia and the Black beach). We had Theo as our guide and were absolutely amazed at how friendly, professional and polite he was. He was amazing on the drive, pointing out interesting things such as the volcano, different products in fields and many more. He took us to an amazing beach club/restaurant at the Black beach and got us free sun beds so we could relax and have dinner. He gladly took many photos and got us into exclusive spots for photos. Would definitely recommend this tour!

Half Day Tour of Historic Santorini from our cruise ship, Celebrity Cruises - We had an amazing day with Theodore! We were able to see everything we wanted and more! Our tour guide picked us up from the top of the cable car, where our ship, Celebrity Infinity tendered to. The pick up process was easy and we were off for a full day adventure! He took us to all of the highlights of Santorini and gave us so much helpful information. We enjoyed our half day excursion and we left fully satisfied with our tour and guide!
