Highlights
  • Firostefani - First stop is at Firostefani’s Blue Dome which is one of the most picturesque blue domes in Santorini. You get to enjoy the view of the volcano, the cruise ships and the village of Imerovigli.
  • Oia - Cliffside village with stunning views, white-washed buildings, and a romantic atmosphere.
  • Monastery of Profitis Ilias - Profitis Ilias (30 minutes)The highest spot of the island (567 meters) is located between Pyrgos and Kamari. The Mountain’s name is Profitis Ilias (Prophet Elijah), coming from the Monastery with the same name on its peak. From this vantage point, you will enjoy a striking view of the entire island, from the patchwork agricultural plains to the hilltop village of Oia.
  • Pyrgos - Pyrgos casteli. Pyrgos was built on the top of a hill and was until the early 1800, the capital of the island. The village is composed of traditional houses built around the Venetian Castle and the small streets follow the shape of the hill. Climbing from the square up to the castle of Pyrgos, the stone houses crowd more densely together and the labyrinth of narrow vaulted lanes becomes more tortuous. The village has many churches, around 33, but the most famous is the Monastery of Profitis Ilias, where a small collection of ethnographic material and old icons are exhibits. Pyrgos is a place that certainly worth a visit and dedicate enough time to the most fabulous panoramic view of the island.
  • Megalochori - Traditional Village - Megalochori traditional village (45 minutes) with its typical traditional Cycladic houses and neoclassic buildings. It is located between Pyrgos, Emporio and Akrotiri at a distance of less than 10 km from Fira. It is made of hundreds of small white painted houses built the one upon the other and it is characterized by its beautiful churches. It combines traditional architecture with vaulted houses and calderimia (stone-cobbled narrow pathways) and a lively community with a fairly large permanent population
  • Perissa Black Sand Beach - Perissa black beach(15minutes)Perissa is one of Santorini best beaches. Next to Emporio village a long dark sand endless beach. A feature that makes Perissa unique (besides the crystal water and the smooth sand) is the fact that is the best protected beach from the summer Aegean winds (called “Meltemia” in Greek). Perissa lies right next to ProfitisIlias Mountain, totally protected from the North. Magnificent beach for swimming.
  • Red Beach - The Red Beach in Akrotiri, Santorini, is renowned for its unique red volcanic sand and striking cliffs. It’s a popular tourist destination due to its dramatic landscape and crystal-clear waters, perfect for sunbathing and swimming. The beach’s distinctive color comes from the iron-rich volcanic rocks and minerals found in the area.

Informative, witty, a solid balance of facts and fun around the island - Executive luxury air conditioned vehicle with WIFI access. We felt safe through out the excursions. Friendly, patient, witty and charismatic tour guide who was adaptable to interacting with my family on an authentic level. Observing him interact with other locals and tourists made us feel like we are part of the broader community. Informative regarding the landmarks around the island. Offered us an opportunity to explore on ourselves in certain parts yet close enough when we needed him. He made the island vacation more memorable.
