Highlights
  • Oia - We begin our tour by visiting Oia northwest of Santorini – a true jewel of the island. This village of the famous Caldera unravels all the majestic scenery of the island with its charming atmosphere, traditional local architecture and outstanding views.

  • Imerovigli - Continue with a stop at a beautiful hidden spot in Imerovigli where you will have the chance to admire the view and churches with the characteristic Cycladic architecture and be amazed by the pleasing atmosphere.

  • Firostefani - You make a “photostop” at Firostefani, where the famous Blue Domed Church is located - the iconic church that has adorned the cover of so many guidebooks of the island, is there for us to admire.

  • Pyrgos Kallistis - Have a glimpse at the mediaval village of Pyrgos (“tower” in greek language), which is located at the foot of the mountain of Prophet Ilias. Pyrgos is famous for its well preserved Venetian Castle, the old christian orthodox churces and the traditional houses.

  • Prophet Elias - You visit Profitis Ilias Monastery, a must-see attraction for any traveler, built in 1711, on the summit of Mount Profitis Ilias (Prophet Elijah) - about 600 meters above sea level - the highest point of Santorini. From this point, there are no words to describe the spectacular view of the island, the caldera and the neighboring islands.

  • Venetsanos Winery - Afterwards, you have the option to visit a local winery. Venetsanos winery gives you the opportunity to taste the local wine varieties the island is famous for while enjoying the stunning views of the Aegean Sea.

The tour guides are the best! - I am a travel agent and I booked iGoHellas for a large group of 17 for a private cruise excursion. The cruise disembarkation process was a fiasco I was completely stressed out until we made it to Thanasis and our driver John. Thanasis made things so much better "you're on vacation let me worry". He was the best! Ask for him and John. They made the best of the time we had and were so informative. We loved the music on the ride back! I will be using them for my clients!

Good trip. Good food. And good company. - We had a very knowledgeable and professional tour guy. We really enjoyed the 4 hours tour. We had visited all the places that the cruise excursion recommended but we only paid half of the price 😃

Beautiful Tour of Santorini - We had a wonderful tour of beautiful Santorini! Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly, he gave us some great information/history of the islands. He also took some incredible pictures of our group! The island itself has very picturesque villages and contrasting blue domes (like in the iconic photos you see of Santorini). A Must-Do if you are visiting the Greek Islands!

Beautiful Country - Bad Guide - Our ship was 4 hours late disembarking due to strong winds. I kept our driver up to date; she was waiting for us when we got off the cable car. She took us to a great restaurant for lunch. Our tour went downhill after lunch. She was on her phone during the entire tour. Didn’t give us any history. She was always way ahead of us. We were very disappointed with our guide. What we did see of Santorini was beautiful.
