Additional Information

This excursion provides a remarkable chance for visitors staying in Heraklion, Crete, to take a trip to Santorini and explore the island for a whole day.

Our initial stop is at Oia. Here, we will stroll through the village, behold the stunning vista of the Caldera, and snap some memorable pictures!

Next, we visit the Blue Dome in Firostefani. This historic 16th-century Greek Catholic church is widely recognized for its three bells, distinctive blue dome, and its exceptional view of the Caldera. Proceeding southward, we will take in the sights at renowned locations such as Profitis Ilias, the island’s tallest peak almost 580 meters above sea level, the striking Black Beach of Perissa, where we’ll have lunch by the ocean. Swimming is also an option for the adventurous! We will then see the well-known Red Beach, located near Akrotiri Village, formed several millennia ago due to numerous volcanic eruptions.

After a memorable day out exploring the island, our guests will be returned to the Santorini harbor to catch their boat back to the city of Heraklion in Crete.

Beautiful Day on Santorini with photo shoot - Loved the private tour with Tasos. He was awesome and did a photo shoot of us in all the famous places. He showed us the best places on Santorini in a day. Thank you for a wonderful time. The only issue was the fact that the title of this booking was Santorini Full day tour from Heraklion so we thought we would have arrangements from Heraklion to Santorini but that was not the case so we had to get to Heraklion port and then buy ferry tickets on Seajet (358 euros) in addition to the price of this booking. SO ended up being a very expensive trip to Santorini.

All of Santorini in one day - Santorini wasn’t as nice as we had hoped, it was only a few buildings with white and blue. The guide was very nice though and brought us to all the places one must see.

Great Day in Santorini - This was a fun experience! Highly recommended for travelers with limited time to island hop or just want to see the highlights of Santorini in one day. Tasos was a great guide. He provided a lot of information about the island and during each stop we made. He also was very diligent in regularly checking the ferry time to ensure we were back at the ferry on time for departure back to Heraklion.
