Highlights
  • Oia - Our usual first stop is the picturesque village of Oia, a place of unmatched beauty and tranquility. Built on the slope of the Caldera, it is truly the quintessence of what Santorini has to offer: glorious skies meeting endless blue seas, traditional Cycladic houses along idyllic footpaths and an entirely immersive atmosphere – a generously rewarding experience for the visitor.

  • Firostefani - Another stop on this tour is Firostefani, the ‘crown of Fira’. Taking its name from its elevated position, this settlement is blessed with truly breathtaking views of the island. This location is also home to the Blue Domed Church, a prominent icon of the island of Santorini.

  • Ιερά Μόνη Προφήτου Ηλία Θήρας - Perched on the summit of the highest mountain of the island (600 meters above sea) and dating back to 1711, it is a place of great historical interest and indeed a rewarding one in terms of stunning views beyond description.

  • Megalochori - Traditional Village - The authentic old settlement of Megalochori, the ‘big village’, awaits visitors with its warm and inviting atmosphere. Dating back to the 17th century, it is one of the most picturesque villages of the island featuring historical mansions with inner courtyards, traditional architecture and pirate hideaways.

  • Perissa Black Sand Beach - Black Beach, or Perissa, is actually the end of the long black sand beach of Perivolos and, it is the busiest and most famous beach in Santorini. After enjoying the clear waters and impressive black sand, we shall try the local specialties available at the many seaside restaurants.

  • Red Beach - Standing true to its name, the distinctive Red Beach features a remarkably imposing odd formation of red volcanic rock dramatically contrasting the magnificent blue of the sea – a truly unique sight to behold.

An excellent trip for short-stays in Santorini - Excellent way of seeing and learning about Santorini island during a short stay. The guide has so much knowledge about the island, its highlights, and its history. And if you add the wine tasting together with it, you get to experience Santorini at its fullest. The minivan is comfortable and the driver seems very experienced. Worth trying for sure!

A wonderful day! - We had a great day with Stevano. He made sure we got to Oia as early as possible before the masses of tourists. Went to the Monastery to enjoy the views and the wine, Ate lunch on the beach and enjoyed the beautiful scenery that Santorini is known for. Had 4 teenagers with us and everyone said it was one of their favorite days on the cruise. A great tour at a great price. Travelling in a small group was so much better than a big bus. Thanks Stevano!
