After your pick up, we begin our journey from the northern part of Santorini, the unique Oia (approx 1 hour). Oia is known for it’s captivating sunsets, the picturesque blue and white houses and of course the famous blue domed churches. Here we will wander around the cobblestoned streets enjoying the view of the iconic Caldera. Oia, can surely provide us with many options to get to know the place better such as art galleries, traditional restaurants and coffee shops that are cliff hanging over the beautiful deep blue sea. Also, Oia is a must for unlimited shopping at local stores of all kinds and not to mention the non stop photo shooting at the most iconic landscape.

    Our next stop is the idyllic Imerovigli (approx 20 minutes), the place where we will enjoy a peaceful walk through its narrow streets, admiring the dazzling view of the Caldera. At Imerovigli is where we will also find the Unesco protected Mount ”Skaros” which is the most important corner of the island due to its construction, as it is completely formed by lava. In the past Mt Skaros used to be a lookout point for protection against pirates but nowadays it is the perfect spot to enjoy the breathtaking view of the Volcano, Thirasia island and the endless blue of the Aegean sea.

    We continue our day to the neighbouring Firostefani (approx 10 minutes), a small traditional village that hosts the most popular blue domed church known as ’’The Three Bells”, where we can have a direct view of the Volcano and Thirasia island. Firostefani is one of the most suitable spots to take unique postcard quality photos for unforgettable memories.

   Santo-Wines Winery (approx 1 hour) is our next stop which could not be missing from our itinerary. Santo Wines is one of the most popular wineries of Santorini. The Santorinian wine history is well known all over the world so wine tasting is a must. The upside here is that Santo Wines offers a large variety of local wines to taste whilst enjoying a 360° view of the Caldera.

    After our wine tasting we will visit the neighbouring village of Pyrgos Kallisti (approx 30 minutes), the former capital of the island. Pyrgos is one of the most traditional villages of Santorini, where we will be able to admire the medieval architecture. Full of fortified walls, old traditional cave houses, hidden passages, maze like cobblestoned streets and of course the Venetian castle standing proudly on top, Pyrgos will captivate you! 

     Located at the upper part of Pyrgos and at the highest point of the island is the Monastery of Prophet Elias (approx 15 minutes). The view from there is impressive, although it is not the view of the Caldera but we have the opportunity to observe the rest of the island from the upper side, giving us a complete picture of the formation of the island (Santorini has the shape of a half moon).

    Next is one of the oldest lighthouses in Greece that is located at Akrotiri close to the glorious Venetian castle. We will go back to a different era exploring the passages of the castle and enjoy the view of the famous Akrotiri lighthouse (approx 20 minutes).

  Our last stop will be Perissa and Perivolos the Black beach (approx 40 minutes). The Black beach is totally covered by jet black volcanic sand with no pebbles, unlike any other beaches of Santorini. This is where we will unwind, and have time for lunch or dinner(optional). The area offers the opportunity to taste the local food at a traditional beachfront tavern or just drink a cold beer at a beach bar enjoying the relaxing vibes.

After the end of the tour our driver will return you to your hotel, the cable car or any other place you wish.
