Santorini Day of Discovery

Embark on an extraordinary odyssey to unveil the hidden treasures of Santorini during this comprehensive day-long private tour. The journey commences in the picturesque village of Oia, where historical houses built into the volcanic bedrock and the charming blue-roofed churches await your admiration. Here, against the backdrop of the Aegean Sea, capture moments that will forever remain etched in your memory.

Moving forward, we venture to Firostefani, often referred to as the "crown of Fira," for an awe-inspiring vista of Fira and the volcano. Our visit includes the iconic Blue Domed Church, a perfect opportunity for a photograph that will undoubtedly stir envy among your friends.

The ascent to the zenith of Santorini, Mount Profitis Ilias, promises panoramic views that encompass the island's splendor. Explore the vicinity of the historical monastery perched here. Next, discover Pyrgos, a traditional village nestled at the mountain's base, providing signature panoramic views of both sides of Santorini while preserving vestiges of Venetian influence.

No sojourn to Santorini would be complete without a visit to the Akrotiri Archaeological Site - a testimony to one of the Aegean Sea's most significant prehistoric settlements. This site reveals structures and artifacts preserved by volcanic ash from previous eruptions, offering insights into the advanced civilization that once thrived here.

The journey continues with an encounter at the distinct Red Beach, a product of ongoing geological processes. From there, we proceed to the renowned Black Beach, also known as Perissa, where a refreshing swim in crystalline waters awaits. This beach, forming the tip of the extensive black-sand expanse of Perivolos, stands as an essential highlight of Santorini.

Our ultimate destination is Koutsogianopoulos Winery, where you can indulge in the flavors of Santorini's celebrated local wine varieties.
