Begin your amazing day by meeting your local guide in Imerovigli, one of the three suspended villages of your morning exploration. Appropriately, you’ll start off with a freshly brewed Greek coffee in a traditional wooden-table cafe, pairing it with a homemade local sweet made from fresh fruits straight from a family orchard, mingling with locals, and admiring superb views over the Aegean Sea.
While walking through the footpaths of Imerovigli, the highest of the caldera villages, hear stories about the Lost City of Atlantis, different conquerors through the ages, once-thriving civilizations, and local ghost villages.
Next, we’ll enter the fabulous Firostefani along the eyebrow-shaped caldera cliffs of Santorini. Grab an ice-cream on the go and stroll around whitewashed houses, blue-domed churches, and bougainvillea-filled alleys.
Afterwards, with your guide by your side, you’ll discover the photogenic Blue Dome of the Virgin Mary Orthodox Church, the most-renowned postcard location of Santorini.
Around noon it will be time to relax your muscles in a favourite spot where you’ll wake up those taste buds with seasonal tapas and a freshly-brewed local beer, exclusively produced by using volcanic stones for filtration and local Aegean raw ingredients. Say “Yamas!” and drink a cold sip while enjoying uninterrupted views of Santorini’s active volcano!
This Santorini morning tour comes to an end at scenic Fira, the island’s main town, passing by local artists’ workshops and a deli selling Greek products.
From here, you can choose to continue your own personal exploration (your guide will be more than happy to advise you on your next move) or continue with us on our unique “Santorini Sunset Picnic with Ancient Wines” tour for some mesmerizing off-the-beaten-path sunset caldera views and unique Greek wines.
