Your day starts with a stroll around Fira, Santorini’s capital, to enjoy uninterrupted views of Santorini caldera while your guide shares some stories about the island.
Continuing our tour, we’ll stop at a vantage point to admire the photogenic blue dome of the Virgin Mary Orthodox Church, the most renowned location in Santorini.
Next, we’ll head to Oia, easily the most popular village of Santorini due to its dramatic setting at the edge of a steep cliff and its charismatic beauty. Stroll around cobblestone alleyways with whitewashed houses and snap photos from viewpoints only locals know about.
We’ll then move inland to the village of Pyrgos, the former capital of Santorini, where we’ll explore its pastel-coloured houses, blue-domed churches, and vineyards. Through winding pathways, we’ll walk all the way up the ruins of a medieval castle to admire amazing vistas. Going downhill to the village, it’s time to relax your muscles in a lovely spot where you’ll snack on some local, seasonal mezedes (Greek tapas) such as tomato fritters, fava, white eggplant, cold cuts, and local cheese.
Once you’ve filled your belly, we’ll head to our next viewpoint at the edge of the island and admire Santorini’s unique Red Beach. Next, we’ll stop at one of the oldest lighthouses in Greece, the Akrotiri Lighthouse, which dates back to 1892 and, according to many, boasts the best views in all of Santorini!
Our tour wouldn’t be complete without tasting exceptional Santorini wines, famous for their unique character that comes from the island’s volcanic conditions and local cultivation techniques. Enjoy not one or two but six premium wines during a tasting session in a local winery with dazzling caldera views and a selection of local cuts and cheeses.
Before we part ways, don’t forget to ask your local guide for more hints and tips on how to get the best of your trip to amazing Santorini.
