Rute

1. We start our tour making our way to Firostefani. Lying to the north of Fira, the village of Firostefani, ‘crown of Fira’, owes its name from its elevated position. Indeed, the breathtaking views of Fira and the volcano from the village are truly unforgettable. One of the highlights here will be the visit to the Blue Domed Church – the iconic church that has adorned the cover of so many brochures and guidebooks.

   25 min

2. Continuing to the northwest of Fira, we reach Imerovigli. At about 300 meters above sea level, Imerovigli is very often referred to as the "balcony of the Aegean" and it definitely lives up to this name by offering a most spectacular view of the Aegean sunset. Other highlights are the many churches in typical Cycladic architecture, especially the church of Ai-Stratis and the Monastery of St. Nikolaos, as well as Skaros Rock which features the remains of a medieval fortress.

   30 min

3. We are on our way now to Oia, definitely the most famous village of Santorini and one of unrivalled beauty. Certainly, there is no shortage here of attractions to intrigue the visitor - the glorious sunset, houses built in niches inside the volcanic rock, blue roofed churches, inspiring views and idyllic atmosphere will generously reward the visitor to this unique place.

4. Next comes a special destination slightly off the beaten track. Pyrgos Village exhibits all the magic of Santorini and trademark panoramic views of both sides of the island but also retains features of the Venetian rule. The traditional Cycladic houses and paths surround the old Venetian castle, offering the best of both worlds and making Pyrgos Village a place not to be missed.

   40 min

5. No tour could be complete without a visit to Profitis Ilias. Perched at the peak of Mount Profitis Ilias (Prophet Elijah), the highest point of Santorini at 600 meters above sea, is the monastery of the same name. Even those averse to taking photographs will not resist the urge to take a few shots from this amazing vantage point.

   40 min

6. Our next stop will be Megalochori (‘big village’). With its warm and welcoming atmosphere, it is one of the most picturesque and traditional villages of the island. Historical mansions, restored houses and pirate hideaways are prominent features of this authentic old settlement.

   30 min

7. Our next destination presents us with something different, the Akrotiri Archaeological Site. Here is one of the most significant prehistoric settlements of the Aegean. Akrotiri had developed into a major city before it was covered in ash by volcanic eruptions. However, the ash has preserved structures and their contents allowing the visitor to marvel at this wonder of antiquity.

   1 t

8. It may just be the right time for a swim now and Black Beach, or Perissa, is an excellent choice. Black Beach is actually the end of the long black sand beach of Perivolos and, without a doubt, it is the busiest and most famous beach in Santorini. After enjoying the crystal clear waters and impressive black sand, you should definitely try the local specialties in the many seaside restaurants.

   25 min

9. And if you think you have seen it all, consider Red Beach. This famous beach stands true to its name - this striking and impressively odd formation of red volcanic rocks overlooking the beach creates a unique sight that certainly should not be missed.

   25 min

10. However, there is a lot more to Santorini than spectacular views, blue-roofed churches, narrow paved paths and amazing beaches. So our next stop takes us to the Venetsanos Winery;gain first-hand experience of the traditional wine-making art of Santorini and feel free to discover and enjoy the exquisite local wine varieties that the island has become famous for.

About Santorini

Santorini er en halvmåne af vulkanske klipper i Det Ægæiske Hav, hvor hvidkalkede landsbyer og blå kupler ser ud over en oversvømmet caldera.

Øen er kanten af en antik vulkan, hvis udbrud efterlod en enorm caldera fyldt af havet. På dens kant klamrer Fira, hovedbyen, og klippelandsbyerne Imerovigli og Firostefani sig til skråningerne, mens Oia, ved nordspidsen, er berømt for sin solnedgangsudsigt over vindmøller og hvidkalkede huse.
