  • 5Great way to see the island

    Brilliant tour - picked up at hotel (don’t worry if it’s not listed I think they collect everywhere). Really lovely and knowledgeable guide Theo. Stopped at Oia for about an hour - lovely lanes and sights, then a traditional village and cave house, vi years and sunset. He shared lots of knowledge and really made a great day. We were on the afternoon trip and wondered about food but you can order food at the vineyard. Dropped back at hotel about 8:00

  • 5Best day trip and follow up picnic ever!!

    This was the best day tour ever. Will was very informative. We learned more about the island and saw more than we ever could have on our own. We followed the day trip with a private sunset picnic. Once again, it was a great experience all the way around. Argyros is highly recommended…!!!

  • 5Perfect for a short stay in Santorini

    This tour was a great way to see Santorini’s highlights. Hotel pickup and drop-off were also very convenient. Theo was incredibly knowledgeable, warm, funny and flexible. He was also kind enough to take photos for me, which I really appreciated as a solo traveller! Of course, the other couples in the group were also happy to take turns having their photos taken. Manos was an excellent driver, especially on the narrow cliffside roads. Our tour included Oia, Megalochori instead of Pyrgos, the highest point of the island at the monastery and a wine tasting. Visiting Oia during the tour was especially helpful since I wanted to return later for sunset. The wine tasting was also a lovely addition and a nice way to experience some of Santorini’s local wines. Argyros Travel was very responsive and accommodating, even when I changed my mind a few times about including the wine tasting. Highly recommend this tour if you’re short on time and want a great introduction to Santorini!

  • 5Do it!

    This 5 hour tour is phenomenal! We would have never seen all the places we saw on our own. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and knew where to get the best photos! He took many pictures of us and not a single one was bad! He was personable and encouraged participation from everyone, teaching us Greek words along the way. We definitely recommend this tour for anyone visiting Santorini for the first time!

  • 5Santorini Day Trip

    A wonderful day. Nikos was extremely knowledgeable, and a very congenial guide. The sites themselves offered a good blend of history and scenery, and we all enjoyed ourselves. Our driver was also an expert navigator of the tight, narrow roads.

  • 5A full island experience

    A most amazing experience, we managed to pack in so many aspects of Santorini with this 1 day tour.. The new, the old and the ancient. Our guide Nikos has a wealth of knowledge and explained everything we were seeing so well and with a massive amount of enthusiasm. I would highly recommend this tour to anybody that wants an all rounded experience of the island.. Many thanks from two Aussies on there first visit to Santorini.

About Santorini

Santorini is a crescent of volcanic cliffs in the Aegean, where whitewashed villages and blue domes look over a flooded caldera to famous sunsets.

The island is the rim of an ancient volcano whose eruption left a vast caldera filled by the sea. On its edge, Fira, the main town, and the clifftop villages of Imerovigli and Firostefani cling to the slopes, while Oia, at the northern tip, is celebrated for its sunset views over windmills and whitewashed houses.

Top-ranked sights in Santorini: Red Beach, White Beach, Santorini Volcano.
