Highlights

Run by local guides and operators who live on the island — not a call center booking you onto someone else's coach. Real knowledge, real flexibility, and people who know every viewpoint worth stopping for. Instead of queuing for the cable car, you cross by water to Amoudi — the little fishing port beneath Oia that most visitors never see — and start the day in Oia itself. And with multiple start times through the day, there's no waiting around at the port after your ship docks. You get straight into it.

Itinerary

  1. The tour begins at this tiny fishing port at the foot of Oia, where fishing boats rest beneath towering red cliffs.

    10 min

  2. Santorini's most famous village: whitewashed houses, blue domes, and narrow marble lanes tracing the rim of the caldera.

    45 min

  3. The iconic blue-domed church and its triple bell tower, framing one of the most photographed caldera views on the island.

    15 min

  4. The quietest of the cliff villages, Imerovigli sits directly above Skaros Rock — the crumbling promontory that was Santorini's original fortified capital.

    25 min

  5. A beautifully preserved medieval village of quiet alleys and a Venetian castle, crowned by 360° views across the whole island.

    30 min

  6. Reached past the ancient ruins of Akrotiri, this sheltered cove sits beneath sheer cliffs of red and black volcanic rock that drop straight into clear water.

    20 min

  7. A long stretch of jet-black volcanic sand on the island's south coast, lined with tavernas and beach bars. On the 6- and 7-hour tours, a lunch stop is included here.

    1 h

  8. A traditional wine village of vaulted mansions, old bell towers, and shaded courtyards, still lived-in and largely untouched by the crowds. Included on the 7-hour tour only.

    30 min

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.
