Description – Small-Group Santorini Highlights Tour

Enjoy morning pick up at your Santorini hotel, port, and the airport, then board a comfortable minibus to travel to the North of the island where the historic village of Oia is located.

Oia Village

Heading north, we reach the northernmost part of Santorini, where the village of Oia is.
Since ancient times it has always been the richest village of the captains and sailors of the island. Roam the cobbled marble narrow streets; marvel at the architecture of the captain’s houses; explore the picturesque corners of cosmopolitan Oia and take as many photos as possible. Your personal tour guide will allow you to spend time for photo shooting, shop, or having a snack/refreshment with the rest of the group members.

All in all, treasure the moments in Oia in your heart, as it is a world-famous place – a place you must be!

Imerovigli

This village is the most ideal place on the island for photo shooting. Your tour guide will lead you to the heart of the village explaining to you the architecture, the blue dome cathedral and the numerable hotels perched on the caldera cliffs. From a special edge of the caldera vista, you will be amazed by the colorful cliff formation, the whitewashed hotel rooms, and the blue dome chapel where many couples get married or even proposed. Admittedly, the serenity and the peacefulness of the landscape will “scar” your memory forever!

Firostefani

Another on the edge of the caldera village is there for us to explore. Its name literally means the crown of Fira. As a “crown” caldera place will definitely make us feel enchanted by the beauty of the deep blue caldera sea lagoon. The famous blue dome church that prevails in many Santorini postcards awaits us to visit it. The view is spectacular and compensates every penny of this tailor-made tour!

Prophet Ilias Mountain

It is regarded to be the core of the island as life began around this solid rock mountain. On one of the summits, there is the Prophet Ilias Greek Christian Orthodox monastery dedicated to the ascetic Old Testament figure of Prophet Elijah. The monastery was established there since the 18th century and helped the Greek Revolution by offering fleet. A part of the well-preserved monastery is visitable and the view from the highest point of the island is more than rewarding!

Megalochori
The village of Megalochori is one of the most beautiful villages of Santorini and we take our small group on a walking tour before going to the Venetsanos winery. It is a place off the beaten track where all of our visitors can have the chance to mingle with the locals, talk to them, and experience some local activities hands on.

Venetsanos Winery

It is the oldest industrial winery of the island. Mr. Venetsanos, one of the most brilliant scientists and chemists of Greece, founded his winery on the rim of the volcanic caldera taking advantage of the law of gravity. The view from the winery is almost impeccable, a place no doubts why so many couples organize their wedding ceremonies. There you can enjoy your wine tasting. Besides that, a winery local guide will provide you with a brief tour inside the historical place of the winery as well as information about the viniculture of the island

The wine tasting is 25 EUR per person and is not included in the price if this tour, as some travelers may not wish to participate

Perivolos Black Sand Beach

The long kilometer Black Sand Beach will provide you with rest and relaxation. The place there is a well-organized resort where all types of sea and sun activities take place daily during the touristic season. We leave it for the end as you can finish the tour there having a meal or an aperitif depending on your mood. For those who would like to swim, the Black Beach is the place to explore the volcanic seafloor of the island. Snorkeling or diving is the favorite habit of many locals. Go for it, if you fancy exploring the crystal clear sea waters!
