Full Day Santorini Tour

We start our Full Say Santorini Tour from the Archaeological site of Akrotiri, the prehistoric treasure which is also called “the Greek Pompei”. Afterwards we visit the adjacent Red and Black beaches. The Red Beach is a wondrous natural phenomenon, a red sculpture of the nature and the site resembles the Martian scenery, while the Black Beach is a unique setting due to its black volcanic hue.
 

Then, we follow the road to the highest point on the island, the Monastery of Prophet Elias dating back to1711, enjoying exquisite panoramic views to the pristine volcanic beauty and the splendor of the Aegean sea. 
 

Our next stop is Pyrgos village, namely the medieval Santorini. Stroll around its cobbled streets and get lost in its traditional charm surrounded by a legion of whitewashed chapels, vineyards and neoclassical buildings.
  

The most gustatory part of this sightseeing tour takes place in one of the island’s most renowned wineries, where we delve into the art of Theran winemaking. There you will have the chance to savor an eclectic range of top notch wine varieties: Assyrtiko, Athiri and Malagouzia, introduced to a kaleidoscope of senses, aromas, images and memories.

 

After that we head to Fira, the capital of the island, and the famous Blue Dome at the cliff-perched village of Firostefani. Exploring the Theran countryside, we stop in Imerovigli to admire Skaros rock, one of the medieval fortresses of the island. Imerovigli is the second highest point on the island and offers a 360º view of Santorini. 
 

As the most inclusive of Santorini tours, our last stop is at the beautiful traditional small village of Oia, globally renowned for its sumptuous sunsets and romantic ambience. Walk along the cobbled alleys with the cute small shops, mingle with the locals and admire the whitewashed houses tumbling down the cliff like sugar cubes. Opt for a bar to sip a drink,  basking in the afternoon Aegean sun with iconic postcard views to the bluest blues!

Visit the No1 bookstore around the world as declared by National Geographic, "Atlantis", where you can even find a copy of a jazz music book signed by Louis Armstrong! 

Stroll around the rock-hewing buildings, the ship owners’ mansions and captains’ adobes dating back to the 19th century. 
 

Reach the Sunset Meeting Point at the Castle of Saint Nicholas, gaze at Thirassia island in front of you, the picturesque port of Ammoudi beneath you and open your eyes to a world of serenity and breathtaking beauty.
