Itinerary
➤ Firostefani: After picking you up at a place of your choice, we stop at Firostefani. We stroll through the village towards the famous point of the blue-domed churches where you have the opportunity to explore this traditional village on your own. You will also see and learn about the geological formation of the island. Plus, you will get to hear about the genesis and history of Santorini.
➤ Oia: Continue through scenic countryside to the village of Oia, the most photographed location in Santorini.
➤ Red Beach: On way to the south, stop to explore the famous Red beach and its nice viewpoint. Take many beautiful pictures of this unique landscape.
➤ Black Beach: Head further to the Southeast part of Santorini and relax in Perissa-Perivolos Black Beach, with the amazing seaside restaurants and crystal clear waters. In Perivolos you will have spare time to take pictures on the volcanic black beach, swim in the Aegean sea and optionally enjoy lunch on a seaside Greek restaurant.
➤ Monastery of Profitis Ilias (highest point): Next, we take you to Profitis Ilias, which is the highest hill in Santorini. From its top - at about 1900 feet (567 m) - your sight can be lost in the panoramic view of the Aegean Sea. There, you get to visit a Greek Orthodox chapel, listen to the sounds of Byzantine music and get a taste of their hand-made products. (optional visit)
➤ Local Winery: Lastly, wind your tour down with an indulgent stop at a local winery. Santorini has produced its own wine since ancient times, and sampling its varietals is the perfect way to get a taste of the island’s history. (optional visit)
