About this activity
Discover the world-famous white-washed houses perched on the epic cliffs, on this full day private tour to Santorini from Athens. Take a flight across the Aegean Sea to this volcanic gem, and enjoy a 6-hour private tour of the majority of the island in a deluxe, air-conditioned van, with an optional wine tasting of four sips (upon booking selection). Your knowledgeable local driver/guide will pick you up from Santorini airport and share his knowledge of Santorini's culture, wine, traditions, and curiosities.
What to expect
Begin your full-day private tour early in the morning with a pick-up from your hotel. Your driver will transport you to the Athens Airport, where you will catch your flight to Santorini.
Santorini
Santorini, Greece
Upon arrival at Santorini Airport an experienced local driver/guide will meet you, and then spend the day exploring the world's most iconic island in a deluxe and comfortable minivan.
Oia
Oia, Greece
First, drive to the island's northern part and welcome the famous village of Oia. Unique in every way with the scenic blue-domed churches and stunning panoramic views, Oia is one of the most instagramic places in Europe and a must-see.
Megalochori - Traditional Village
Megalochori, Greece
Departing from the north, driving through the eastern coast and dry desert-like land, arrive at another traditional village, Megalochori, located in the island's interior. Stroll the narrow pathways, and capture the lovely tiered bell towers found on the way. This settlement is made of hundreds of tiny whitewashed houses with elegant architecture, beautiful blue-domed churches, and underground cave dwellings. In this picturesque and non-touristic environment, you will delve into the local slow-paced culture.
Red Beach
Akrotiri, Greece
Next, head to the most famous beach on Santorini, the Red beach, a remarkable natural wonder, and get the opportunity to take amazing pictures of the volcanic scenery and the reddish cliffs.
Perivolos Beach
Perivolos, 847 03, Greece
After a twenty-minute drive, arrive at the southernmost part of the island and step onto Perivolos black sand beach, with the fantastic seaside restaurants and crystal clear waters.
Monastery of Profitis Ilias
Epar. Od. Pirgou Kallistis, 3 km from Pyrgo Thira, Moni Profitou Iliou, 847 00, Greece
Back on the minivan, driving between landscapes full of vines, reach the island's highest peak, the monastery of Prophet Elias, at 565 meters. In these tranquil surroundings, taste local products made by the monks who reside in this old monastery built in 1711 and appreciate magnificent views of the whole island.
After this fascinating experience, your day trip ends back at the Santorini Airport, where you will take your flight back to Athens, where we will drive you back to your hotel.
