Detailed itinerary

We start our tour from the capital of the island, Fira. It is the island's cultural, entertainment, and commercial heart and one of the most visited places in Santorini. It is built on the edge of a cliff falling into the sea, and its slope is covered with snow-white residential buildings, churches, restaurants, shops, etc.

We head to the most famous place on the island, Oia. It’s considered the most picturesque village of Santorini and holds the position of the most visited spot for sunset viewing, as it provides an excellent view of the well-known sunset, probably the most famous in the world. Oia is on the northwest coast of Santorini and its beauty is unprecedented…. a synthesis of white-blue houses and blue-dome churches, “hanging” on the caldera, composing a colorful canvas that is difficult to put into words. Time for photos and time for scrolling in the small alleys is at the heart of shopping, including famous local brands, handmade items, and souvenir shops.

Next we will visit the village Pyrgos , which used to be the island's old capital. The medieval castle, several churches, traditional houses, and picturesque alleys are at the village's center!

Stop 4

Our following stop is Red Beach. Its name is a tell-tale sign of what the visitors will encounter when approaching it. And yet, this beach is actually red: red, impressive rocks that form steep cliffs, red sand, and a sea of deep blue, reflecting also the bright red of the landscape. A truly alien landscape that scientists have only perhaps encountered on … Mars, the “Red Planet” – without the beautiful sea!

Amazing black beach! Perivolos Beach is the most beautiful and most organized beach in Santorini. It is famous for its black, volcanic sand and sparkling, crystal-clear water.

Be amazed by the stunning view from a caldera winery and taste the most representative wines, accompanied by local traditional delicacies. The sommelier will explain why Santorini's vineyards are so unique and why the flavors of Santorini's wines are so special! Discover an experience you will never forget!
