Tour Details
Private First Impressions
Santorini is the largest island in a circular archipelago about 200km (120 miles) off the coast of Greece and is part of the South Aegean Volcanic Arc.
Your private tour guide will pick you up from the cable car station and take you to the edge of the caldera, where you can see the island's formation and the blue lagoon separating the main island from the smaller island of Therasia.
Learn about Santorini's fascinating history and discover how the caldera was formed. Continue to the traditional village of Oia, with its cave houses built into the landscape.
From there you will stop for a quick photo opportunity on the 600m (2000ft) mountain of Profitis Ilias and be rewarded at the top with breathtaking views of the archipelago and the Aegean Sea.
Step into a Greek Orthodox chapel and immerse yourself in the quiet solitude and then have the chance to possibly listen to the monks chant. At the traditional village of Megalochori, you can navigate its narrow, labyrinth pathways and examine the ruins of the medieval Venetian castle.
This tour is the perfect introduction to this remarkable island and a great opportunity to learn about Greek tradition and religion.
