This was the first time I handed the job over to an agency, and so did not know what to expect. It was amazing!!! We spent a few days in Santorini and Greeking.me was able to introduce things to our itinerary that we would never have thought of. We stayed to a villa that was more than I could have hoped for in Santorini, with what we are convinced was the best view on the entire island!!
We had a wonderful time with Stefanos, who has an easy charm and a wealth of knowledge about Thira. From Oia to the monastery to the lighthouse and home through the Black Beach - and of course, the winery! Our expectations were exceeded. Thank you for a wonderful time!
Kostas, our tour guide, was very informative. We were a group of 6 people in total, and he made sure that we were able to see everything that was on the itinerary even though we had gone over in time. I would highly recommend this tour. In my opinion, it is beneficial to take this tour in the beginning of your stay because you get a general overview of what there is to do and see on the island.
Must do tour in Santorini. Our guide was Clio, who was extremely knowledgeable. We visited some sites that you have to see in Santorini including a Monastesry and finished with a wine tour of an old winery. I have no hesitation recommending this tour.
What you can expect?
Travel around Santorini and relish all the beauties of the island within a day. An expert English speaking guide will always be by your side to tell you everything you need to know regarding what you see and taste.
You will have the chance to stroll around the charming town of Oia with its blue-and-white houses, picturesque alleys and breathtaking sunset views. Discover volcanic beaches, such as the black beach of Perissa, or visit a prehistoric village, still preserved in volcanic ash. You can even reach the highest hilltop of the island and visit a beautiful monastery overlooking entire Santorini and Aegean blue.
What about some local flavors to spice up your day trip? Stop by a local winery and let your eye wander upon the luscious vineyards of local vines. Taste the most distinctive wine flavors of Santorini made from vine varieties grown on the volcanic land. What better way to complete your private Santorini tour? Have the time of your life and get the best out of Santorini, all within a day!
Some of the sites you are going to visit:
The village of Oia
Here, exceptional sunsets are a daily occurance. However, there are plenty of other reasons to visit Oia as well. To name just a few, the Venetian castle of St. Nicolas, the enchanting mansions that used to belong to ship owners of the 19th and 20th century in the so-called 'Captains’ Neighbourhood' as well as the traditional rock-hewn houses in the 'Crew’s Neighbourhood' are all guaranteed to make your stay in Santorini a dream come true. You can learn more about the rich naval tradition of the island at the Maritime Museum. Don’t forget to check the windmills and the traditional knitting factory, where you can buy beautiful souvenirs.
Fira
If you are on a cruise, you will arrive at the old port and then you will head directly to the city of Fira by car, or on foot! Ample shops, luxurious restaurants, traditional taverns, museums, cultural centres and a lively nightlife are waiting for you to discover them. Remember to visit the museum of ‘Prehistoric Thera’, where you will see finding mainly from the Akrotiri excavations, as well as other fossils. Other notable places are the Archaeological Museum and a cultural centre named Megaro Gyzi; a 17th-century mansion, which houses an admission-free festival every August and a rich collection of engravings, paintings and old manuscripts.
The site of Akrotiri (optional add-on)
One of the most important settlements is Akrotiri at the southeast part of the island. The settlement used to cover a substantial amount of land with hundreds of houses, public squares, and palace complexes, reflecting a prosperous civilization with high standards of living. Unfortunately, another huge explosion sealed the fate of the inhabitants. Due to the discovery of a carbonized olive tree branch, scientists dated the eruption between 1627 to 1600 BC. The eruption was so brutal that managed to changed the morphology of the island by sinking a large part of it underwater and creating the islands of Therasia, Kameni, and Aspronisi.
