Tour Plan
Embark on an enchanting day trip from Crete to Santorini, seamlessly blending convenience and exploration. Kick off your adventure with a personalized transfer from your hotel in Heraklion, ensuring a tailored experience to match your preferences. Experience smooth transfers to the ferry terminal, where you'll board a comfortable ferry heading to the iconic island of Santorini.
As you near the captivating shores of Santorini, marvel at the renowned caldera and the picturesque villages gracefully clinging to the cliffs.
Commence your exclusive Santorini exploration with a pick-up from the port, embarking on a day of discovery on the world's most iconic island. Travel in style and comfort in a deluxe vehicle accompanied by a knowledgeable local driver/guide.
Begin your journey by venturing to the northern part of the island and immersing yourself in the famed village of Oia. Distinguished by its distinct charm, featuring picturesque blue-domed churches and awe-inspiring panoramic vistas, Oia stands as one of Europe's most captured locales—an absolute essential on your itinerary.
Setting out from the northern region, navigate through steep hills and arid grasslands en route to the island's center, where you'll reach the charming traditional village of Megalochori. Take a leisurely stroll along its narrow pathways, ensuring to capture the enchanting tiered bell towers that grace your path. Immerse yourself in the local culture and lifestyle within this picturesque and less-touristy setting.
Next, travel to the most famous beach on Santorini, the Red beach, a unique natural phenomenon, and get the chance to take astonishing pictures of the volcanic scenery and the reddish cliffs.
Following a brief ten-minute drive, arrive at the southernmost tip of the island and seize the opportunity to unwind at the Perivolos black beach. Revel in the fantastic seaside ambiance, featuring crystal-clear waters and inviting restaurants. Enjoy some free time to stroll along the beach, take a refreshing swim in the Aegean Sea, and indulge in lunch at a seaside Greek restaurant (lunch cost not included).
Back on the minivan, driving between terrains full of vineyards, you will reach the island's highest peak, the monastery of Prophet Elias, at 565 meters above sea level.
At the scheduled time, you will arrive back to the port to board your ferry to Crete where your private transfer will drive you to your hotel in Heraklion.
After a 2-hour ferry ride, your private transfer will drive you to your hotel in Heraklion from the ferry port.

Exploring the stunning beaches and iconic views of Santorini was a highlight of our time in Crete, especially getting to snap a family photo by the famous blue-domed churches.

We had an exhilarating day journeying from Heraklion to Santorini, where we soaked in breathtaking views from the cliffs and explored charming local shops. The highlight for us was definitely the time spent at the beach, where the crystal-clear waters invited us to unwind after a day filled with sightseeing. One minor drawback was the schedule felt a bit rushed at times, but overall, it was a fantastic way to experience the beauty of this Aegean paradise.

Our day spent wandering through breathtaking landscapes and soaking up the sun was truly a memorable experience. While the private nature of the tour allowed us to explore at our own pace, we did feel a bit rushed at some points, especially during lunch. The views from the iconic cliffs were astonishing, and the beach time was a perfect way to unwind after a day of sightseeing.
