✧⁺₊✮ Full Description ✮⁺₊✧

Santorini is not only about sea views and romantic sunsets; it’s also a land of villages, stories, and beautiful contrasts. This tour brings together the island’s essentials in a relaxed, private experience, with time for photos, easy walks, and local atmosphere.

Begin in the world-famous Oia Village, where white-washed homes cling to the cliffs and the blue-domed churches sparkle in the sun. Stroll through its marble lanes, pause for scenic viewpoints, and enjoy that classic Santorini feeling at every turn.

Next, step into the quieter charm of Megalochori Village; a place where the past meets the present in the most authentic way. Walk through its traditional lanes and visit a 17th-century cave house, a unique glimpse into how Santorinians once lived, with thick volcanic walls and arched interiors.

Finish in Pyrgos, the island’s historic fortress settlement. Here you can either explore the medieval lanes and viewpoints on foot, or choose to slow the pace with an optional winery stop in the Pyrgos area, known for stunning caldera scenery. The winery can be your choice, or we can recommend the best option on the day based on timing, availability, and the style of tasting you prefer.
