Oia Village

This charming traditional settlement is perched gracefully on the northern tip of the island, high above on the cliff-top. Stroll down marble-lined pathways, amidst a picturesque blend of whitewashed houses, traditional windmills, blue-domed churches, and the remnants of ancient castles, all set against the mesmerizing backdrop of the Aegean Sea.  Enjoy free time for a walk through a delightful maze of quaint shops, cozy restaurants, and inviting cafes, all nestled among whitewashed houses carved into the cliffside. 

Three Blue Domed Churches in Oia

Be sure not to miss out on capturing an exquisite image of the Three Blue Domes, the notable landmark churches in the heart of the picturesque Oia town. The unique architecture and vibrant hue of the domes set against the azure Aegean Sea create a postcard-perfect panorama.

Firostefani (Pass By)

Ascend to the apex of the village and let your gaze stretch across the crimson cliffs, a great spot for spectacular panoramic view of the Villages of Oia, Firostefani & Imerovigli.

Three Bells of Fira

Seize the opportunity for a brief, yet unforgettable photo session at the blue dome church, famously known as the Three Bells of Fira. Here, you can marvel at the whitewashed houses stretching along the reddish cliffs, overlooking the deep blue expanse of the horizon. With the volcanic landscape and the undulating Aegean Sea forming a breathtaking backdrop, this moment will surely be etched in your memory forever.

Pyrgos (Pass By)

Catch a glimpse of Pyrgos from the outskirts, with its numerous blue dome churches and white houses, embracing the highest hill, where this village is built.

Profetes Elias Mountaintop Monastery

Traverse through the enchanting Pyrgos Village en route to the summit of the Monastery of Profitis Elias. The winding road up leads you to an awe-inspiring panorama of the island sprawled beneath you – a sight to behold!

Santo Wines

Optional visit to a winery. Let our knowledgeable guide take you to a unique winery, perhaps one with a stunning view or a traditional one that's a bit off the beaten path, the choice is up to you!

Red Beach

Take a brief photo break at the spectacular volcanic Red Beach with its striking red rock cliffs and serene blue-green water.  Get fascinated by the distinct hue of the sand, a product of the surrounding red lava cliffs descending into the rich blue sea.

Akrotiri (Pass By)

Experience a captivating trip from the northern charm of Oia to the peaceful south of Akrotiri! Akrotiri Peninsula, home to unique attractions like the Akrotiri Excavations, Akrotiri Venetian Castle, Akrotiri Lighthouse, and Red Beach.  Explore the archaeological site, take a peek inside the "Aegean's Pompeii", or snap a photo overlooking the striking Red Beach, surrounded by steep red rock cliffs and shimmering blue-green waters.

Akrotiri Archaeological Site (Pass By)

Prepare to be astonished by one of Greece's most remarkable prehistoric locations – a Bronze Age wonder! This extraordinary settlement found itself shrouded under a layer of volcanic ash following an immense eruption in the 17th century BC. The advantageous outcome? This natural calamity impeccably preserved the entire city, thereby bestowing upon it the moniker "Prehistoric Pompei". Many theorists suggest that this site served as the actual inspiration for Plato's illustrious narrative of Atlantis. Brace yourself for a leap into the past, as scholars have been meticulously unearthing its mysteries since 1967!

Perissa Black Sand Beach

Continue your adventure to the eastern part of the south, where you'll discover the stunningly long black-sand beach of Perissa, another of Santorini's famous volcanic beaches. Grab a bite to eat, kick back, or take a dip in its crystal clear waters.
