Akrotiri

Akrotiri Peninsula on the south west coast, home to some of Santorini’s jewels, the Akrotiri Excavations, Akrotiri Venetian Castle, Akrotiri Lighthouse and Red Beach. Explore Akrotiri, the ancient settlement known as the "Pompeii of the Aegean". Feel the rhythm of history beneath your feet in this 3,500-year-old site, adorned with captivating relics and ruins. Every corner you turn, every stone you touch, is a silent testament to the island’s rich past. 

Pyrgos

Discover Pyrgos, a fortress settlement showcasing Cycladic tradition. Admire the harmonious contrast of neoclassical mansions, charming white houses, and iconic blue-domed churches.

Megalochori

This magical place is where the past and present intertwine, as traditional cave houses stand side-by-side with modern design elements in a perfect symphony of harmony. Step into a 17th-century cave house and allow its rich history and captivating aura to envelope you.

Please Note

  • Please make sure you provide pick up information details upon booking: Hotel/Airbnb Name, Flight number (if applicable), Cruise ship name (if applicable), Arrival time (if applicable), Traveler phone (while on trip).  If you're staying at an accommodation in Santorini, our meeting point will be the parking area of your hotel at the departure time. For cruise ship travelers, pick-up will be arranged at the exit of the cable car. Your guide will be there waiting for you holding a sign with your name. It's important to note that cruise ships do not dock at Santorini Port; they use small boats, known as 'tender boats', to get you ashore. These boats will bring you to the Old Port of Fira, from where you take the cable car (6€, on-site) to ascend the cliffs and reach the top.
