Visit the must-see locations of one of the most picturesque islands in the entire world on this 4-hour private Santorini tour, which offers a hassle-free overview of the Greek island & its caldera panoramas. With the help of your knowledgeable local guide, visit island landmarks like the Three Bells, Megalochori, and Oia, home to the recognizable blue-domed churches. It is the perfect option for both cruise passengers and hotel guests because hotel pickup and drop-off are both included, and there are several departure times.
This tour includes pick up & drop off from most hotels in Santorini, or the closest accessible point, as well as the top of the cable car for cruise ship visitors.
Most travelers can participate. However, this tour involves some walking—there are some places that can only be reached on foot—as well as some hills and inclines. Participants should have a moderate physical fitness level; however, we always find the best alternative solutions to accommodate each traveler’s needs.
The tour can be cancelled up to 24 hours before the activity starts. If you cancel after this time or do not show up, you will not be refunded.
Begin your private tour in Santorini with a pickup from your hotel or the closest accessible place, and then spend the day visiting the most famous island in the world with an expert local driver/guide
First, travel to the island’s center to experience the three bells of Fira at Firostefani for the most beautiful vistas. Your guide will help you take some incredible pictures before presenting you with this stunning island. While taking in the breathtaking panoramas, discover the tales and legends about Santorini’s volcanic caldera.
Then get back in the car and head to the northernmost point of the island.
It’s time to embrace the renowned settlement of Oia at that point. Oia is a must-see destination in Europe and one of the most photographed locations due to its charming blue-domed churches and breathtaking panoramic views.
Together with your local guide, spend an hour and fifteen minutes visiting the picturesque town and finding the less popular areas.
Next, drive across rocky hills and sparse grassland as you approach the ancient city of Megalochori in the island’s center. Take pictures of the stunning tiered bell towers as you stroll the winding paths. This village is made up of hundreds of modest whitish cottages with delicate architecture, lovely blue-domed churches, and underground cave dwellings. Learn about local culture and lifestyle in this picturesque and non-touristic setting.
Next, arrive at the southernmost end of the island after a ten-minute drive and unwind on Perivolos’ black beach, which has wonderful beachside restaurants and crystal blue waves. After a brief stop at the beach, it is the time to return to our initial meeting point.
Your private tour of Santorini will come to a close with a drop-off at the location where we picked you up after an amazing experience.
Argyris is the best tour guide ever!! Our adventure was fantastic! We learned a lot about the history, culture, and geography of Oia and the surrounding area. We were able to see so much because of our tour guide. He concluded our tour with delicious local cuisine and a stunning sunset view. TEN stars!!
My friend and I went to Santorini for the views, the food, and the history. Our private guide, Argyris, was fantastic!! We learned a lot about the history of the island, the people and places, and even the wine!! Argyris was patient and kind, and his English was flawless. He took us to all of the best Instagram spots, assisted us with our photos, bathroom breaks, and any other questions we had. The tour of Oia was my favorite part, as was the photo stop at the Three Bells. I highly recommend this tour and ask for Argyris!!!
On August 16, we did a three-hour private tour. Our tour leader was Argyris. We were expecting a good time, but what surprised us was his extremely deep and wide knowledge of the island and history in general, ranging from the Minoans to Daryl Hannah. Thank you for a wonderful time.
