The experience wouldn’t be complete without a wine tasting in one of the numerous wineries on the island. Santorini is popular for its renowned wine varieties, which owe their quality to the rich volcanic soil, so it is an activity that shouldn’t be missed! The tour will finish with the best sunset view in the picturesque village of Oia !
The prehistoric settlement in Akrotiri is an archaeological site of great importance as it is considered a significant discovery. The fact that the site managed to stay well-preserved after the several volcanic eruptions that occurred on the island is itself extraordinary and it makes the place totally worth exploring up close.
Emporio is the largest settlement of Santorini, a peaceful traditional village that boasts edifices of Cycladic architecture, old churches, wonderful windmills, and one of the five fortified castles on the island. Walk around its narrow alleys that resemble a labyrinth and admire cave houses, tiny balconies, adorable yards, and domes. (40 minutes)
Perissa is a cosmopolitan beach resort that constitutes a part of the lengthy Black Sand Beach. Here you’ll have plenty of time to relax by the sea and enjoy this extraordinary beach.

The seaside Perissa village has an abundance of shops, cafes, beach bars, and traditional restaurants where you can taste the local cuisine. ( 1.5 hours)
Being the highest point of the island, Profitis Ilias Mountain offers sublime panoramic views in every direction. Gaze at vast vineyards and plains, the coastline of Santorini as well as the spectacular volcano in the Aegean Sea and the nearby islands. From this spot, you can take fantastic photos of the entire island and relish it from a totally different point of view. (20 minutes)
A visit to one of Santorini’s wineries is a must. It includes wine tasting in a private area. Learn about the process and history of winemaking in Santorini. Get to try three of the best local varieties and indulge in a fine wine-tasting experience in spectacular surroundings.
The gem of the island is the picturesque Oia village which is known for its incomparable sunset and admirable architecture. Pastel-colored houses, blue-domed churches, wondrous cafes, and restaurants are built on the staggering caldera cliffs and create an idyllic setting.
