Hello and welcome to Santorini – the most enchanting island of Greece. An island of contrasts, both wild and gentle, timeless and ever-changing. Santorini is pure magic: a place that captivates the heart, softens the soul, and leaves every visitor spellbound. My name is Anna, and I am a licensed tour guide of Greece with a degree in History and Archaeology. From a very young age, history was my greatest passion. After completing my studies in 2010, I realized that what I truly wanted was not only to research the past but to bring it to life, to share stories with people, and to connect culture with real experiences. In 2014, I became a licensed guide – and since then, guiding has been not just my profession, but my calling. With me, you won’t just see Santorini – you will experience it. Together we will wander through its hidden gems, explore the prehistoric town of Akrotiri, stroll picturesque villages, taste the island’s world-famous wines and local delicacies, and capture unforgettable moments against breathtaking views. Every tour can be tailored to your interests, ensuring a personal and memorable journey. Whether you want to dive deep into history, savor authentic flavors, or simply enjoy Santorini’s beauty, I will create an experience designed just for you. Let me share my passion, knowledge, and love for this island with you. Discover Santorini not as a visitor, but as a guest welcomed into its heart.

In this tour we are going to visit the southern part of the island first where one of the most important archaeological sites in Greece was brought to light in 1967, Akrotiri. We are going to travel back in time and learn a lot about this sophisticated civilization . The prehistoric town of Akrotiri was what made me move to Santorini after finishing my studies in Archaeology . It was one of most exciting subjects I studied . After our time travel we are heading to the northern part . One of the most beautiful villages built right on the caldera rim is waiting for us to admire and take a lot of photos . If you come with a cruise ship we will finish the tour in Fira the capital where you will have the option to return back to the ship or spend some of your time there before your ship leaves .
