Our tour with Argyris was amazing! He knew all the best spots for sightseeing and getting incredible photos. He was great at communciating and took many pictures for our group. He also easily adapted to accommodate older walkers in our group who were having difficulty with the terrain. We saw so much of the island!

Argyris was an amazing guide who was very knowledgeable about the island. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Santorini and would highly recommend Argyris! He customized our tour by including a stop at Akrotiri (considered the Greek counterpart to Pompei - it's an absolute must see on the island!) and for the wine lovers on our tour, we made a stop at a local winery for a quick sip and wine purchase...we made these stops in addition to our prearranged destinations on the island. The view from the monastery was a favorite, and the red rock beach was so unique. This island has so much to see, so many shops to visit, and Argyris is the person to take you there! If your travels take you to Santorini, please seek out Argyris - you will not be disappointed. When rating our cruise destinations, our favorite was Santorini and that has much to do with having Argyris as our guide!

Your Santorini tour itinerary

- Oia: Unique in every way with the scenic blue-domed churches & stunning panoramic views. One of the most instagramic places in Europe! A must-see. (approx:1 h 15 m) - Megalochori: Hands down my favorite town! Stroll the narrow paths & photograph the lovely bell towers along the way. Learn about the local slow-paced culture in this picturesque & non-touristic setting. (approx: 35 m) - Lighthouse: Walk on the cliffs around it or sit on the rocks by the sea all around. (approx: 20 m) OR Red Beach: Remarkable natural wonder. I love the volcanic scenery & the reddish cliffs. If I was asked what the definition of Greece is, it'd be Red beach's surrounding area ( approx: 20 m) - Perivolos Beach: My favorite black sand beach. Optional lunch (not included) (approx: 1 h 15 m) - Mt Profitis Ilias: The island's highest peak, the Prophet Elias monastery, at 565 meter. (approx: 20 m) This itinerary can be customized to your preferences. Ask for a quote and I will customize this tour for you
