Known to be "the most beautiful one", Santorini captured my sight with her beauty and my senses with her impressive history. It's not just about the captivating blue and white traits, the food or culture that usually attracts to many, but its behind those characters that illuminates the essence of this captivating place. That sums it all why I set foot in this island and never look back, and that's why I love Santorini. My name is Kostas and I will share my experiences on the island with you. As I have been living on the island since 2000, working in the tourism industry since I was 20 years old and met so many interesting people all over the world, I decided to organize private tours for short or long staying visitors. I am a very positive, enthusiastic and enjoyable person. My hospitality and my friendly approach is something that most of my customers mention. With me, there's no doubt you will meet a really authentic Greek personality. I always customize my tours to your needs and interests, focusing on the off the beaten track places, authentic and traditional destinations. My other interests besides work is traveling , fishing, hiking, farming , photo shooting. . . . . No matter which of the tours you choose, I will do my best to meet your expectations so you get the best impression of our beautiful island and make this experience one to remember . . . - I have a standard certificate in English - My travel business is licensed and verified by the Greek law I am not licensed to guide within the ancient sites on the island of Santorini.

If you are lucky enough to get the chance to book a tour with Kostas, DO IT!! Kostas is one of the most charismatic, accommodating, informative, easy going and flexible tour guides we have ever worked with. Because of people like Kostas, this is why we keep coming back to Tours by Locals. My family and friends all booked a tour with him and unfortunately, due to our cruise line and itinerary change, I had to cancel our original tour. But, I quickly contacted him and he managed to work out something different for us making sure we still got in everything he knew was important to us. The dinner arrangements, transportation, conversation, and everything in between was perfect!! We can not thank Kostas enough for giving us the time of our life and sharing his world with us.

Kostas was such a fun guide for our afternoon in Oia. He took us to Pelikanos where we had the absolute best Mousaka ever...it will be hard to be content with other versions after that. He made sure we got great photos at every iconic spot and helped us navigate the Oia "traffic" with humor and ease. We loved our time with Kostas and would definitely recommend him for tours on Santorini!! Thank you for sharing stories and sights with us Kostas!

Kostas was fantastic! He is definitely knowledgeable about Santorini—geography, history, and culture. However, his positive personality was truly the highlight. He accommodated our group of 5 exhausted women and showed us the beauty of Oia and a fabulous sunset. We booked with Kostas at the very last minute because our cruise line made a late change in itinerary. He was quick to respond to communication and his English is excellent. Highly recommend !!

We had a really fun time in Oia and saw a beautiful sunset!! Kostas arranged dinner reservations for us at a great restaurant.

Your Santorini tour itinerary

What I like most about this tour is that I will have enough time to take you around the best spots for great pics of the Blue dome churches , the cave houses , walk through the little marble streets, do some shopping as there are many little shops and boutiques around or have a drink or meal somewhere with panoramic views I will be with you all the time so you get the full experience of my beautiful town in that short time
