Overview of your Santorini tour

Discover and relax during your visit to the world's most unique island with a full-day 5-hour Santorini Private Tour, which includes a relaxed overview of the Greek island and leisure time on the black sand beach. Allow me to show you what I believe to be the most relaxed and pleasant alternative tour, with highlights including Perivolos beach, Megalochori, the Three Bells, and Oia, home to the iconic blue-domed churches. Take the best photos of Oia and the traditional Megalochori village before we unwind for three hours at one of the beach restaurants or bars of your choice. If you're a cruise ship passenger, I'll meet you at the top of the cable car (exit) with a sign bearing your name. By the end of our expedition, you will have experienced the best of Santorini on a flexible tour tailored to your preferences!

Thanks Argyris, for the great tour and advice throughout setting up and taking us out for a tour. Argyris accommodated us getting an earlier tender so we would spend less time lining up. He listened to what he wanted and gave us some options and was very informative. Thanks for the great tours!

We had the pleasure of hiring Argyris N as our guide and driver and he went far above and beyond our expectations. Our daughter had an unexpected injury that required a wheelchair, he immediately made every accommodation with kindness and professionalism. He even accompanied us to a pharmacy, helped us translate with the pharmacist. Beyond his incredible helpfulness, Archie is truly a Renaissance man—his knowledge of Santorini’s history, wine, and culture brought the island to life for us in a way that we will never forget. He was not just a driver, but a guide, translator, problem-solver, and storyteller all in one. If you are looking for someone who will not only show you Santorini but also take care of you like family, look no further. We cannot recommend him highly enough. Thank you again Argyris our friend!

Argyris was an incredible tour guide during our afternoon in Santorini! Our cruise line cut the shore time short (and the funicular lines were very long), but Argyris was extremely flexible and made sure we still experienced the best of the island in our limited time. He took us to Oia, where we enjoyed the breathtaking blue-domed churches and stunning panoramic views. We also spent time at Perivolos Black Beach, where he helped us find the perfect restaurant for lunch, with sunbeds included so we could spend some time at the beach—crystal clear waters and gorgeous black rock sand, one of my favorite beach experiences! He was fantastic with our kids, involving them in the tour and keeping them engaged throughout. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and we highly recommend Argyris for anyone visiting Santorini!

Argyris was an excellent guide. He was able to guide us through the city to avoid the crowds and, when possible, the heat. We learned so much about the city he loves. Would highly recommend!

‘Archie’ was the perfect guide for our trip to Santorini. He had a great vehicle, spoke perfect English and was a pleasure to be with. We especially enjoyed our wine tasting knowledgeably guided by Archie. We highly recommend his tour.

Your Santorini tour itinerary

- Three Bells: The most beautiful panoramas and the best place to start the tour and learn about what occurred to form the island. (approximately 15 m) - Oia: Unique in every way with the scenic blue-domed churches & stunning panoramic views. One of the most instagramic places in Europe! (approx:1 h 15 m) - Megalochori: Hands down my favorite town! Stroll the narrow paths & photograph the lovely bell towers along the way.
