Overview of your Santorini tour

Personalize your visit to the world's most unique island with a full day 8-hour Santorini Private Tour, which provides an overview of the Greek island in a relaxed setting, a wine tasting and lunch time by the beach. Allow me to show you what I consider to be the island's highlights such as Red & the Black Beach, the Monastery of Profitis Ilias, and Oia, home to the iconic blue-domed churches. Take the best photos of Oia & the traditional Megalochori village before we practice your palate with 4 sips of wine at a family-owned winery of a friend with 3 centuries of wine-making tradition. I feel the winery as my second home! Learn about Europe's oldest vineyards and spend the day exploring the world's most iconic island in a luxurious and comfortable minivan. 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!

What an absolutely wonderful day. Argyris was a great guide and showed us even more of the island than I expected. He was right on time and right where he said he'd be. Getting to Oia before the crowds was awesome and he helped us avoid most of the folks who were there. The stop at the winery was a highlight, so was lunch on the beach! It was a very hot day with no breeze, but Argyis allowed for that as well. I hope to see him again one day!

Wonderful day spent with Argyris. Our extension allowed us to take a wine tour that was fabulous. The experience was great and his knowledge of the local wine is superb. Enjoyed learning all about the grapes and the history.

Argyris was an wonderful tour guide. We saw the highlights and Santorini including some places away from the high traffic tourist areas. Argyris knows the area well and is a wealth of knwoledge. Thank you Argris for the amazing day - our lunch was amazing and we especially enjoyed vising the cave house and monestary.

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! (approx:1 h 15 m) - Megalochori: Hands down my favorite town! Stroll the narrow paths & photograph the lovely bell towers along the way. Enjoy the local slow-paced vibe in this picturesque non-touristic setting. (approx: 35 m) - Gavalas Winery: Wine tasting at a family-owned winery, with 3 centuries of wine-making tradition (approx: 1 h) - 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 Black Beach: My favorite black beach. Lunch break at a seaside restaurant (not included in the price) (approx: 90 m) - Mt Profitis Ilias: The island's highest peak, the Pr. Elias monastery, at 565 m. (approx: 20 m) This itinerary can be customized to your preferences. Ask for a quote and I will customize this tour for you!
