Greetings from Santorini ! My name is Aris and will be my pleasure to help you discover the most beautifull island of Greece. Come and be my guest to this unique island . I am an experienced guide giving private tours for several years on Santorini . It was always my passion meeting people from all over the world and sharing my knowledge for my country's history and civilization with them. In addition to the famous highlights that you may already be aware of, I want to show you the hidden gems of this island and make you feel "local" during your stay. Although I graduated from Athens university of economics and business I finally came here to do what I liked since I was younger. I am a professional tour driver with certified license by the Greek ministry of Tourism and drive a 2018 Mercedes Benz vehicle. You can always ask me anything about my tours below , even if you want to change the itinerary I offer flexible tours . Promise you to be a memorable trip ! Certificate Of Proficiency in English University Of Michigan 2008 Professional tour driver with certified license by the Greek ministry of Tourism I am not licensed to guide inside the excavation site of Akrotiri.

Overview of your Santorini tour
Is this your first time in Santorini and you don't know how to organize your day to see the highlights of the island in a couple of hours? Let me take care of everything, relax and enjoy your day! I will pick you up at the place of your choice and drive you to popular places with magnificent views that you see in pictures and traditional small towns. Oia and Firostefani offer some stunning sights from atop the cliffs of the caldera all the way into the sea. We will then visit one of my favorite spots, the highest point that offers a 360-degree view of the island. After all, you can have a taste of the local wine and products at one of the best wineries here. The incredible views made me love living here and I am sure you will do the same after this tour! If you are arriving on a cruise ship I will wait for you at the cable car exit in Fira holding a sign with your name on it. It's a private flexible tour so don't hesitate to ask me if you want

Amazing tour. Aris is great. Get a full overview of the island. Highly recommend
Annette J.United States
Thanks to Aris, we were able to experience the best highlights in just a few hours. H Throughout the tour, he shared fascinating stories about Santorini's history, culture, and traditions, making every stop even more meaningful. One of the highlights was learning about the local holiday customs and celebrations, which gave us a deeper appreciation for island life. Best of all, Aris knew exactly how to navigate the crowds and got us to the famous blue domes for amazing photos—without spending hours waiting in line. This was truly the perfect way to see Santorini, and we couldn't have asked for a better guide!

Aris is a fabulous guide. He had great communication prior to our tour and arrived on time at the agreed upon location. He is very knowledgeable about his beautiful country and was very attentive to my group of 8's needs. I highly recommend him if you are looking for a private guide. 5 stars all the way!!!

Your Santorini tour itinerary
Oia : The prettiest and most popular town where you can see the blue houses and churches "hanging" on the caldera. After taking your postcard there we can stroll through the town and explore the best shopping area. Firostefani : A quick stop at this small cute town to take pictures of another famous blue dome and admire the infinite blue of the Aegean sea. Prophet Elias monastery : Doesn't take a lot to drive to the highest peak of the island where the greek monastery is located. Visit part of the monastery founded in 1711 and take memorable pictures from the top. Wine tasting: Visit one of the best wineries and taste different varieties of volcanic wines and local snacks.
