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.

Our family of four thoroughly enjoyed our private tour with Kostas in Santorini. My husband was the only one that had been to Greece before, so Kostas made all of us feel right at home. He is very charismatic, energetic and definitely loves sharing his knowledge about his country. He shared facts on history, local agriculture, food, and surrounding cities. Our first main stop was walking around the beautiful village of Megalochori. There were so many picture opportunities of blue domes, beautiful doors, and flowers. Kostas also knows all the picture-perfect spots and he’s great at making the kids smile too. Everything was effortless and smooth as we moved through the village. We also stopped at an underground cave, which the kids really enjoyed. Next we visited a black sandy beach, a monastery at the top of a hill with a gorgeous view and then we went to Oia. Kostas timed the activities in a way to avoid the cruise ship crowds and the crowds we did encounter he would tackled with ease. We finished the day with a delicious lunch per his recommendation. We never felt rushed and there was time to stop for ice cream or souvenir breaks as wanted. Speaking of souvenirs, our kids came home with two special souvenirs from this tour. We couldn’t have asked for a better memory of Santorini with Kostas and we hope to return one day for round 2!

Kostas was AMAZING!! Unbelievably knowledgeable. Kostas was beyond helpful with accommodating our family with small children and made the tour fun and educational for them! The communication was flawless, the vehicle was clean and comfortable. Kostas will be utilized again on our next trip to the area. We highly recommend using him or any of the services he offers!

Thank you Mr Kostas for the in-depth guided tour. From the outset, Kostas gave good and clear directions where to meet and had laid out our iterenary of where our tour was going to. Kostas knew every alley to go through for the views in Santorini. Timing is important in a crowded place. Kostas had it planned in a way that our time was maximized to enjoy all the best sites and views. Absolutely enjoyable tour with Kostas as our guide.

Our tour of Santorini with Kostas was absolutely fantastic. It was a perfect way to experience the island's beauty in just a few hours! Kostas was super friendly, knowledgeable, and great with our teenagers. He made sure we saw all of the must-visit locations while sharing interesting facts about the island's history and culture. Our tour began early in the morning to beat the crowds at the iconic blue-domed churches, which were even more breathtaking in person than we could have imagined! Our guide knew the best hidden spots for incredible Instagram-worthy photos...which our kids loved! He took awe-inspiring photos without us feeling rushed. In addition to the blue domes, we also had plenty of time to browse the charming local shops, pick up unique souvenirs, and enjoy the beautiful streets and stunning views. Every stop offered another picture-perfect moment, making this one of the most memorable days of our trip. The tour was well organized, the pace was relaxed, and everything ran smoothly from start to finish. If you're visiting Santorini and want to see the highlights, capture truly amazing photos, and enjoy some shopping, this tour is an excellent choice. We highly recommend it!
