My name is Dora, and I am a local host in Santorini with long-standing personal and professional ties to the island. I have spent most of my life connected to Santorini, beginning with childhood summers and continuing through my work in tourism, wineries, and private guiding. Over the years, I have seen the island evolve, which allows me to share not only its highlights, but also the stories, traditions, and everyday life that shape it beyond the postcard views. My background includes hands-on experience in Santorini’s wine industry, participation in grape harvests, and several years working with established tour agencies on the island. This combination has given me a strong understanding of local history, gastronomy, agriculture, and the practical realities of visiting Santorini, especially for guests with limited time. I personally lead my tours and focus on creating well-paced, flexible experiences that feel authentic, informative, and comfortable. I enjoy sharing the island in a calm and engaging way, combining essential landmarks with lesser-known locations, always adapting the day to my guests’ interests and schedule. Whether you are visiting Santorini for the first time or returning to explore it more deeply, my goal is to offer a thoughtful, well-organized experience that reflects the island as it truly is.
