Hello, My name is Ioannis. First and foremost, I just wanna give you a little background about myself and what I do. I was born and raised in the beautiful island of Santorini. Every part of this island reminds me of different times in my life, and specially brings me good memories of my childhood. Just like my grandfather, I used to collect grapes during harvest time, which were used to make a local wine. Also, just like my grandmother, I liked picking cherry tomatoes to prepare the famous sun-dried Santorini tomatoes. I even remember in my early years when I used to play with friends in Caldera's cliffs, with a striking view of the volcano which for me then was something very scary. The last 7 years I have offered private tours as an expert local guide. My main passion is meeting people from all over the world and sharing my knowledge of the local history and culture. I am a truly passionate professional and my biggest wish is to show you as much as I can of my island, making your tour something really memorable!

I do not have a license to give tours inside the Archaeological Site of Akrotiri.

Let me offer you an original, authentic and unforgettable experience in Santorini island. I am taking into consideration not only the island's unique scenery plus the stunning views from the famous caldera, but also your personal expectations, your appetite for learning and the amount of time you may be willing to spend on every desired location. On this private tour we will discover the astonishing destination that Santorini can be, as we admire its top attractions. Join me in this exclusive journey walking through local villages that present characteristic Cycladic architecture, such as the famous Oia and the medieval village of Pyrgos. I will take you to strategic vintage aesthetic points to take stunning pictures at, and I'll give you the opportunity to travel back in time to the prehistoric era by visiting the archaeological site of Akrotiri, and of course take you back to the present to enjoy some free time relaxing in a mediterranean beach.
Great info and very flexible!
Cousin Angelo was our guide. He was personable, knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor . Everyone in our group of four had a great day, one of the highlights of our trip.
Ioaniss and Maria were wonderful. We could not recommend this tour highly enough. They took us all over the island from north to south. Awesome much on the black beach. They even shared some wine with us at his residence. 5+ stars for sure!!!!!
We had a wonderful day with Ioannis. He knows everything about Santorini and was a delight to spend the day with.
A wonderful day!
We had a fantastic time with Ioannis's brother Niko! He was knowledgeable, personable and engaged everyone in our family, including our 22, 19, and 15-year-old sons. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this tour.
-We'll start exploring Santorini by taking a stop in Firostefani to admire the famous Blue Dome Church, which is a true island emblem. -Then we'll visit Oia, the cosmopolitan village with many blue-domes and adorable views, which will take your breath away. -The mediaval village of Pyrgos is our next destination. This village is famous for its well preserved Venetian Castle. -Afterwards, we'll go higher, to the top of the mountain of Prophet Ilias. Feel free and seize the opportunity to admire the panoramic view of the island, the caldera and the neighboring islands. -We'll enrich our historical knowledge by visiting the Akrotiri Archaeological Site which has been characterized as one of the most significant prehistoric settlements of the Aegean. (I won't guide you here). -Nearby, we'll find the unique Red Beach, which features red volcanic rock formations. -Our last stop will be at the famous Black Beach of Perivolos, where we could enjoy lunch or/and wine tasting in this fancy beach bar restaurant.
