Itinerary

Stop 1

Begin your full-day private tour early in the morning with a pick-up from your hotel. Your driver will transport you to the Athens Airport, where you will catch your flight to Santorini.

Stop 2

Upon arrival at Santorini Airport an experienced local driver/guide will meet you, and then spend the day exploring the world's most iconic island in a deluxe and comfortable minivan.

Stop 3

Commence your private tour in Santorini with a pick-up from your hotel or the nearest accessible point, and enjoy a day of exploration on the world's most iconic island in a deluxe and comfortable minivan with an experienced local driver/guide. First, drive to the island's northern part and welcome the famous village of Oia. Unique in every way with the scenic blue-domed churches and stunning panoramic views, Oia is one of the most instagramic places in Europe and a must-see.

Departing from the north, driving through the eastern coast and dry desert-like land, arrive at another traditional village, Megalochori, located in the island's interior. Stroll the narrow pathways, and capture the lovely tiered bell towers found on the way.

In this picturesque and non-touristic environment, you will delve into the local slow-paced culture.

Back on the minivan, driving between landscapes full of vines, reach the island's highest peak, the monastery of Prophet Elias, at 565 meters. In these tranquil surroundings, taste local products made by the monks who reside in this old monastery built in 1711 and appreciate magnificent views of the whole island.
