Private Santorini Day Of Discovery
Santorini Day of Discovery
Embark on an extraordinary odyssey to unveil the hidden treasures of Santorini during this comprehensive day-long private tour. The journey commences in the picturesque village of Oia, where historical houses built into the volcanic bedrock and the charming blue-roofed churches await your admiration. Here, against the backdrop of the Aegean Sea, capture moments that will forever remain etched in your memory.
Moving forward, we venture to Firostefani, often referred to as the “crown of Fira,” for an awe-inspiring vista of Fira and the volcano. Our visit includes the iconic Blue Domed Church, a perfect opportunity for a photograph that will undoubtedly stir envy among your friends.
The ascent to the zenith of Santorini, Mount Profitis Ilias, promises panoramic views that encompass the island’s splendor. Explore the vicinity of the historical monastery perched here. Next, discover Pyrgos, a traditional village nestled at the mountain’s base, providing signature panoramic views of both sides of Santorini while preserving vestiges of Venetian influence.
No sojourn to Santorini would be complete without a visit to the Akrotiri Archaeological Site – a testimony to one of the Aegean Sea’s most significant prehistoric settlements. This site reveals structures and artifacts preserved by volcanic ash from previous eruptions, offering insights into the advanced civilization that once thrived here.
The journey continues with an encounter at the distinct Red Beach, a product of ongoing geological processes. From there, we proceed to the renowned Black Beach, also known as Perissa, where a refreshing swim in crystalline waters awaits. This beach, forming the tip of the extensive black-sand expanse of Perivolos, stands as an essential highlight of Santorini.
Our ultimate destination is Koutsogianopoulos Winery, where you can indulge in the flavors of Santorini’s celebrated local wine varieties.
Please Note: Vehicles available for this tour accommodate groups of up to 7 guests maximum. Groups with more than 7 guests will need to book multiple vehicles. Please take this information into consideration when booking.
| Day 1 |
Reshaped by volcanic activity, the rugged yet enchanting Santorini beckons all seafaring souls in the Aegean Sea.
Visitors to this breathtaking and romantic Cyclades archipelago will gaze at the whitewashed cubiform houses sitting cliffside and hovering over the water. Santorini is technically an active volcano, and perhaps the only volcano on the planet with its crater situated in the sea. But don't worry too much; the last eruption was 3600 years ago. Instead, couples and tourists should explore, taste the local wine, and lounge in the sun on black sand beaches. As the sun sets dramatically, visitors will find a taverna or bar and toast their impeccable taste in travel destinations. |
