About this activity
Santorini, the gemstone of the Aegean Sea, is a volcanic island in the southernmost part of the Cyclades and one of the most popular tourist destinations in Greece; the reasons are numerous. It owes its existence to an intensive volcanic activity; twelve huge eruptions that occurred every 20,000 years approximately caused the gradual collapse of the volcano’s central part creating a large crater (caldera).Once there you will be bewildered by the dramatic ocean views, the pristine beaches as well as the traditional Grecian architecture. Being a renowned international vacation destination, it attracts thousands of tourists during high season, but its charm and elegance make a tour in Santorini an unforgettable experience despite the crowd.
Meet your private guide outside your hotel and hop on your private mini-bus heading to Santorini’s highest peak, the Mountain of Profitis Ilias, which is crowned by the respective monastery. The mountain offers an ideal photo opportunity to capture the peculiar beauty of the island.
After spending some time enjoying the fantastic view, proceed to the most northern tip of the island to explore the breathtaking village of Oia. This dramatic small village is built on a steep slope of the caldera. Many of its residences are situated in niches hewn into the volcanic rock. You will be able to take a walk through Oia’s narrow cobbled streets, where you will come across many tiny shops with a vast and extraordinary collection of hand-made works of ceramic art, paintings and semi-precious jewelry. Oia, perched on the edge of the cliffs offers spectacular views of Fira and the volcano.
After your tour, you will drive to Fira town. Finally, your private coach will take you back to your hotel.
