Highlights
  • Our island tour begins in the renowned village of Oia. With your comfortable footwear, you’ll be guided to the popular Caldera and the iconic Blue Domes, both considered must-visit spots. Time will be allotted for photography and a walk through the charming shopping lanes where you can discover local labels, handcrafted items, and art houses.

  • We’ll go on to Imerovigli, often referred to as Santorini’s princess. You’ll enjoy a trip to the legendary Panagia Theoskepasti church, coveted as a honeymoon location, and appreciate the unique Cycladic architecture present throughout the village.

  • We’ll proceed to the renowned island capital, Fira, where the Prehistoric Thira Museum, Orthodox and Catholic Cathedral are located. Immerse yourself in the small pathways of Fira and enjoy breathtaking views of the caldera and volcano. Additionally, Fira boasts the biggest market on the island, home to a plethora of restaurants, tavernas, cafes, and nightspots.

  • Our journey marches on to the Convent of Profitis Ilias, stationed at the mountain’s highest point (567m/1860 ft), offering magnificent views. The convent is home to a valuable assortment of sacred relics, manuscripts, and unique ecclesiastical items.

  • The next relaxing stop is the Black Beach of Perissa, named after its dark sandy shoreline comprised of black volcanic stones. The stark contrast between the black sand and the crystal blue Aegean Sea paints a spectacular vista. Complementing its stunning beauty, it is fully equipped with traditional eateries and beachfront bars where you can unwind with a beverage or local dish or engage in water activities like windsurfing, snorkeling, and kayaking.

  • The day concludes with a wine tasting session - a signature Santorini experience. You’ll have the privilege of visiting a classic Santorini winery where you can sample exquisite wines crafted from grapes grown in volcanic earth.

Amazing enjoyable experience!! - Me and my partner we booked a wine tour with Makedas travel and our experience was absolutely great. Very clean luxurious car and right on time for our tour! Yianni, the driver that took us to the wineries, was extremely friendly with a big sense of humor and very knowledgeable about the island so he shared a lot of Santorini's history and made our half day tour amazing!! We totally recommend this company and don't forget to ask for Yianni to be your guide...five stars!!

Wonderful experience in Santorini - Perfect tour for our only one day in Santorini. Yianni was our driver and tourguide. He was awesome! From the very beginning he was easy to communicate and was also on time to pick us up from the airport. He definitely loves to share about Greece and Santorini. Me and my friend and boyfriend love photos and he drove us to certain view points to get the best ones. About the winery , the tour is not included which i think is perfect because you can choice to have a tourguide or just walk and get to the top floor where you can get a tasting where the options and pricess were good as well! very recommended Thank you Yianni for making our very short stay in Santorini a very unforgettable experience!
