Highlights
- Begin your excursion at Santorini’s ancient port, where your voyage ship will be moored. Utilize the iconic cable car to ascend to Fira town, a journey not to be bypassed. A deluxe van will be at your service at Fira to initiate your Santorini exploration!
- Upon arrival at Fira, proceed to the globally renowned and picturesque hamlet of Oia, celebrated for its distinct Caldera and the breathtaking vistas of the Aegean Sea. Savor a leisurely walk along the hamlet’s constricted passageways, peruse its high-end boutiques and art exhibits.
- Your next stop is the hamlet of Imerovigli, renowned for providing the most exceptional views of the Caldera, Skaros Island and the legendary tri-bell blue dome chapel.
- After your village tours, journey to the island’s apex at Profitis Ilias. This towering mountain at 567m/1860ft facilitates panoramic scenery of the entire Santorini Island. You’ll traverse some of Santorini’s medieval hamlets, including Pyrgos, on your ascent. Upon reaching the summit, consider visiting the Monastery, a historical site dating back to the 18th century.
- Your next halt is at the black sand beaches of Perissa and Perivolos, famed for their transparent waters and intriguing volcanic landscapes. These are the leading spots for swimming and sunbathing. You can also enjoy a meal at one of the beachfront taverns.

Spectacular Panoramic Views! - Did the 4 hour private tour with Spyros who did a really nice job pointing out the sights and history of Santorini while safely and smoothly driving us through the less than spacious roads of the island. Only negative was that the 4 hours went by way too quickly!!

The transport is great, the guide is very kind and helps you if you want a photo. Clean mobility, punctual with the hours. If I come back to Santorini, I’m come back with Makedas Travel !!

Santorini customized tour - Yannis is an excellent guide with great personality and knowledge of the history of the island. He customized a private tour for us which covered all of our points of interest: light house, ancient village, monastery at the highest point in Santorini, Megalochorion, Akrotiriou-Oias, black beach, and others.
We highly recommend Yannis.
The car was very clean, modern and luxurious. We got to see the whole island and tried authentic local cuisine.
It was a great experience.

Great way to explore! - What a great way to explore Santorini! Yiannis was a wonderful guide with so much knowledge about the island and the places we visited. He made sure I got the best views for my pictures, answered all my questions and was an impeccable driver. There's no way I would have been able to see so much on my short visit to Santorini on my own. I highly recommend this tour, and ask for Yiannis!
