Great trip - Great day from start to finish! The church and the beaches were nice, but nothing we haven't all done before. The beautiful old village was so chilled and had a real charm to it. The highlight of the day was the ruins of Akrotiri, which was mind-blowing. Our guide Eugenie was excellent and clearly passionate about the site. What can I say about our guide for the day, Tanya? She was kind, friendly and funny. Kamari tours should give her and Nikos a raise!

Book today - This tour was amazing. Akrotiri was more impressive to me than Pompeii on some levels and I would recommend to anyone. I think what made the whole tour more special was tania our guide. She was informative and fun and I have been on lots of tours around the world and she was the best guide I’ve had. Thank you for an amazing day
