What to expect

Picture-postcard Santorini is just around the corner on this half-day tour around the island. You'll find villages – big and small – beautiful scenery everywhere you look as well as history at Akrotiri excavation site and local flavours at a clifftop taverna.

This exclusive small-group tour gives you an in-depth introduction to the real Santorini. First stop will be the highest point on the island, Profitis Ilias, where you'll be able to survey the unfolding views and take in the majestic beauty of the island. Next, we'll visit the picturesque villages of Megalochori and Emporeio where you'll wander down historic narrow cobbled streets.

After that it's on to Akrotiri, where you'll be able to visit the excavation site or simply relax on the beach before visiting the jewel in the crown, Pharos lighthouse, whose views over the caldera are breathtaking. Having soaked up culture and scenery, it's time to soak up some local flavours with a traditional meze lunch with wine at a clifftop restaurant complete with views.

    Nothing at all to not like. The whole experience was very enjoyable, knowledgeable and informative. The guide, Kim, was absolutely fantastic and extremely helpful, friendly and knowledgeable about the whole island as well as the villages individually. The visit to Akrotiri was an experience never to forget. Absolutely worth every penny and could not recommend highly enough.

    Excellent Guide very knowledgeable, nice villages visited with good food and wine to complete the tour. Good all morning tour ideal to fill last day before evening flight home. Some parts in the village walks are uphill, and sensible shoes required. Extra 20 Euros to see the historic site otherwise in a cafe / beach for an hour. Good views across to the capital and islands from the lighthouse stop.
