What to expect

Some of Santorini's best sights are lined up in this afternoon trip which includes the ancient village of Mesa Gonia, Pyrgos at the highest point on the island and beautiful Oia – one of the most photographed places in Greece.

First up is Mesa Gonia. This tiny village is the oldest on the island and is surrounded by vineyards. From there, you'll drive to Pyrgos, Santorini's former capital. This pretty place is all sugar-cube houses, neo-classical mansions and narrow lanes twisting up to a Venetian castle, which offers up fabulous island views.

Afterwards, you'll get to sample some local wines in a secluded spot with sea views, before heading for Santorini's star turn – Oia. Perched on a clifftop, this hip-and-happening whitewashed village serves up amazing views over the caldera, making it the perfect spot to catch a blazing Greek sunset. It's spectacular stuff.

    We both really enjoyed the tour. Our guide was Kim and she was excellent. Extremely informative and helpful, she also gave us a tip on a great place to see the sunset. We took her advice and had some fantastic food and drink with lovely staff and fantastic view of the sunset.

    Good trip. Plenty of free time in oia. Too much really unless you had a meal there. The wine was nice but note it wasn’t a vineyard just a distribution point. A good afternoon and evening out. Plenty of stunning views and we felt we saw the north of Santorini. Especially after climbing the steps up to the castle.

    Travelled with family


    Tour delayed by 30 mins, no explanation given, temporary bus to first location had no air conditioning, very oppressive,, felt nauseous and trip rushed trying to make the time up. First activity was the wine making which we did not enjoy due to feeling sick after the very hot journey. Expected better from a Tui trip
