Santorini Private 6 Hour Tour – Cyclades, Greece

EXPERIENCE

Experience the wonders of Santorini like never before with a personalized tour on this breathtaking island! As an experienced and passionate driver and guide, I offer tailored tours for individuals and small groups that are designed to capture the hearts of travelers. With my in-depth knowledge of the island’s history and culture, I can take you on a journey through Santorini’s hidden gems and iconic landmarks.

First stop is at Firostefani’s Blue Dome which is one of the most picturesque blue domes in Santorini. You get to enjoy the view of the volcano, the cruise ships and the village of Imerovigli.

Next stop is Oia where you can admire its unique architecture, captains’ houses, Blue Domes, cave houses and the sunset.

Profitis Ilias: The highest spot of the island (567 meters) is located between Pyrgos and Kamari. The Mountain’s name is Profitis Ilias (Prophet Elijah), coming from the Monastery with the same name on its peak. From this vantage point, you will enjoy a striking view of the entire island, from the patchwork agricultural plains to the hilltop village of Oia.

Pyrgos casteli: Pyrgos was built on the top of a hill and was until the early 1800, the capital of the island. The village is composed of traditional houses built around the Venetian Castle and the small streets follow the shape of the hill. Climbing from the square up to the castle of Pyrgos, the stone houses crowd more densely together and the labyrinth of narrow vaulted lanes becomes more tortuous. The village has many churches, around 33, but the most famous is the Monastery of Profitis Ilias, where a small collection of ethnographic material and old icons are exhibits. Pyrgos is a place that certainly worth a visit and dedicate enough time to the most fabulous panoramic view of the island.

Red beach, located by the village of Akrotiri. Beautiful beach, well known for the unique color of the sand and the hill behind it. Soaring red lava cliffs which drop right to the sandy shore and into the clear blue sea make for a majestic setting and one to enjoy. You’ll have around 30 minutes here for photos and for walking around.

Perissa black beach: Perissa is one of Santorini best beaches. Next to Emporio village a long dark sand endless beach. A feature that makes Perissa unique (besides the crystal water and the smooth sand) is the fact that is the best protected beach from the summer Aegean winds (called “Meltemia” in Greek). Perissa lies right next to Profitis Ilias Mountain, totally protected from the North. Magnificent beach for swimming.

During our adventure, we’ll also make sure to satisfy your taste buds with a delightful lunch experience. You’ll have the option to choose from three exceptional dining spots: a charming fish tavern next to the beach, a sunset view restaurant for a romantic atmosphere, or a restaurant that specializes in locally sourced ingredients.
