Itinerary
Day 1
Private 6-hour guided loop of Santorini’s highlights. Your English-speaking guide will pick you up from your hotel, cruise tender top-of-cable-car point, airport or port (as arranged). The schedule below follows the activity backbone: Firostefani → Oia → Profitis Ilias → Art Space Winery → Megalochori → Emporeio → Black Beach, with local driving time between stops.
Firostefani — Three Bells of Fira
Capture the classic caldera panorama at the Three Bells of Fira with your guide’s help to the best viewpoint and photo angle.
Tips from local experts:
- Wear comfortable shoes—the viewpoint involves a short paved walk with occasional steps.
- Arrive early in your tour to avoid the heaviest crowds and softer morning light for photos.
- If you are staying in Fira, tell your guide the exact hotel name so pickup can drop you near the shortest walking route.
Oia — Winding alleys and blue-domed viewpoints
A guided stroll through Oia’s alleys to reach iconic viewpoints while avoiding the most congested tourist paths; time for photos and a short break.
Tips from local experts:
- Follow your guide’s suggested route for the best blue-dome views while avoiding the busiest spots used by cruise-day crowds.
- Light layers are useful; Oia can be breezy even on warm days, and shaded cafés offer short rests.
- If you want a quick local treat, artisanal gelato shops are common on the main walking route—notify the guide if you’d like a stop.
Profitis Ilias — Hilltop viewpoint and monastery
Short visit to the Profitis Ilias area for panoramic island views and a brief look at the hilltop monastery surroundings.
Tips from local experts:
- The hilltop can be cooler and windier—bring a light jacket if your tour is in the shoulder seasons.
- Limited parking at the summit means this stop is best as a short photo-and-view break rather than a long exploration.
- If mobility is a concern, tell your guide in advance; the site has uneven ground and small steps near viewpoints.
Art Space Winery — Exo Gonia visit
Visit the Art Space Winery area for a relaxed look at local varietals and the winery’s setting. Wine tasting is optional and is not included in the tour price.
Tips from local experts:
- If you plan to taste wine, let your guide know so they can recommend the winery’s tasting options and timing.
- Photos of the vineyard and the building work well in soft light—midday visits can be bright; sunglasses and sun protection are recommended.
- Purchases at wineries are common; if you intend to buy bottles, have a small bag or let the guide know for secure transport back to your pickup point.
Megalochori — Traditional village stroll
Short walk through Megalochori to experience narrow lanes, whitewashed houses, and quiet village squares—ideal for intimate moments and photos.
Tips from local experts:
- The village streets are narrow—choose lightweight bags and hold hands crossing small lanes for easier movement.
- Many tavernas have shaded outdoor seating if you want a short coffee or snack stop; inform your guide if you’d like a recommendation.
- Respect private property; many homes have small courtyards and the quiet atmosphere is part of the village charm.
Emporeio — Castle village exploration
Drive-through and brief exploration of Emporeio, the island’s fortified village, with its narrow streets and traditional architecture.
Tips from local experts:
- Wear flat, non-slip shoes—cobbled lanes can be uneven in places.
- If you or your partner prefers limited walking, request the shorter route through the central lanes—your guide will tailor pace.
- Emporeio is quieter than touristed towns—use this stop for relaxed photos and a calm break.
Black Beach — Perissa (black sand) short stop
A final short stop at Santorini’s black-sand beach area for a seaside walk and photo opportunity; swimming is optional and weather-dependent.
Tips from local experts:
- Beach shoes are helpful—the volcanic sand can be very hot in summer—bring them if you plan to walk on the shore.
- If you want to swim, bring swimwear and a quick-dry towel; the guide will allow a short window but the tour does not include extended beach time.
- Cruise passengers requiring the cable car should reserve extra time to return to the port; let the guide know your departure constraints at pickup.
