After picking you up from your cruise port, port or airport, visit Oia Village, the traditional settlement located on the northern tip of the island built high on the cliff-top. Stroll through a maze of small shops, restaurants and cafes, white washed houses carved into the cliff side, blue domed churches and marble-stone alleys sparkling in the sunlight, with spectacular views of the rest of the island and the caldera.
On your way to Oia or back, make a short stop for unique photographic moments at Firostefani’s famous blue dome church. From there you can admire the white-washed houses extend along the reddish cliff as they hang over the deep blue sea of the Aegean.
Let your driver take you next through Pyrgos Village to reach the mountaintop of Profitis Elias, reach its monastery on the highest point of the island and enjoy a breathtaking panoramic view.
Continue with Akrotiri Village on the south west coast. Apart from having some of the best views on the island which reach as far as Oia, it is also home to some of Santorinis jewels, the Akrotiri Excavations, Akrotiri Venetian Castle, Akrotiri Lighthouse and Red Beach. Get driven until the very south end of Akrotiri peninsula where one of the oldest lighthouses in Greece stands.
On your return to Akrotiri visit the archaeological site, and walk inside the Pompeii of the Aegean or make a short photo-stop overlooking the volcanic Red Beach with its steep red rock cliffs and blue-green crystal waters.
Then continue your trip to the east side of the south to check out the long dramatic-looking black-sand beach of Perissa. Have lunch, relax or swim in Perissa black sandy beach, another famous volcanic beach of Santorini. Add a last visit to a winery, before returning back.
