About

Create your best memories in Santorini and follow us in this unforgettable tour. We will pick you up from your hotel and our first visit is at the monastery of Prophet Elias, built on the highest point of the island, 567 metres above sea level.

Arriving there you will realize what panoramic view means. We continue our tour with Pyrgos village. A stroll through its cobbled streets will reveal some interesting points of local architecture, as well as the remains of neoclassical mansions. We go on visiting a local winery where you will have time to relax and taste three different Santorini wines. The land part of the tour will end in Fira, the capital of the island with free time for lunch.

We will then pick up the cable car down to the picturesque old port of Fira and we will depart by a traditional wooden boat for a magical Santorini sunset cruise. Upon arrival at Nea Kameni island – the one we nowadays call “The Volcano” - our guide will lead you up to explore the rim of the fissure. Leaving the volcano, we are sailing for the "Hot Springs" and their thermal sulfurous waters, where you will be able to let yourself relish the natural-warm and soothing sea.

Next stop will be Thirassia island with free time for swimming. After that you will enjoy on board a delicious traditional BBQ buffet with the renowned local wine. Next we depart for the northern tip of Santorini and therefore the town of Oia with its two small fisherman ports Ammoudi and Armeni. Here you will relax in the attractive scenery and enjoy the sunset. At this time we set sails and head back to Fira listening to nice atmospheric music.
