You step onto a caldera rim and the Aegean pushes its blue across the horizon; whitewashed chapels and blue domes puncture the sky while wind-scoured lava cliffs drop away to sea. This full-day private tour threads those cliffside views with quieter corners—black-sand coves, a prehistoric excavation, and a shaded family tavern by the water.
