About this experience
Your tour begins with a stop at the island’s iconic caldera, a striking viewpoint. Then head to Firostefani for a quick 15′ stop, a traditional village filled with many tiny churches, for more insight into the island’s history.

The journey continues to Imerovigli where we can see and take pictures of the caves, the place where the old Habitants of the island used to live. Then, we head to the edge of Imerovigli to see the well-known Skaros, an UNESCO protected mountaint that really floats on the air and take pictures of the region. On the way to Oia, we can witness red, black and yellow volcanic lava on the left side of the mini bus.
