Santorini Private Highlight Tour with Local Guide

At the edge of the island in Akrotiri, the Santorini Lighthouse has stood since 1892, guiding ships through the Aegean with its steady beam. Built by the French and once operated manually, it’s now fully automated but still radiates the charm of a bygone era. Perched on rugged cliffs, it’s one of the best spots to watch the sun melt into the sea, offering peace, history, and unforgettable views.

Red Beach, near Akrotiri, is one of Santorini’s most iconic spots—famous for its vivid red cliffs, volcanic sand, and striking contrast with the deep blue sea. Formed by ancient lava, it offers a unique, dramatic landscape that’s perfect for photos, swimming, and soaking in the island’s volcanic beauty.

The windmills of Emporio, perched on the hills above the village, are remnants of Santorini’s agricultural past. Once used to grind grain using the island’s strong winds, these traditional white cylindrical mills now stand as peaceful symbols of local history, offering charming views over the countryside and the sea.

The Monastery of Prophet Elias, built in 1711, is the highest point of Santorini, located at 567 m above sea level.
