Detailed itinerary

After your pick up, we begin our journey from the northern part of Santorini, the unique Oia (approx 1 hour). Oia is known for it’s captivating sunsets, the picturesque blue and white houses and of course the famous blue domed churches. Here we will wander around the cobblestoned streets enjoying the view of the iconic Caldera. Oia, can surely provide us with many options to get to know the place better such as art galleries, traditional restaurants and coffee shops that are cliff hanging over the beautiful deep blue sea. Also, Oia is a must for unlimited shopping at local stores of all kinds and not to mention the non stop photo shooting at the most iconic landscape.

Stop 2

Our next stop is the idyllic Imerovigli (approx 20 minutes), the place where we will enjoy a peaceful walk through its narrow streets, admiring the dazzling view of the Caldera. At Imerovigli is where we will also find the Unesco protected Mount ”Skaros” which is the most important corner of the island due to its construction, as it is completely formed by lava. In the past Mt Skaros used to be a lookout point for protection against pirates but nowadays it is the perfect spot to enjoy the breathtaking view of the Volcano, Thirasia island and the endless blue of the Aegean sea.

We continue our day to the neighbouring Firostefani (approx 10 minutes), a small traditional village that hosts the most popular blue domed church known as ’’The Three Bells”, where we can have a direct view of the Volcano and Thirasia island. Firostefani is one of the most suitable spots to take unique postcard quality photos for unforgettable memories.

Our last stop that could not be missing from our itinerary is the famous Santo-Wines Winery (approx 1 hour). Santo Wines is one of the most popular wineries of Santorini. The Santorinian wine history is well known all over the world so wine tasting is a must. The upside here is that Santo Wines offers a large variety of local wines to taste whilst enjoying a 360° view of the Caldera.
