Detailed itinerary
1
If ever there was a picture postcard place in Greece this area of Santorini is it. The first secret spot of our private tour is located at the edge of the picturesque village of Oia, in the northern part of Santorini, with commanding views over the caldera and the famous sunset.
2
Imerovigli is probably most beautiful place in Santorini. It’s way less crowded than the famous village Oia and has some incredible photo spots too! Beside the picturesque white alleys, stair cases and bougainvilleas there are three spots you shouldn’t miss: Anastasi Orthodox Church, Skaros Rock and the hidden Theoskepasti Church.

Stop 3
We continue our tour by going all the way to the summit of Mountain Profitis Ilias, where the homonymous monastery is located. Feel free and seize the opportunity to admire the outstanding view of the island, the caldera and the neighboring islands from the highest point of Santorini – 2.000 feet (600 meters) above sea level.
4
In our visit to the Koutsogianopoulos Winery Museum you will enjoy a wine tasting of 5-7 local wine varieties of Santorini (wine tasting included in the price).
5
The true Heart of Santorini is a newly discovered attraction, and this hidden gem has been getting popular! It’s a heart-shaped hole in the rock that allows you to glimpse the Aegean Sea, the sky, and the volcano.
6
Located in the most southwestern tip of the island, the Akrotiri Lighthouse is one of the most beautiful sites in Santorini that offers impressive views.
