Detailed itinerary

We start our tour from the capital of the island, Fira. It is the island's cultural, entertainment, and commercial heart and one of the most visited places in Santorini. It is built on the edge of a cliff falling into the sea, and its slope is covered with snow-white residential buildings, churches, restaurants, shops, etc. We will walk into the alleys and we will see the Catholic and Orthodox Churches!

We head to the most famous place on the island, Oia. It’s considered the most picturesque village of Santorini and holds the position of the most visited spot for sunset viewing, as it provides an excellent view of the well-known sunset, probably the most famous in the world. Oia is on the northwest coast of Santorini and its beauty is unprecedented…. a synthesis of white-blue houses and blue-dome churches, “hanging” on the caldera, composing a colorful canvas that is difficult to put into words. Time for photos and time for scrolling in the small alleys is at the heart of shopping, including famous local brands, handmade items, and souvenir shops.

Stop 3

The next stop is the Convent of Profitis Ilias, the mountain’s highest peak (567m). We can enjoy the impressive, breathtaking view. Today, the convent hosts an important collection of holy images, handwritten books, and rare ecclesiastical items.

After the Convent, we will visit the village Pyrgos which used to be the old capital of the island. At the village’s center are the medieval castle, several churches, traditional houses, and picturesque alleys!

Stop 5

Our following stop is the Red Beach. Its name is a tell-tale sign of what the visitors will encounter when approaching it. And yet, this beach is actually red: red, impressive rocks that form steep cliffs, red sand and a sea of deep blue, reflecting also the bright red of the landscape. A landscape truly ‘alien’ that scientists have only perhaps encountered on … Mars, the “Red Planet” – without of course the beautiful sea!

Stop 6

Perivolos Beach is famous for the black volcanic sand, offering a unique setting by the sea. Along the beach, you'll find a variety of beach bars and restaurants where you can enjoy a refreshing drink or a delicious meal.
