Detailed itinerary
1
We will pick you up from the cable car or your accommodation will be as close as it allows the vehicle to reach the spot. Travel to Oia, where you can take in the scenic views of nearby islands and the Aegean Sea. Oia is the most visited village in Santorini. Lies in the northern part of the caldera, situated above an impressive cliff overlooking the volcano and Thirassia island. Oia has become globally famous for its authentic Cycladic beauty, whitewashed houses, labyrinth-like alleys, and amazing hotels, even though the number one thing Oia is renowned for is its magical sunset. Hundreds of people gather every evening to watch the sun setting above the Aegean Sea and capture the most beautiful sunset in Greece. Reach the top of the hill, and you can marvel at the view of the caldera, and enjoy a refreshment before exploring the narrow streets with whitewashed buildings. Oia is certainly the most picturesque village in Santorini. Some may even claim it is the prettiest one in Greece!

Afterward, we’ll continue along to the village of Imerovigli, where a rock named Skaros served as a lookout for pirates. Next, you can get your postcard-perfect photo of the Blue Dome Church in Firostefani.

Lastly, you will visit Fira! Here you will have free time to enjoy the breathtaking view of the caldera and the volcano while having a refreshment, coffee, beer, or something to eat till the time comes to walk to the cable car for your departure! Fira is the beautiful capital of the island and the biggest and most cosmopolitan settlement of Santorini.
Fira is a combination of natural beauty, social life, nightlife, and shopping, where you can feel the liveliness of the island and where all the action takes place. What makes it so ravishing is the Caldera view that leaves visitors speechless any time of the day. A walk to the scenic alleys during the daytime will fill you with harmony, while at night you can find yourself in the middle of a big party.
