Walking or taking public transport to reach the highest village on the island does not sound very appealing but what if you can travel there in the most comfortable way? Our chauffeur will take you for a short trip to the traditional village of Pyrgos, the place that boasts the most amazing panoramic views of both sides of the island. The village gained well-deserved reputation of being “Hidden Gem” of Santorini due its authentic character, laid back atmosphere and marvelous location. Once you are in Pyrgos head to its highest point - the Venetian castle, where the view is unexampled. Take your time to wander through the narrow streets, grab a coffee or a snack, soak in the views and enjoy natural beauty present around every corner.

Firostefani village is quiet, elevated settlement offering some of the best views on the island and easy escape from usually crowded Fira. Located just 10 mins walk up the footpath from Santorini’s capital, Firostefani has a character of traditional village, but you will find there also beautifully located cafes and restaurants. Enjoy the stroll through the narrow alleys of Firostefani, where every stop offers a splendid view to the wild beauty of the caldera. Take a picture of the Blue Dome and Bell Tower of Firostefani Church,built at the edge of the cliff and well known from the postcards. There is no better way visiting Firostefani than with one of our VIP car tours and in the reliable hands of our experienced local chauffeurs.

Stop 4

Black sand can be found on many Santorini’s beaches where the sand is mixed with the pumice, the volcanic ash and the bits of solidified lava left by volcanic eruption that occurred 3,600 years ago. Having said that there are only few beaches which are solidly black and therefore a must-see.The most popular and well organized black beaches are Perissa Beach and Perivolos Beach, both located on the southeast coastline. There offer sunbeds and umbrellas, a wide selection of water sports as well as restaurants and cafes. Perivolos beach is very popular among young people because of abundance of beach bars and famous DJ guest appearances, while Perrisa with its water park is more popular among families with children.

5

Megalochori is a picturesque, full of life village with friendly, lively residents. The central square is the heart of the village where locals gather in traditional cafes to unwind and have fun, creating a warm atmosphere

Stop 6

The Red Beach takes its name from the unique red colour of the surrounding cliffs and sand. Same as the whole landscape of Santorini, the beauty of the place was shaped by the volcanic eruptions. Despite a wild scenery, the beach is semi - organised with few beds and umbrellas.

Book a luxurious private tour which includes visiting the Red Beach and enjoy an austere beauty out of this world. However, what is not out of this world is the VIP feeling you will have during all our elegant tours of Santorini. What is on offer is unparalleled!
