About this experience
The small group size means your guide can offer more personalized guide services. So don't linger; ask your questions, and you will help the guide adjust your comments to the interest of the group on Board this day; each group is different!
Another advantage of a small group tour is that you can go where big bus tours can't, and wherever possible, the minibus will go down a country road to reveal some hidden gem.
Tours only stop at the places you paid to visit during the tour, with no stops at gift shops or restaurants in the middle of nowhere.
- Specially built minibusses have large windows, good air circulation, and transparent PA systems.
- Your local guide can comfortably accompany you around our wonderful island and hidden precious countryside.
- Despite the small numbers, a minimum of two people is required, as we guarantee a tour if available.
- Small-group tour up to 12-15 people.
- Touring in our brand new Mercedes Sprinters

Head to Prophet Elijah Mountain and admire the most breathtaking view from the island's highest peak. You will enjoy a fantastic view of the entire island from this point. The name of the Mountain is Profitis Ilias (Prophet Ilias), coming from the Monastery of the same name on the summit, built-in 1711. In this stunning and peaceful environment, you can taste wine and local products from the monks.
5
Monоlithos is on the east coast of the island, 2 km north of Kamari, and has the finest sand you will ever find on Santorini. It can hardly be called a village, but there are a few hotels and taverns in the area.
The beach is long with dark sand and some trees growing directly on the sand. Part of it is organized with sunbeds and umbrellas for rent. It is suitable for children as the water is shallow around the shore. You will also find a playground and changing cabins on the beach.
