Highlights: Oia, Firostefani, Monastery of Prophet Ilias, Megalochori, Red Beach, Black Beach.

Our usual first stop is the picturesque village of Oia, a place of unmatched beauty and tranquility. Built on the slope of the Caldera, it is truly the quintessence of what Santorini has to offer: glorious skies meeting endless blue seas, traditional Cycladic houses along idyllic footpaths and an entirely immersive atmosphere – a generously rewarding experience for the visitor.

Another stop on this Santorini top island tour is Firostefani, the ‘crown of Fira’. Taking its name from its elevated position, this settlement is blessed with truly breathtaking views of the island. This location is also home to the Blue Domed Church, a prominent icon of the island of Santorini.

Our itinerary will also take us to another highlight of the island, the Monastery of Prophet Ilias (Prophet Elijah). Perched on the summit of the highest mountain of the island (600 meters above sea) and dating back to 1711, it is a place of great historical interest and indeed a rewarding one in terms of stunning views beyond description.

The authentic old settlement of Megalochori, the ‘big village’, awaits visitors with its warm and inviting atmosphere. Dating back to the 17th century, it is one of the most picturesque villages of the island featuring historical mansions with inner courtyards, traditional architecture and pirate hideaways.
Our itinerary shall also include the famous Red Beach. Standing true to its name, the distinctive Red Beach features a remarkably imposing odd formation of red volcanic rock dramatically contrasting the magnificent blue of the sea – a truly unique sight to behold.
Black Beach, or Perissa, is actually the end of the long black sand beach of Perivolos and, it is the busiest and most famous beach in Santorini. After enjoying the clear waters and impressive black sand, we shall try the local specialties available at the many seaside restaurants.

This six-hour tour includes food and it should be observed that the cost of the tour and meal are packaged in one fixed price.

After soaking up the magic of Black Beach, visitors will enjoy delicious Greek cuisine at a traditional Greek tavern at the same location. Food is served on a large platter and there are two options available: Meat Platter and Fish Platter. Each platter serves two people and therefore diners should state their preference in pairs.

The Meat Platter features pork steak, grilled chicken kebab and sausages. The platter is complete with the local traditional signature dishes of fava beans and tomato fritters, potatoes and two sauces.

The Fish Platter is a selection of grilled and fried squid, mussels and shrimp; also included are the local traditional dishes of fava beans and tomato fritters, potatoes and sauce.

To enhance your dining experience, both the Meat and the Fish Platter are accompanied with Greek salad and matched with homemade wine – all included in the tour price.

* customers can request additional items from the menu at an extra cost which is payable at the tavern.
** the content of both platters may vary slightly due to seasonality and availability.
