Customizable Santorini - Shore Private Tour

Get on this private tour of Santorini with just yourself, your party and your tour escort, the best choice for short-stay travellers and cruise ship passengers. See the most well-known places on Santorini Island by luxury minibus after docking at the cruise port. Make sure you take your camera with you as you will discover and enjoy some sightseeing and even play on the beach, grab some lunch, or shop for some souvenirs over the course of 5-hours. After getting off the ship, reach the top of Fira by cable car to meet your escort and begin your private shore excursion tour. The escort will have a suggested itinerary for you, however, you may change the schedule as you wish.

For your first stop, the guide will suggest a trip to Prophet Elias Mountain, the highest point in Santorini. There, you will have a panoramic view of the island as well as the Prophet Elias Monastery.

Next, head to the Akrotiri Excavations, the so-called Prehistoric Pompei or Lost Atlantis, an important Minoan Bronze Age settlement of the Aegean which was destroyed by a huge eruption during the 17th century BC. The settlement was buried under volcanic ash, which has preserved the whole city in perfect conditions.

Next, you can have a short photo stop at the famous volcanic Red Beach, well known for its unique sand colour and soaring red lava cliffs which drop right to the sandy shore into the clear blue sea.

Then drive to Oia with a short stop at Santo Wines or Venetsanos Winery, along the way. At the winery, you will have the opportunity to taste local products, including the famous Visanto wine (included only if you choose this option).

Move on to the Blue Dome church in Firostefani, known for its wonderful views of the volcano. Enjoy some time in Oia village where you can grab a drink, some snacks, or buy some souvenirs for your friends.

Finally, arrive at the northern tip of Oia and enjoy sightseeing, grab some lunch, or shop for some souvenirs. Return to Fira where you will take the cable car back down to the old port.
