What To Expect
Firostefani
(Optional) Firostefani offers the same breathtaking view of the Caldera as from the capital. Still, in a quieter and more relaxed atmosphere, this makes it a great option to stay, as it is only a 15-minute walk from the center of Fira, meaning you can plunge into the nightlife from the central city. But still, get some peace. The coastal path between Firostefani and Fira is a beautiful and popular walk, especially in the early morning or evening when it is not too hot. There are many restaurants, bars, and shops in the village itself, mainly along the main street, so even if you don't plan to leave the resort, you have everything you need right on the doorstep; it would be a little vain to have Fira so close and not go there at least once. We recommend Firostefani to couples who want to visit the Caldera but also want a quiet and relaxing holiday. However, it is unsuitable for children, as it is a 20-minute drive from the beach, and toddlers have little entertainment.
Imerovigli
Since the time of Byzantium, Imerovigli, one of the most impressive villages of Santorini, has stood on the highest point of the caldera. It is believed that the early settlement of Skaros was built in 1207 by the Venetian James Varotsi, who was granted Santorini after the conquest of Constantinople by the Crusaders in 1204. The modern village towers over an impressive volcano about 300 meters above sea level. It is about 2 km northwest of Fira on the road to Oia. In addition to the paved road, the village is connected to the capital of Santorini by a path offering endless views of the unique volcanic landscape. Today, Imerovigli is one of the most developed tourist destinations in Santorini, with first-class hotels, restaurants, and other shops. Tens of thousands of people visit it worldwide every year.

Riding but needed to be prepared for walking

5.00I travelled with family from age 80 to 26. Wearing sneakers is a must!!!! Some of places was too much walking for some family members. The black sand beach was the best place to me. Definitely, should have spent more time there. However; we were only spending one day in Santorini so the tour hit us with the highlights of Santorini.

Best Way to See All of Santorini

5.00I cannot give enough praise for this tour and our guide Mary. We were able to see almost the entire island, north to south, with walks through Oia and Fira, views of the windmills at the top of the mountains, visit with drinks at the black sand beaches, stop at the Akrotiri archeological site, and two wine tastings at a small family sized and modern middle sized vineyards. Perfect way to see the island and Mary was super knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating of all our requests!
Mary was amazing!

5.00What a wonderful day in beautiful Santorini! Though a couple of us had been to Santorini before, we were introduced to some amazing places we had never been before thanks to our amazing tour guide, George. He was so proud and knowledgeable about this beautiful island and took us to places only a local would know about. Thank you, George, for a perfect day in a perfect place.
Excellent Private Sightseeing Tour

5.00Excellent tour and best way to see the beautiful Santorini in a day in a smaller (private) setting. We were 4 (2 adults, 2 kids) and they came well prepared with car seats and extra water,. The views along the drive were breathtaking and had ample amount of time to stop for plenty pictures. Our guide (Mary) was super knowledgeable about the whole island and would highly recommend. They were also to make accommodations on their schedule when an emergency came up during the trip. Highly recommend.

A Great Tour of Santorini for our Large Group
Bill N,Oct 30, 2022
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00We had a group of 75 people in 4 vehicles with guides. We did the same itinerary. Each guide was excellent. Some had secret places they took their groups which was well received. Another just took the group to a spot at each place and let people have free time. Everyone was very happy with the tour. The only problem we had was that the tour operator (who was excellent to deal with) wanted to increase the price by 30% after we had collected final payment and after we had confirmed the prices and all the details 3 months before the tour. The compromise was to keep the price the same but change from 5 vehicles with 15 people each and 5 guides to 4 larger groups with 4 guides. This worked out OK but should not have been necessary. We also changed from a cable car back to water taxi and this was a great recommendation as there were 6 ships tendered. Vehicles were excellent and so were the drivers.
Excellent tour

5.00We had an excellent tour of main spots in Santorini. Mr Takis is a very skilled driver. He drove with ease on the narrowest street around the hills. We were on a spacious van. We were 11 people but it could fit even more people. Special mention to our guide Minas, he is extremely kind, took all of our pictures. He was very patient and highly knowlageable. He kept asking of we need anything. Thanks to them we had one of the most memorable day that we will cherish forever. That’s the kind of team you want for your Santorini tour. I hope this review will reach them and put a smile on their face. - the 11 people from Paris, France
