Three Bells of Fira
The Three Bells of Fira, officially known as the Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, is one of Santorini’s most iconic sights. Located in the quaint village of Firostefani, just outside Fira, this charming church features a striking blue dome that contrasts beautifully with the whitewashed walls and the deep blue Aegean Sea. Its bell tower, with three bells, stands proudly against the sky, making it a favorite spot for photos and a perfect stop on a private tour of Santorini. Perched on the edge of the caldera, the church offers breathtaking views of the volcanic cliffs, the vast caldera, and the islands that make up this unique volcanic archipelago. From this vantage point, you’ll enjoy a panoramic scene that captures the essence of Santorini’s beauty and history. Visiting the Three Bells of Fira allows you to experience the island’s iconic landscapes and serene church architecture in one unforgettable spot.
Imerovigli
Imerovigli, often called the "balcony to the Aegean," is a serene village perched high on the cliffs of Santorini’s caldera, offering some of the most breathtaking views on the island. Known for its peaceful ambiance and traditional whitewashed buildings with iconic blue domes, Imerovigli is a must-visit for those seeking a quieter escape with stunning scenery. The village is famous for its narrow, winding paths that lead to charming churches and viewpoints, making it a picturesque stop on a private tour of Santorini. From Imerovigli, visitors can take in panoramic views of the volcanic caldera, the deep blue sea, and the surrounding islands. The village’s elevated location provides a unique vantage point that overlooks Skaros Rock, a historic fortress ruin that juts dramatically into the Aegean. Standing here, with the caldera stretching out below and the volcano on the horizon, you’ll experience a tranquil yet awe-inspiring scene that captures the essence of Santorini.

We had a great time on this tour around the island. Giannis was very responsive to our requests on how we wanted to spend our time, and made good recommendations on what to see and where to eat. There is a fair amount of walking up and down stairs and inclines, Some of which are slippery with rocks and gravel, so good walking shoes are important. Overall, we really enjoyed taking in the history and the views. The wine tasting to end the tour was delightful and more upscale than we expected, and there were enough snacks to accompany the wines to share with the kids as well.
