The Best of Santorini

A Comprehensive Tour of This Wonderful Island Make the most of your time on Santorini by visiting all its highlights on one extensive excursion. From the tender pier, drive with your guide to Pyrgos, the island’s former capital. Enjoy a short walking tour here among narrow serpentine streets overseen by an old Venetian fortress. In the traditional village of Oia, explore picture-postcard streets lined with whitewashed houses and churches. Peek into artists’ workshops while enjoying sweeping views across the flooded caldera. Learn about Santorini’s viniculture at a local winery and enjoy a taste of the region’s famously full-bodied white wine. Return to Pyrgos for lunch at a local tavern, where musicians and dancers will regale you with traditional songs. Your appetite sated, return to your awaiting ship. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines.
