Starting from your Santorini Hotel or Cruise ship port (meeting point: Mc’Donalds in Fira Town) travel to the island’s caldera for your first stop of the day to pose for pictures against the backdrop of the Aegean Sea.
Then continue to Oia -Santorini’s iconic whitewashed village that’s graced as a postcard. Take a stroll around the streets and enjoy some free time to sight-see and shop at leisure.
Travel to the peak of Prophet Elias mountain and enjoy some panoramic 360-degree views from the summit of Santorini, at 1000 ft, past Pyrgos village – the medieval capital of Santorini once, a quaint and traditional residential settlement nowadays where locals still enjoy their Greek coffee or a glass of Ouzo – the Greek traditional aperitif.
Continue with a visit to a traditional Santorini winery where the local “Assyrtiko” wine is made, sample four -types of the refreshing and crisp wine styles Santorini produces, paired with local cheese from the Greek islands.
Stainless steel fermented or aged in oak casks, the white wine of Santorini is worldwide renowned for its mineral and crisp taste coming straight from the volcanic soils of Santorini and the indigenous Greek grape varietal of the Old World, the Assyrtiko.
After the winery visit, enjoy a short drive towards the coast of Santorini to check out the dramatic-looking black-sand beach of Perissa – the longest and most popular black beach on the island.
You can try your feet in the water or relax in the comfortable chairs/sunbeds of the popular beach bars and restaurants located in the area, ready to welcome their guests with contemporary Greek tastes, traditional seafood specialties, or simply a refreshing cocktail or a colde beer served on the waterfront.
If time permits, before returning to the Hotel or Cruise port enjoy another scenic drive to “Faros” – the Lighthouse of Santorini located on the south end of the island.
The scenery here is still unspoiled and the views of the Santorini lagoon are simply amazing. Let your private driver-guide take a few photos of you filled with some of the most scenic views of Santorini in the background.
During the 5-Hour private Santorini Highlights Tour with Winery Tour and Tassting, you will spend your time seeing major attractions, traditional towns of the island, tasting its volcanic wines, and capturing some of the most incredible vistas that Santorini can offer.
