What you will do

Oia
We will pick you up from the cable car or your accommodation will be as close as it allows the vehicle to reach the spot. Travel to Oia, where you can take in the scenic views of nearby islands and the Aegean Sea. Oia is the most visited village in Santorini. Lies in the northern part of the caldera, situated above an impressive cliff overlooking the volcano and Thirassia island. Oia has become globally famous for its authentic Cycladic beauty, whitewashed houses, labyrinth-like alleys, and amazing hotels, even though the number one thing Oia is renowned for is its magical sunset. Hundreds of people gather every evening to watch the sun setting above the Aegean Sea and capture the most beautiful sunset in Greece. Reach the top of the hill, and you can marvel at the view of the caldera, and enjoy a refreshment before exploring the narrow streets with whitewashed buildings. Oia is certainly the most picturesque village in Santorini. Some may even claim it is the prettiest one in Greece!

Afterward, we’ll continue along to the village of Imerovigli, where a rock named Skaros served as a lookout for pirates. Next, you can get your postcard-perfect photo of the Blue Dome Church in Firostefani.

Akrotiri Archaeological Site
The Bronze Age settlement of Akrotiri was one of the most important Minoan urban centers and ports in the Aegean Sea when it was covered by volcanic ash in the 17th century BC. The town of Santorini was covered in ash following a volcanic eruption on the island, preservation of the settlement is exceptional, making this one of the most significant archaeological sites in Greece.
Today the site of Akrotiri is covered by a bioclimatic roof and walkways suspended above the archaeological remains, which allows visitors to walk among the two and three-story buildings. So, if you would like to visit the Archaeological excavations of Akrotiri, a separate license from the state tour guide for Akrotiri will be required. This must be added to your reservation by an additional supplement, plus the additional supplement for the entrance tickets.
