Discover Santorini’s traditional villages, taste local wines, and watch the iconic sunset in Oia on this scenic cultural tour.

Experience the authentic charm of Santorini on this guided tour that combines traditional villages, panoramic views, local wine tasting, and the famous sunset in Oia.

Your journey begins with a comfortable pick-up from your hotel or meeting point. First, explore the peaceful village of Megalochori, where cobbled paths, whitewashed houses, and hidden chapels reveal the true soul of the island.

Continue to Pyrgos, a hilltop village once Santorini’s capital. Here, you’ll walk through narrow alleys and stone stairways, passing by Venetian ruins and panoramic viewpoints.

Note: Pyrgos involves uphill walking and stairs – comfortable shoes are recommended.

Reach the highest point of the island, the Monastery of Prophet Elias, and take in spectacular 360° views over the caldera, vineyards, and the Aegean Sea.

Then, visit a local winery, where you’ll sample three signature Santorinian wines and learn about the island’s unique volcanic viticulture.

End your day in the magical village of Oia, where you’ll have free time to stroll, shop, and admire the world-famous sunset over the cliffs — the perfect conclusion to a day full of beauty and discovery.

After sunset, relax with a return transfer back to your hotel.
