Description:
Our journey starts from Oia, the most famous village of Santorini, thanks to its picturesque style as well as the view to the caldera and the volcano. You will have plenty of time to explore the charming houses in narrow streets, blue domed churches, sun-bathed verandas and plenty of tourist shops. The magnificent view creates a romantic ambience, making Oia the highlight of Santorini.
Next stop is either at Firostefani, which is located next to Fira and it's a peaceful neighborhood perched on the cliffs of the Caldera where you will see the famous Blue Dome Church of Aghioi Theodoroi (Saints Theodore) or at Imerovigli, a village next to firostefani where an enormous rock called Scaros lies, which are the remains of a Venetian Castle built in 1207.
We will have a quick stop at the Monastery of Prophet Elias which is the highest peak of the island (565 meters), located between Pyrgos, Kamari and Perissa. The monastery is a beautiful and serene place with magnificent view of the whole island from the courtyard.
Next we head to Pyrgos (literally Tower) which is a medieval village on the foot of Prophet Elias Mount that oversees the entire Santorini. Pyrgos was the first capital of the island. Traditional architecture, mansions, small white houses, galleries, vineyards, churches make this peaceful place so unique. You will have time to walk on the hilltop and find the ruins of Kasteli Castle, one of the five 'kastelia' on the island.
Our final stop is a Traditional Winery, where you will have a memorable wine experience and a great wine-tasting. We can book you a reservation and ensure you get special reduced prices.
