What To Expect

Pick-Up From Your Location

Your tour begins right from your accommodation — whether it’s a hotel or villa — and at the end of the experience, we’ll return you comfortably back to your doorstep.
Please note: The order of stops may vary depending on your pick-up location to ensure the most efficient and enjoyable experience for all guests.

Monastery of Profitis Ilias, Pyrgos, Santorini

The ancient monastic complex of Prophet Elias on Mountthodoxy is a sight to behold. It has been magnificently preserved over time. You can clearly see how it played an important role during Greece’s Christian Orthodox Revolution by offering refuge for ships fleeing from their Turkish invaders and helping with food supplies when needed! A small part about this intriguing history remains intact, but your reward will be greater than anything else if only take the opportunity to climb up there yourself!

Megalochori - Chapel of Agios Nikolaos

In the heart of the traditional village of Megalochori, we stop to explore one of Santorini’s most picturesque landmarks — the charming bell tower that arches over the cobblestone path. This quiet, authentic village offers a glimpse into local life, far from the tourist crowds. We’ll also visit the quaint chapel of Agios Nikolaos, nestled peacefully nearby. With its serene atmosphere and stunning setting, this stop offers another perfect photo opportunity and a moment to appreciate the timeless beauty of Santorini’s heritage.

Wine Tasting (optional)

No visit to Santorini is complete without experiencing its world-famous wines. Our tour includes a stop at a local winery, where you’ll enjoy a guided wine tasting featuring distinctive volcanic varietals like Assyrtiko. Learn about the island’s unique winemaking traditions, shaped by its rich soil and dry climate, and savor a selection of reds, whites, and sweet vinsanto. Relax on the terrace with panoramic views of the vineyards or caldera, and let the flavors of Santorini tell their own story.
