Begin your tour in Oia, which has earned Santorini its star fame and made countless people fall in love - and explore it with a local who knows its hidden stories, how to beat the crowds and get you those photo-ops and nice souvenirs without any “tourist traps”. Cycladic architecture at its finest: lovely whitewashed houses, cave homes, captains’ mansions, blue-domed churches, bougainvillea in full color.

Adding to that is Firostefani: with its winning central location, the Three Bells viewpoint offers you a closer perspective at the whole shape of the caldera and the younger volcanic islets in the middle, as well as an amazing guide-book cover shot.

Continue your journey to the traditional village of Megalochori, which is known for its vineyards, artesans and quieter charms. Walk with our small group down the sloping street and let gravity finally be on your side as you get a personalized glimpse of Santorini’s everyday life further away from the usual caldera spots.

Last but not the least, rest your feet at the world-famous Perivolos Black Beach. Whether you feel like taking a dip, just lounging with a drink or having a delicious locally sourced lunch, enjoy the crystal-clear waters and breathtaking volcanic sands without the rush of a big bus tour.
