Begin your adventure at Profitis Ilias

After picking you up from the upper cable car station in Fira, we head to Santorini’s highest spot. From here, you can see the entire island laid out before you: the caldera’s dramatic cliffs, the Aegean stretching endlessly and neighboring islands dotting the horizon.

Your guide shares fascinating stories about how the volcanic eruption shaped the landscape while your camera works overtime to capture those 360° views. Overall, it’s the perfect introduction to understanding the island’s unique history and geology.

Discover Megalochori’s authentic charm

Next, we venture to one of Santorini’s most picturesque yet wonderfully under-the-radar villages. This is where you’ll get a glimpse of authentic island life. 

From neoclassical mansions and traditional cave houses to flower-draped doorways and a peaceful central square, Megalochori feels like stepping back in time. And it’s all yours to explore without the crowds you usually find in more famous spots.

Roam around Oia’s charming alleys

It’s time to witness up close the village you’ve seen a million times on Instagram. Follow your guide through Oia’s most iconic spots as they share insights only locals know.

Then comes the best part: 1.5 hours of free time to experience it on your terms. Browse the art galleries and boutique shops, find that perfect viewpoint for photos, grab a coffee at a cliffside cafe or simply wander the cobbled streets, soaking it all in.

Wrap things up with a mouthwatering wine tasting

Your final stop brings you to Anhydrous Winery, where you’ll discover why Santorinian wines are so renowned.

Taste a selection of labels while listening to interesting facts about the age-old winemaking methods and how the volcanic soil helps create those distinctive mineral notes. Paired with local bites, it’s the perfect way to wrap up your tour before heading back to your ship.
