Oia
Visit the beautiful village of Oia, built on the northern part of the caldera rim. Oia is the most photographed location in Santorini, and a place where many artists have found inspiration in Oia's beauty, traditional architecture, and the fantastic sunset.

Enjoy the stunning views of the caldera, where many dwellings are built into the volcanic rock's niches. You will also have a panoramic view of the rest of Santorini and the Aegean Sea.

Imerovigli
Breathtaking view overlooking the Aegean Sea, the Volcano, and the Caldera.
The village of Imerovigli is situated high above the caldera's cliff, offering an incredible view. In front of the town is an enormous rock called Skaros, which used to be the best spot to look out for pirates.

Firostefani
We also visit the famous Blue Dome Church in Firostefani, the subject of so many Santorini postcards.

Prophet Ilias
Make your way to the peak of Prophet Ilias, the highest mountain that stands some 2,000 feet (600 meters) above the sea. Be amazed by the island vistas around you (360 degrees), and then follow your guide inside the ornate Greek Christian monastery perched at the mountain's summit.

Pyrgos
Visit the village of Pyrgos, the old capital, where you will take a guided walk along narrow paths to the ruins of the Venetian castle.

Venetsanos Winery
We will stop at the Venetsanos Winery, where you will learn the secrets of winemaking and savor the flavors of the renowned local wines.

Megalochori
Visit the village of Megalochori. Your guide will take you through the narrow streets, where you will have the opportunity to admire the town's traditional architecture.

Akrotiri Archaeological Site
Explore the Akrotiri Archaeological Site, a prehistoric Bronze Age city preserved in time by the ash that fell during the Minoan volcanic eruption 3,600 years ago. Some speculate that this is the origin of the mythical city of Atlantis.
Admire the elaborate drainage system, sophisticated multi-story buildings, magnificent wall paintings, and excavated furniture and vessels that showcase the former settlement's great prosperity.
Note: The Akrotiri Archaeological Site is open to the public from 10:00 to 17:00, Tuesday to Sunday. All Santorini Sites and Museums are closed on Mondays.

Red Beach
Admire the red layer of sand at the Red Beach. What makes the beach charming is its impressive red rock formations, which form a breathtaking landscape.

Emporio
The village of Emporio is the largest village on the Greek island of Santorini. You can view the historic windmills, which offer an excellent vantage point of the rest of the island. On the hill above the village of Emborio, you will discover both the ruins of Kasteli, a fortress from the Byzantine period, and the ruins of Goulas.

Black Beach
Visit the black beach of Perivolos, the largest beach on Santorini, which is covered with black volcanic pebbles. Take in the spectacular views of the Aegean Sea and the nearby islands. Enjoy an optional lunch at a seaside restaurant.
