10 Private Tours in Santorini That You Shouldn't Miss

August 4, 2021 Ying Subia

Even if you’ve never been to this Cyclades island in the Aegean Sea, you’d still recognize it immediately – candy-colored houses carved into cliffs, sapphire waters, gleaming white buildings topped with half-spheres the color of a stormy sky. Here you’ll find peace as you roam the black sand beaches or the streets of a provincial village like Imerovigli. Beautiful Oia is world famous for its sunsets, which seem tinted with every shade of an artist’s palette.

Our guide was great as we scheduled easy pick up and drop off locations. Each winery had a different feel as they were located in different parts of southern Santorini. Tour was finished off with Venetsanos winery which was located in the cliffs overlooking the caldera. We would recommend.

Had a great trip. The food served was excellent for this type of trip. Barbecued prawns and Greek salad plus a few extra options. The views on the trip were excellent and the crew were amazing. Our original trip was cancelled due to some thunderstorms but the team helped us fit the trip in before our flight which was hugely appreciated and the kind of customer service which makes it an easy trip to recommend.

We booked a full day 9 hour cruise for our family of 6 adults and it was the highlight of our Santorini holiday! The trip was tailored to suit our requests, Panos the skipper was amazing, making sure we were safe when on board and in the water and provided local knowledge and history of the places we visited. Yanis treated us like royalty filling our glasses with wine and water, helping us in and out of the boat and making sure we were all pampered! The boat is large enough to comfortably take 6 adults and we had full use of it. The food served was delicious and freshly made. We went snorkelling, walked up the volcano at our request, swam in the hot springs, saw all the local sights Red Bay, White Bay and saw the best Santorini sunset together as a family from the boat. I would definitely recommend the trip to anyone. Thank you for such a wonderful day!
