Things to do in Fira, South Aegean: The Best City Tours

February 8, 2022 Mikaela Didonna

The Greek island of Santorini is a blissful spot for a getaway, and its capital, Fira, is a vision of dramatic cliffs and pristine whitewashed buildings. The Archaeological Museum contains Minoan artifacts from Fira’s ancient foundations, while several churches and monasteries offer a glimpse into the historical and contemporary religious make up of this beautiful village. Exploring the shops and cafes along Fira’s narrow footpaths is a leisurely way to spend an afternoon.

If you are staying in Santorini and you would like to see the best of the south of the island, this tour is ideal for you. South of the island includes some of the major attractions, places of archaeological interest and lovely villages. Take a tour with one of our licensed local guides that can guide you also inside Akrotiri!. Akrotiri which is one of the most stunning archaeological sites in the world! This remarkably well-preserved ancient Minoan city was buried by a volcanic eruption 3,600 years ago. Archaeologists discovered at the site pottery, furniture, advanced drainage systems, and three-story buildings. Many believe the disaster and the site itself were the inspiration behind Plato’s story of Atlantis.

Inclusions: Transport by air-conditioned minivan OR Transport by private vehicle, Professional guide (certified), Private tour

We were in Santorini for one day and wanted to make it count. We booked with Kostas because he was recommended by some other people who had taken the Celebrity cruise we were on. I communicated via email with Kostas about some things we wanted to make sure we did on our private tour, mainly the ancient ruins of Thira. Kostas went out of his way to make the trip memorable for us. He is an expert on Greece culture and any question we asked him was answered with complete history. I highly recommend him for any tour of Santorini. If its not on his website, just ask him and he will make it happen.

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 had been island hopping around Greece and booked tours everywhere we went. By far, this tour was our most memorable. We booked our 5-hour tour online at the last minute in late October--right at the end of the tourist season. The company graciously honored our booking even though we were the only people to book a tour that day. Our guide, Galess, was informative, warm, friendly and had a great sense of humor. He even recommended restaurants and places to stay for our next trip to Santorini (hopefully) next year.
