Top 10 Sightseeing Tours in Cyclades, South Aegean

October 4, 2021 Mikaela Didonna

The Cyclades is a group of Greek islands with beautiful, white sandy beaches, rugged mountains and lush valleys. Glamorous Santorini and Mykonos attract the jetset, while lesser-known isles, such as Milos and Naxos, are the perfect places for beach lovers. Ruins, including the 11th-century Dorian settlement and volcanic ash-preserved Ancient Akrotiri in Santorini, amaze those with a bent for ancient history. Sifnos' cuisine wins it admirers. Hydrofoils, ferries and catamarans connect the islands.

Our day started by going to the wrong pick up location (My fault completely). Our tour guide was so accommodating when I called to see about our pick up, his response was, "No problem, I'll be there in just a few minutes" My boyfriend and I could not rave about this tour anymore! Highly highly recommend! We were lucky and got to be the only ones on the tour, so we got what felt like the full VIP treatment. Our tour guide was so friendly and knowledgeable and really made an effort to explain the history of every stop we made and even acted as our very own photographer at many of the stops. Highly recommend taking this tour if you visit the island of Santorini, you will not be disappointed. I can honestly say this tour was an experience of a lifetime and something I will never forget.

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!

We booked a private tour as had teenagers and also an autistic son who would not have coped with an organised public tour. From the initial contact with Kallisti Private Tours we had every confidence we had made a good choice. Their communication was efficient throughout. Theodore was friendly and discussed with us what we would like to see, planning a personalised tour with us before we started the day. He took us to places we would never have discovered on our own. His knowledge of Santorini and its history was second to none and we could spend as much or little time in the comfortable air conditioned vehicle as required. Cold bottled water was provided all day. The views he showed us were stunning and there were plenty of photo opportunities and toilet breaks as required. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending this Tour in order to see the entire island with a good English speaking guide with so much local, geographical and historical knowledge. Real quality.
