What to do and see in Santorini, South Aegean: The Best Archaeology Tours
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.

One word: FANTASTIC!!! Georgia was absolutely amazing! She knew so much about everything on Santorini including the Akrotiri archealogical site. She picked us up from our hotel in her car, took us for a tour around the south part of Santorini, including the light house, explanations about the landmarks, crops and buildings and then took us through an in-depth review of the Akrotiri Archealogical Site. We were so enthralled all through the tour and kept asking questions yet Georgian kept answering with in depth knowledge. Even our 13 year old was interracting and asking questions!! Would highly recommend the private tour. It's worth every cent!

I traveled to Athens in December 2020. During that time Greece was under strict restrictions due to the covid-19 pandemic. I booked the transfer in early December and they were very responsive to all my queries regarding my trip and kept me posted up to the last minute. I had a late night arrival but Christos, the driver was there on time with a warm welcome. The company vehicle was extremely clean,fully equipped with sanitizer and disinfectant wipes and masks (if needed). All the preventive measures were taken. On the way to Athens, Christos gave me a detailed update on the measures and the movement restrictions imposed by that time and thoroughly explained the procedure to issue permits (with SMS) to go out. I book the transfer back to the airport with Marryposa. Cannot thank them enough for their service and hopefully next time will be on their base, on Santorini island, for a full tour! Totally recommended for all travelers arriving to Athens and need a transfer!
