Private Day Trip to Santorini from Athens: Sightseeing Highlights

Begin your full-day private tour early in the morning with a pick-up from your hotel. Your driver will transport you to the Athens Airport, where you will catch your flight to Santorini.

Upon arrival at Santorini Airport an experienced local driver/guide will meet you, and then spend the day exploring the world's most iconic island in a deluxe and comfortable minivan.

Commence your private tour in Santorini with a pick-up from your hotel or the nearest accessible point, and enjoy a day of exploration on the world's most iconic island in a deluxe and comfortable minivan with an experienced local driver/guide. First, drive to the island's northern part and welcome the famous village of Oia. Unique in every way with the scenic blue-domed churches and stunning panoramic views, Oia is one of the most instagramic places in Europe and a must-see.

Departing from the north, driving through the eastern coast and dry desert-like land, arrive at another traditional village, Megalochori, located in the island's interior. Stroll the narrow pathways, and capture the lovely tiered bell towers found on the way. This settlement is made of hundreds of tiny whitewashed houses with elegant architecture, beautiful blue-domed churches, and underground cave dwellings. In this picturesque and non-touristic environment, you will delve into the local slow-paced culture.

Next, head to the most famous beach on Santorini, the Red beach, a remarkable natural wonder, and get the opportunity to take amazing pictures of the volcanic scenery and the reddish cliffs.

After a twenty-minute drive, arrive at the southernmost part of the island and step onto Perivolos black sand beach, with the fantastic seaside restaurants and crystal clear waters.

Back on the minivan, driving between landscapes full of vines, reach the island's highest peak, the monastery of Prophet Elias, at 565 meters. In these tranquil surroundings, taste local products made by the monks who reside in this old monastery built in 1711 and appreciate magnificent views of the whole island.

After this fascinating experience, your day trip ends back at the Santorini Airport, where you will take your flight back to Athens, where we will drive you back to your hotel.
