Meeting info
There are pre-defined pick-up/drop-off locations, at convenient central spots in most villages. After the booking, you will be advised of a pick-up location that is closest to your hotel or most convenient for you!
Every evening you can enjoy a wonderful 4-hour tour through Santorini’s captivating villages and capture the most breathtaking views that you have ever seen!
Explore three impressive settlements and their hidden gems off the beaten track, before heading towards the most visited and picturesque village of the island, Oia, where you’ll watch the most breathtaking sunset. Pick up and drop off service at convenient meeting points near your hotel is included in the price.
The tour starts from Firostefani, an adorable village perched on the caldera cliffs. Its name means “The crown of Fira” and indicates its position on the highest part of the capital. It becomes obvious that its gifted location offers a unique perspective and stunning views on the capital, the caldera, the sea and the volcano. A stroll around its peaceful, quaint alleys will leave you open-mouthed as you will encounter astonishing traditional houses and blue-domed churches scattered among them.
The next caldera settlement you will visit is Imerovigli, also known as “The balcony of the Aegean”, as it is the highest and most central village on the caldera cliffs. It clearly provides majestic views to the Aegean Sea and the volcano that together compose an unbelievable sight. Imerovigli also stands out for its admirable architecture and serene atmosphere. Along its cobblestoned alleys you will admire typical whitewashed houses, lovely chapels and churches as well as an immerse rock that lies in the sea and is the greatest attraction of the village and one of paramount importance, called Skaros.
The best way to end this tour is by living the top experience in Santorini - admiring the sought-after sunset from the Castle of Agios Nikolaos in Oia. The ruins of this prominent castle are on the northwest edge of the caldera and, hence, offer a fantastic view that takes your breath away, especially during sunset. Multitudes of people gather there and seek a spot in order to lay eyes on this unparalleled spectacle. They also wish to be part of this unique sensation and festive atmosphere as, according to the tradition, when the sun “disappears” completely, all people start clapping and cheering. In Oia you will also be given free time so that you can wander around and take delight in its jaw-dropping architecture and the striking natural beauty all around you. You can go to a restaurant or a café to relax and enjoy the incredible view.

Blue dome BUS tour
Guide was very informative but … in 36 degree heat had us walking for over half hour up and down steps and cobbled streets . Then got back on the bus to oia to walk up yet another steep hill . We ended up paying 35 euros taxi back as this was too much in the heat and it was in the heatwave in Greece .., should have been cancelled . I did complain
Notos Travel
Dear guest, thank you for joining our tour! Our tours take place from spring to autumn mainly for the good weather conditions that prevail in Santorini. The temperature in Greece the summer months is elevated. This excursion includes a guided tour of the villages and as you understood from your visit to the island it is impossible to approach by bus due to the terrain. Therefore walking is necessary. We are very sorry that while you enjoyed our tour you were not satisfied with the weather conditions. We hope the next time you come to the island the weather conditions will be better and you will enjoy one of our excursions. The Notos Travel team

Lovely tour
Good value for money you get to see the traditional santorini like you see in the magazines. Our tour guide, Patrick, was super friendly and approachable, and he knew anything and everything you wanted to know about the island. Sunset was very pretty. Highly recommend this tour.
