This unique bus tour experience starts from the picturesque village of Pyrgos, one of the well-preserved medieval settlements, known for its authentic traditional architecture. A walk at its narrow cobbled streets and hidden passages up the hillside with the numerous blue-domed churches scattered around and the capturing view from the top of the village is the best way to start your day tour in Santorini!
As the tour continues, you will reach the highest point of Santorini, the 567 meters tall (1860 ft) Mountain of Prophet Elias, which offers a panoramic view of the whole island. Get your camera ready for amazing photos of the vast plain fields that stretch up to the southeastern side and the beautiful villages built on the Caldera cliffs on the other side. You will have the chance to admire this stunning place, before setting off to the picturesque Megalochori village! Enjoy a nice walk in the small stone-paved streets, pass by the central square of the village with the traditional cafes, and feel the tranquility overwhelming you. Next, you will reach the popular black beaches of Perivolos and Perissa! There, you will have the time to relax and sunbathe on the black shore or take a refreshing swim in the crystalline waters while admiring the beautiful landscape around! It is also the place where you will enjoy a delicious lunch at one of the many restaurants by the sea!
The next destination will be the wonderful village of Imerovigli, built on the highest point of the Caldera cliffs, with a clear view of the imposing Volcano of Santorini and the sparkling Aegean Sea! Wonder at the breathtaking view and set eyes on the enormous Skaros Rock, an important attraction of the island, as it used to be one of the most significant fortresses and a great observation post!
After, get ready for a stroll at the steep cliffs of the Caldera in Firostefani village, with the view of the Volcano in the background, and the most popular Blue-Dome church on the island, before reaching the last stop of the tour, the graphic village of Oia! Explore the small paved paths among the whitewashed buildings and the churches with the blue roofs and witness the most spectacular sunset in the world! The moment that the sun is disappearing on the horizon and the sky is taking red and orange colorations will stay in your mind forever!

Lovely tour, we got to explore a few of cities and places all together in 8 hours which we wouldn't have otherwise. The only downside is that we werent able to have enough time to get the clicks in due to the time restriction. We felt like it was a bit rushed which I understand is due to the time restriction however it would have been good if we were given some time for ourselves to click photos for memories. Overall, a well organised, wonderful experience and a must to do tour. Our guide was great who explained everything as we went along. The 8 hours flew like anything. The tour I must say was a great experience especially for someone who likes to explore different places and cities and get to know the history behind them. Very well organised as we got picked up from Oia right on time and had a few stops in between for rest etc. We were taken care of very well too.
Very interesting excursion. Our guide was well informed, friendly, provided interesting information to the group and dealt calmly with a situation when one of the group wandered off without telling anyone (subsequently found). Great way to see some of the main sights the island has to offer. Good value for money.

The bus was packed, a number people were sick. Air conditioner didn't work. The guide tour didn't even suggest wearing masks. The woman across isle was coughing continuously. As a result I contracted COVID. If you care about your health please avoid this tour.
Dear guest, We're sorry to hear that you did not have a good experience with us. According to the health measures of the country mask and tests are not mandatory. Whether the participating customer is positive or negative we cannot know. It is within the scope of everyone's personal responsibility. We are very sorry if you got sick, but under no circumstances is it right to accuse a person without being sure that she was positive. The number of tourists visiting the island amounts to hundreds of thousands. Nevertheless, we will inform the tour guide about the incident and investigate it. The Tour Team
