Best tour in Santorini

Added by: Unihotel administration account 14.09.2015

We will start our tour to Akrotiri Excavations, where you can admire the ruins and the whole Archaeological minoan civilization.

Near the excavations is the Red Beach which we will visit to take some photos or swim if we want.
After the Red Beach, we will drive to Oia with a short stop at "Santo Wines" at the
highest point on the cliffs for more views of the caldera, the volcano and the whole island. In
Santo wines winery, you will have the chance, if you want , to taste our
local products and the famous Visanto wine.

Next stop before Oia will be the famous Blue Dom Church in Firostefani, the one known from the post
cards and travel guides, which is built at the edge of the cliffs at Firostefani with
the great views of the Volcano. Here we should take a few photos.

The village of Oia will be our next and last stop, at the northern tip of the island
featuring spectacular views, great sightseeing with traditional pedestrian roads,
restaurants, jewel and souvenir shops for your shopping.

Our tour will end at Fira where you can spend your remain time before
getting back to the ship.

The above tour in Santorini is approximately 5 hours in which you will see the whole island
from the one end to the other.
If you want you can make the tour 6 hours, in case you
want to add lunch in a Traditional Tavern in Oia, or visit one or two more
places.

Our tour in Santorini includes:

Vehicle with driver and English speaking escort with you all the time.
Small bottle of water upon meeting on the minivan.

Cruise traveler info:

Due to the fact that our port is not deep enough to host the big cruise ships
that arrive from all over the world, the ships dock in the open almost next to
our Volcano and from there, tender boats bring our guests either to
the Athinios port or to the Old port which is called Old but isn't.

Those who will choose a massive Santorini tour purchased from the cruise line,
are taken to Athinios port which is 20 minutes from Fira and those who prefer a more
comfortable and less stressful will be taken to the Old port where there is
no car access and the only 2 ways up are the donkeys and the cable car but you
access Fira within 5 minutes.

Donkeys are fine but please note that they do not take you all the way up and
you will have to walk for a while until you reach Fira, our capital.
We personally recommend you to get the cable car as it is a more comfortable way and allow me to say less smelly.
