Santorini villages tour with Pharos Lighthouse

4.6/5
257 reviews

Picture-postcard Santorini is just around the corner on this half-day tour around the island. You'll find villages – big and small – beautiful scenery everywhere you look as well as history at Akrotiri excavation site and local flavours at a clifftop taverna.

This exclusive small-group tour gives you an in-depth introduction to the real Santorini. First stop will be the highest point on the island, Profitis Ilias, where you'll be able to survey the unfolding views and take in the majestic beauty of the island. Next, we'll visit the picturesque villages of Megalochori and Emporeio where you'll wander down historic narrow cobbled streets.

After that it's on to Akrotiri, where you'll be able to visit the excavation site or simply relax on the beach before visiting the jewel in the crown, Pharos lighthouse, whose views over the caldera are breathtaking. Having soaked up culture and scenery, it's time to soak up some local flavours with a traditional meze lunch with wine at a clifftop restaurant complete with views.

    Excellent overall… the pick up was a bit chaotic as out of 3 couples waiting there none of us were on the guides list but the trip itself was excellent. Very informative.. we went to lots of places, the lunch mezze was really lovely. Thank you for a really enjoyable day.

    Absolutely wonderful tour. Our guide Kim was fabulous. Her knowledge about this beautiful island poured from her effortlessly. She was very friendly and helpful. Our driver Panos was courteous, polite and friendly. I just wished we had a bit of free time to stop and browse the shops in the villages we visited. Meze lunch was delicious at Panorama. 10/10 highly recommend.

    Our tour guide Kim was really great. Full of local knowledge both factual & personal. The places visited on the tour were really interesting and beautiful, it was simply a great trip to get a look at Santorini villages, vistas & history. The meal at the end was a delight. I would happily recommend this trip to friends.
