Some of Santorini's best sights are lined up in this afternoon trip which includes the ancient village of Mesa Gonia, Pyrgos at the highest point on the island and beautiful Oia – one of the most photographed places in Greece.

First up is Mesa Gonia. This tiny village is the oldest on the island and is surrounded by vineyards. From there, you'll drive to Pyrgos, Santorini's former capital. This pretty place is all sugar-cube houses, neo-classical mansions and narrow lanes twisting up to a Venetian castle, which offers up fabulous island views.

Afterwards, you'll get to sample some local wines in a secluded spot with sea views, before heading for Santorini's star turn – Oia. Perched on a clifftop, this hip-and-happening whitewashed village serves up amazing views over the caldera, making it the perfect spot to catch a blazing Greek sunset. It's spectacular stuff.

It is sold as an island tour. We first go wine tasting which is not at a winery? Then we go to a goast town which is now being redeveloped however felt it was the guides chance to visit the pub for an hour. 10 min walk and then meet in the bar. Then we go to highest town which is nice but then we meet in bar and finally to the best part which was excellent. Worth visiting, good guide telling you where to see sun set however again suggested we meet in bar. Then guide asked twice for tip!!!

Really good tour couldn’t fault it. Definitely recommend.

Wine tasting ok , Ely more like being dumped in a room , taste these then buy some , no field to see? No orchards Second part was disgraceful, waste of time , some parts very dangerous on the walk , absolutely get rid of this part of the tour , spend more time on the two main sections . I can’t believe in 2026 you took us to such a dump , holes in the ground covered by pallets , a very dodgy walk way bridge Value for money , not far of getting a taxi their and back so not bad

The tour guide was good, however there was no prior warning for persons that I could see struggling with the walking, up steps etc.

Maggie was absolutely fantastic

Enjoyed the tour overall. Wasn’t much to see in mesa gonia and cafe didn’t have air con on. Wine tasting was good. Guide v knowledgeable and gave good tips. Driver on way back to Kamari had window open so air con wasn’t working properly.
