What to expect

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.

Santorini Photo Tour

Pick-up any picture of Greece and it's likely Santorini will be staring back at you. And for good reason, too – its skyline of whitewashed houses and blue-domed churches practically beg to be an Instagram post. Fill up your social media feed with a tour of the island's most scenic spots.Saying Santorini is easy-on-the-eye is an understatement – she's drop-dead gorgeous. Camera at the ready, you'll swing by Pyrgos first, the former capital. Snap a few selfies with sugar-cube houses, neo-classical mansions and narrow lanes twisting up to a Venetian castle which offers up knockout views. Peer through the natural rock-window known as the Heart of Santorini and grab wow-factor shots of the dinky chapel here that sits on the Aegean Sea. Finally, it's on to Oia – the place you'll see on all the postcards. Perched on a clifftop, the village serves up amazing vistas over the volcanic caldera, making it the perfect spot for a photo finish to your day.
