Santorini Small Group Photo Tour

Saying Santorini is easy-on-the-eye is an understatement – she's drop-dead gorgeous. Grab your camera and fill up your social media feed with a tour of the island's most scenic spots. And as group sizes are kept small, there'll be no jostling to get the best shots.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. 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 by 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.

Greece

Things to do in Santorini

Santorini is one of the most popular destinations in Greece – and for good reason. Its cliff-perched villages of whitewashed homes and blue-domed churches overlooking a volcanic caldera enjoy front-row seats to one of the world’s most famous sunsets. From tours of archaeological excavations to family-run vineyards, there are many things to do and see in Santorini. Top six things to do in Santorini 1. Explore the villages of Oia and Thira A day trip to Thira, the capital of Santorini, is a must when visiting the island. Wandering down its narrow alleys of whitewashed houses and dinky Orthodox churches to the harbour at the bottom of the cliffs is a wonderfully atmospheric experience. Oia is another picture-postcard village. It’s famed for the kaleidoscopic sunsets that you can witness from its terraces and rooftops. If you’re feeling adventurous and have a craving for dramatic vistas, follow the 9km walking route between the two villages. It’s a blockbuster. 2. Take a boat trip around the island Like any island, Santorini deserves to be explored by sea. A boat trip or catamaran cruise will give you an alternative view of its natural beauty. The caldera, formed by multiple volcanic eruptions, offers a spectacular setting with colourful rock formations, sea-plunging cliffs and whitewashed villages. And best of all, you’ll get to jump into the caldera for a swim. To admire the red-hued sunset that Santorini is world-famous for, book a late afternoon cruise. 3. Admire the Minoan excavations of Akrotiri If you like history, then an excursion to Akrotiri ticks all the boxes. This archaeological site is often compared to Pompeii in Italy. It was a Minoan port city that was destroyed by a volcanic eruption in the 16th century BC. Its remains were discovered in 1867, and since then it has been one of the most important sites in Greece. The excavation is ongoing, and you can admire what has already been uncovered from the vantage point of wooden walkways. The fragile frescoes offer an invaluable window into ancient Greece. 4. Discover the volcanic Kameni Islands Volcanic eruptions over the centuries caused part of the island to disappear below sea level, leaving a caldera of rugged islets. A boat trip around these islands is one of the most popular excursions in Santorini. On Nea Kameni, you can hike up to the volcano's crater while admiring the moon-like landscapes and views. While in Palea Kameni, you can swim in the mineral-rich waters with temperatures up to 35°C. 5. Relax on the most beautiful beaches of Santorini Red beach, so-called because of the crimson rock in the background, is one of the most popular beaches in Santorini. It’s short and narrow, so get there early. Monolithos beach is ideal for families with young children. The water slopes down very gradually, so they can enjoy playing in the water. And if you want some action, try one of the many water activities such as jet-skiing, diving and stand-up paddle. 6. Visit the vineyards Due to the special weather conditions and the volcanic soil, Santorini has some of Europe’s oldest vines – up to 150 years old. What’s more, the stems have a special shape. To protect the bunches of grapes from the strong wind and bright sun, they are woven into a kind of basket so that they remain close to the ground. These vineyards are among the most popular sights on Santorini. Visit the Argyros Estate or the Boutari vineyard to learn more about wine production followed by a tasting. In restaurants, keep an eye out for local dishes such as fava, a creamy purée made from yellow split peas, and apochti, an air-dried pork loin. And make sure to taste local honey and chlorotyri goat’s cheese. It’s unique to Santorini.
