Private Best of Santorini shore excursion

A full cruise day on Santorini with your own guide. We meet you at the Fira cable car and take care of the driving and the timing.

Your guide meets you at the top of the Fira cable car and stays with you all day. You travel in an air-conditioned minivan, and we plan the route around your ship, then take you back to meet it. The tour is private: the vehicle and guide are for your party only, so you can shape the route and the pace.

Oia is Santorini’s best-known village, on the northern tip of the caldera. Walk its whitewashed lanes, browse the shops and try a handmade ice cream. Then stop for photos at the Blue Dome Church in Firostefani, high above the sea, and drive up past Pyrgos village to Profitis Ilias Monastery, the highest point of the island, with views over all of Santorini. Many of our guides are keen photographers and happy to take your picture.

At a local winery you see the vineyards, and you can book a tasting there if you like. Red Beach is framed by red lava cliffs above clear blue water. At the Black Beach you have time to swim, relax on the soft volcanic sand or have lunch, from fresh seafood to traditional dishes.

The tour lasts 6 hours. You choose the start time when you book, so the tour ends at least 2 hours before all-aboard. Your guide is a local who lives on the island and speaks English, German, Spanish, French, Italian or Russian.

Back in time for your ship: we get you back to the cable car in time for your tender. If your ship can’t stop at Santorini, you get a full refund.

Price: from EUR 350 for 2 guests.
