Tour description:

Your tour will start with a visit to our secret spot in Imerovigli where you can enjoy a double panoramic view of both the west and east sides of the island. Words cannot describe the beauty and the tranquility of this place.

Continue to a local Distillery-Museum. You will experience a represantation of local life in the past while you will also have the chance to see the traditional distillation method and taste local spirits like ouzo, tsikoudia, and classic liqueurs.

The next stop will be Emporio Village, a traditional settlement in the center of the southern part of the island. Start walking in the narrow alleys that lead you up to the castle and make you feel like you are in a maze.

Continue to the lighthouse of Akrotiri, one of the oldest lighthouses in Greece built in 1892. This is the perfect spot to relish the endless blue of the Aegean Sea.

It’s time for dinner and we know the place that you will love and will not want to leave.

This family-run tavern is right on the water and will give you the local feeling you are seeking.

Enjoy delicious local specialties (Santorinian salad, Fava, Tomatokeftedes, Fresh grilled fish, bread) accompanied by homemade wine in a peaceful and tranquil environment. This might just be the best dinner of your trip.

After our favorite tavern, it’s time to show you our favorite spot for the sunset. Far from crowds, the ‘Heart of Santorini’ is the perfect place to enjoy a peaceful sunset. A small complimentary bottle of wine will make the experience even better.
