Itinerary

When booking, indicate your preferred departure point and time. Meet your private guide and depart in a private, air-conditioned tour vehicle for your first stop, the Prophet Elias, the island's highest mountain. Get panoramic views from the top and snap some memorable photos before exploring the inside of the Greek Christian monastery there. 

Journey to a traditional Greek winery at Venetsanos, where you can learn the secrets of winemaking and taste the local wines grown in the island's volcanic soil. Make a stop at the famous Blue Dome Church (Church of Panagia), which makes for dramatic photos. Then head for the village of Imerovigli to see the caldera and the rock of Skaros, with views over the village of Oia.

Our tour guide Arturo was the best. He was courteous and very informative. His vehicle was clean and kept cool so we were very comfortable. He showed us so many beautiful sites. I would highly recommend him for other tourists.
