The tour begins with pickup from the cruise port, hotel, or airport and travels in a comfortable air-conditioned vehicle equipped with onboard Wifi. Visitors first spend about an hour in Oia's Main Street, walking marble streets lined with shops, galleries, and cafes, viewing blue-domed churches, and seeing views of the caldera, volcano, and Aegean Sea. The tour continues with stops at famous photographic spots like the Blue Dome churches and the Three Bells Church in Firostefani, where panoramic views stretch from Imerovigli to Oia. The private vehicle follows the Fira to Oia trail, passing hidden viewpoints without the need for hiking. In Megalochori, guests spend about 30 minutes exploring a traditional village with 17th-century cave houses. From Pyrgos Kallistis outskirts, the guide points out the blue domes and white houses on the island’s central hill. The route includes a 20-minute stop at Red Beach on the southwest coast, noted for red lava cliffs meeting emerald waters. An optional visit to the Akrotiri Archaeological Site is available but requires an extra admission fee. The tour then moves east to Perissa Black Sand Beach, where visitors have about an hour to rest, swim, or eat lunch. There is also an optional stop at Santo Wines winery for a tasting or tour. The itinerary is flexible and can be adjusted to add or omit locations based on guest preferences. Entrance fees to wineries and museums are not included, and arrangements can be made for cable car use if needed.
