Discover the charm, wonder and history of Santorini, one of the top destinations in the world, with Marinakis Tours. Let Marinakis Tours, which was founded in 2000, assist you in the most beautiful Santorini experience. Our staff can offer all the essentials of the perfect holiday: exceptional value for money, destination knowledge and attention to detail. The agency generously provides pick up from and to your cruise ship, the airport or your hotel. Let's get started!

Our journey begins from Fira or we may pick you up from your hotel or cruise ship and we stroll to discover the hidden gems of the caldera and take pictures. Afterwards, we proceed to visit the beautiful village of Firostefani where we will enjoy the caldera and admire the view of Therasia, a beautiful island and debris of the old Santorini, the Volcano, the mountain Skaros which is protected by UNESCO and the numerous blue-roofed churches. The journey continues to Imerovigli where we can see and take pictures of the caves, the place where the old inhabitants of the island used to live. Then, we head to the edge of Imerovigli to see the well-known Skaros, an UNESCO protected mountain that really floats in the air and take pictures of the region. On the way to Oia, we can witness red, black and yellow volcanic lava on the left side of the mini bus. On the right side we see the Caldera and the Aegean Sea and the second volcano of the island, Columbo, which is underwater. Visiting Oia, we see many old, blue-roofed traditional churches, old houses, traditional coffee shops, boutiques and art galleries and you get the chance to try a bite of the traditional Greek baklava as you drink your coffee. We head to the old Venetian Castle which is located on the edge of the island to admire the beautiful view of Oia and take some time to visit the local shops (optional choice). We head to the southern part of the island to see the following villages and the island's highest point, where the Prophet Elias Monastery is perched at almost 2,000 feet (600 m), enjoy the scenic view of the island and take photos for about 15'. Then we head to the village of Pyrgos where we will take a stroll to see the blue-roofed churches, the caves and the Venetian Castle for many amazing photos for about 30'. Then we visit Santo Wines, a traditional Santorini winery, and grasp the opportunity to sample the local wine. Afterwards we head to Akrotiri, a traditional village of 150 people where the well-known Red beach and the archaeological city are located (the archaeological sightseeing is optional). Then we head to Perissa, the most beautiful Black Beach in Europe and make a stop for some coffee, Greek lunch or a snack and swimming. After this marvelous tour, we get you back to your hotel or the destination of your choice.

Absolutely Amazing tour in Santorini !

Our tour date was Oct. 3, 2024. My husband arranged this tour through Marinakis Tours and found that communication/ response time was superior! Always returning text or emails/ What's Ap in a very timely manner. There were eight of us to go on this excursion and we all thought our Guide, ELECTRA was not only smart, informative but also a beautiful equestrian woman (she also leads horseback trail rides on the island.)... when we got off the cruise liner that morning, she was there to greet us at the top of the cable car landing. We traveled in style in a classy Mercedes Van and nicknamed our very quiet driver; "Bat Man" - because he had some superpower driving skills on those tiny roads! Electra showed us a map (I love the visual aids) of where we were and where we were headed. The streets of Santorini are abundant with many stores to shop, the history of Santorini is rich and interesting. Electra showed us many interesting sites; we stopped for wine and snacks on top of a hill with a breathtaking view, walked through a cave that now is a part of restaurant, had lunch by the ocean with quite a view also, Our tour ended after six hours and we were dropped off close by the cable cars to finish shopping and four of us decided to take the donkey trail on foot, DOWN the side of the mountain, what an experience ! This quaint little town has a magical attraction that we could see ourselves returning to spend more time enjoying! Our wonderful experience was thanks to our amazing guide Electra !
