Your experience will start from the graphic village of Pyrgos, the highest village on the whole island, which is situated on the west coast of Santorini. Pyrgos was built in the 15th century by the Venetians, who occupied the area during that time, and holds one of the five castles of Santorini. Small stone-paved alleys, traditional houses, accordant to the Cycladic architecture, and old churches, set a beautiful peaceful scenery that will remind you of old times. Reach up to the ruins of the Venetian castle and get the best views of the island and the Aegean Sea, before heading to the historical site of Akrotiri. The Prehistoric City of Akrotiri is one of the most important historical sites of the Aegean, which is carefully preserved and has been organized in a way that allows visitors to walk through the ruins and meet the former glory of an ancient civilization (the entrance fee is not included in the price of the Semi-private bus tour).

Next follows a visit to the beautiful Vlychada Beach, a black beach formed under high white cliffs, which create a wild scenery that will surely fascinate you! Very close lies the vast black beach of Perivolos, with a length of 4 kilometers, where you will get to drive along the coast with the numerous beach bars and restaurants. A chance to admire the volcanic beauty of both beaches and feel the tranquil vibe of the sea!

As the tour continues, you will reach the traditional village of Megalochori, with the beautiful stone-built houses, the small squares with the local cafes, and the old churches, which create an amazing old-fashioned setting! Wander in the small streets and catch the most beautiful images before you continue on a journey of taste! The famous Santorini wine paired with the most delicious light lunch (small local dishes) awaits to be tasted at one of the finest wineries on the island, under the guidance and useful information provided by an expert sommelier. A wine-tasting experience and a journey through the history of the wine that will absolutely thrill you!

Last but not least, this experience will finish with a visit to stunning Oia village, on the north side of the island! You will have the chance to walk through its paths, explore the small local shops there, and take the most phenomenal photos of the village and the views of the Volcano and the unique Caldera! The small white houses built on the side of the wide cliffs, combined with the view of the Aegean Sea and the impressive Volcano, which lies in the middle, is like a beautiful postcard and you will be part of it!
