About this activity

The ideal Shore Excursion for cruise passengers!

This 5-hour tour showcases Santorini’s top destinations and authentic villages.

Your experience begins in Firostefani, home to the famous blue-domed church, one of the island’s most photographed landmarks.

Continue to Finikia, a quiet, hidden gem, away from the crowds, offering breathtaking views that will enchant you.

Next you’ll visit Oia, Santorini’s top destination, where you’ll have free time to admire the characteristic blue domes, wander around the traditional alleys and relax with a drink overlooking the caldera.

After Oia, head south to the traditional village of Megalochori. Wander through narrow cobblestone streets, admire elegant neoclassical mansions, and learn about the island’s centuries-old winemaking traditions.

The final stop is the Black Beach of Perivolos, where you will have free time to swim in crystal-clear waters, relax under the sun, and enjoy a traditional Greek lunch overlooking the Aegean Sea.
