This private tour goes past the postcard crowds of Oia to the quieter side of Santorini: the caldera-edge viewpoints, a tasting at a family winery of the island's volcanic Assyrtiko wines, and the old inland villages of Pyrgos and Megalochori. Your driver-guide sets the pace, and the day is timed to your ship's last tender. It suits travellers who have seen the highlights before, or who want wine, views and village lanes instead of a rush around the top sights. Total time is about 6 hours from the Old Port tender.

Santorini is more than Oia. This private day trades the busiest viewpoints for the island’s volcanic wine country and its old inland villages, at a pace you set with your guide. Expect caldera views without the crush, a proper tasting of Assyrtiko and Vinsanto, and the quiet lanes of Pyrgos and Megalochori.
Santorini is a tender port, so we time the day to your ship’s last tender and keep a buffer for the cable-car queue down to the Old Port. Guaranteed return to your ship is in writing on every booking, with a full refund if your ship cannot anchor and tender.
Your guide meets you after the cable car up to Fira.
Photo stops along the caldera rim without the Oia queues.
Volcanic Assyrtiko and Vinsanto with caldera views.
The old capital, its castle ruins and panoramic terrace.

Cancellation: Free cancellation up to 48 hours before your port date. Full refund if your ship cannot dock.
