My Ultimate Full-Day Private Santorini Road Trip
Experience the charm of Santorini on a private tour to see its highlights. Traveling in a luxury, air-conditioned vehicle with an English-speaking driver you can explore the uniqueness of this Greek island by walking through the narrow streets of the traditional villages like Pyrgos, photographing the astonishing sunset of Oia, relaxing at the black sand beach or spending some time in Fira, the island’s capital, for shopping. The itinerary we have created for you has some of the places off-the-beaten-track but feel free to create your flexible route, through the stations we recommend, based on your interests.

(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Profitis Ilias
The tour begins with the visit of the highest spot of the island (567 meters) located between Pyrgos and Kamari. The Mountain's name, Profitis Ilias (Prophet Elijah), is coming from the Monastery with the same name on its peak. From this vantage point, you will enjoy a striking view of the entire island, from the patchwork agricultural plains to the hilltop village of Oia. The Monastery was built in 1712 and it always had a very important role for the life of Santorini during the centuries especially as an active intellectual and patriotic influence.
Pyrgos
Next stop the picturesque village of Pyrgos, built on the top of a hill, used to be until the early 1800 the capital of the island. The village is composed by traditional houses built around the Venetian Castle and small streets following the shape of the hill. The village has many churches, around 33 and it is the perfect example to admire a typical example of Cycladic Architecture: climbing from the square up to the castle of Pyrgos the stone houses crowd more densely together and the labyrinth of narrow vaulted lanes becomes more tortuous. You will have enough time to walk around the village.
Perivolos Beach
Drive to the southern part of the island and stop by the black sandy beach of Perivolos and have free time for lunch or swimming.
