(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Santorini
Please note that while exploring the beautiful island of Santorini, travel time between our key stops is required. Santorini is a scenic island with stunning sights spread out across different locations, and we want to ensure you experience as much of it as possible. As we journey between these breathtaking destinations, some driving time is needed to comfortably transition from one stop to the next. This allows us to visit multiple iconic sites in one tour while ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience. Thank you for understanding, and we look forward to showing you the wonders of Santorini!
Three Bells of Fira
The Three Bells of Fira (also known as the Virgin Mary Catholic Church) is one of Santorini's most iconic landmarks, located in the heart of Fira, the island's capital. The church is renowned for its striking blue dome, traditional whitewashed walls, and three bell towers, which stand out against the stunning backdrop of the caldera and the Aegean Sea. Perched on a cliffside, it offers breathtaking panoramic views, making it a popular spot for visitors and photographers alike. The serene beauty of this church, combined with its picturesque setting, perfectly embodies the charm of Santorini.
Imerovigli
Imerovigli is a peaceful village perched on Santorini’s highest point, offering stunning caldera views and a quieter alternative to busier spots. Its iconic blue-domed Church of Anastasi is a hidden gem, perfect for those seeking tranquility and breathtaking scenery, especially during sunset. Ideal for a serene escape with fewer crowds.
