What's included in Private Santorini Day Tour & Native Driver
(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Firostefani
(Optional) Firostefani offers the same breathtaking view of the Caldera as from the capital. Still, in a quieter and more relaxed atmosphere, this makes it a great option to stay, as it is only a 15-minute walk from the center of Fira, meaning you can plunge into the nightlife from the central city. But still, get some peace. The coastal path between Firostefani and Fira is a beautiful and popular walk, especially in the early morning or evening when it is not too hot. There are many restaurants, bars, and shops in the village itself, mainly along the main street, so even if you don't plan to leave the resort, you have everything you need right on the doorstep; it would be a little vain to have Fira so close and not go there at least once. We recommend Firostefani to couples who want to visit the Caldera but also want a quiet and relaxing holiday. However, it is unsuitable for children, as it is a 20-minute drive from the beach, and toddlers have little entertainment.
Imerovigli
Since the time of Byzantium, Imerovigli, one of the most impressive villages of Santorini, has stood on the highest point of the caldera. It is believed that the early settlement of Skaros was built in 1207 by the Venetian James Varotsi, who was granted Santorini after the conquest of Constantinople by the Crusaders in 1204. The modern village towers over an impressive volcano about 300 meters above sea level. It is about 2 km northwest of Fira on the road to Oia. In addition to the paved road, the village is connected to the capital of Santorini by a path offering endless views of the unique volcanic landscape. Today, Imerovigli is one of the most developed tourist destinations in Santorini, with first-class hotels, restaurants, and other shops. Tens of thousands of people visit it worldwide every year.
Oia
Go first to the island's northern part and embrace the best of Oia village. It is unique, with the most spectacular sunset (afternoon), iconic blue domes of churches, and panoramic views. One of the most photographed places in Greece, Oia is located on top of an impressive cliff and offers spectacular views of the volcano.
