Next, the medieval village of Pyrgos features as a key stop. Known as Pyrgos Kallistis, this part of the tour focuses on the best-preserved medieval settlement. The village retains an unhurried, graceful atmosphere and offers a glimpse into Santorini’s historical architecture and narrow, winding streets.

Take in the Views from the Monastery of Profitis Ilias

This stop lasts about 30 minutes, giving ample time to admire the scenery and snap photos. The climb and walk are manageable for most, and the free access makes it a worthwhile visual highlight.

Relax on the Black Sands of Perivolos Beach

A visit to Perivolos Beach offers a chance to enjoy Santorini’s iconic black sand. Situated on the southeastern coast, around 12 km from Fira, this beach is close to other popular sites and offers a relaxed environment.

Over 30 minutes, visitors can take in the scenic coastline and enjoy the beach vibe. It’s a great spot for casual strolls, quick swims, or simply soaking up the sun while appreciating the volcanic landscape that defines Santorini’s beaches.

Marvel at the Reddish Rocks of Red Beach

Another highlight is Red Beach, famous for its vertical volcanic cliffs and reddish pebbles. The striking landscape draws many visitors for photos, swimming, or renting a canoe or sea bicycle.

This 30-minute stop allows guests to witness the island’s volcanic origins firsthand. The wild scenery and the opportunity to swim in the calm waters make it a memorable part of the day, though the pebble beach may require water shoes for comfort.

Indulge in Wine Tasting at Santo Wines

A key feature of this tour is the 45-minute wine tasting session at Santo Wines. Recognized by Wine Enthusiast Magazine as a top spot, it offers a chance to sample local wines while enjoying spectacular sunset views over the caldera.

While the wine tasting itself is not included in the price, visiting this renowned winery provides a delicious and scenic experience. The setting is ideal for relaxing and soaking in the island’s viticulture heritage.

Experience the Aegean View from Imerovigli

The village of Imerovigli is known as one of the most picturesque locations in Santorini. Sitting atop a cliff, it offers breathtaking views of the sea, caldera, and volcano.

Guests typically spend about 30 minutes wandering through the charming streets and stopping for photos. The village’s cliffside setting makes it a perfect spot for appreciating Santorini’s dramatic landscape.

Visit the Iconic Village of Oia

No tour of Santorini is complete without a stop at Oia, often called the most postcard-perfect village on the island. Famous for whitewashed buildings, blue-domed churches, and spectacular sunsets, Oia is a must-see.
