Once you've been warmly welcomed from your cruise port, port, or airport, prepare to explore the enchanting Oia Village. This charming traditional settlement is perched gracefully on the northern tip of the island, high above on the cliff-top. Meander through a delightful maze of quaint shops, cozy restaurants, and inviting cafes, all nestled among whitewashed houses carved into the cliffside. The iconic blue-domed churches and marble-stone alleys gleam in the sunlight, offering stunning views of the island and the caldera. 


On your journey to Oia or on your way back, enjoy a brief stop to capture unforgettable moments at Firostefani’s renowned blue dome church. Here, you can marvel at the whitewashed houses stretching along the reddish cliffs, overlooking the deep blue expanse of the Aegean Sea.


Let your friendly driver guide you next through the charming Pyrgos Village, ascending to the mountaintop of Profitis Elias. Reach its serene monastery at the island's highest point and soak in a breathtaking panoramic view that will surely touch your heart.


Continue your adventure with a visit to Akrotiri Village on the southwest coast. Not only does it offer some of the island's finest vistas reaching as far as Oia, but it also boasts cultural treasures like the Akrotiri Excavations, the Venetian Castle, the Akrotiri Lighthouse, and the captivating Red Beach. Journey to the southernmost tip of the Akrotiri peninsula, where one of Greece's oldest lighthouses stands proudly.


Upon your return to Akrotiri, take a moment to explore the archaeological site, stepping into the remarkable Pompeii of the Aegean, or make a brief photo-stop to admire the volcanic Red Beach with its striking red rock cliffs and serene blue-green waters.


As your day draws to a close, continue your journey to the east side of the island to visit the striking black-sand beach of Perissa. Here, you can indulge in a leisurely lunch, unwind, or enjoy a refreshing swim. If you wish, you can conclude your adventure with a final visit to a local winery before heading back.
