Full-day Sightseeing land tour in Santorini with sunset in Oia

Megalochori

This picturesque village is a nice example of traditional well-preserved settlement in Santorini. You can admire the old vineyards, the cobble-stoned streets, the houses and mansions abandoned after the earthquake of 1956 and then renovated, the doors of the houses painted in beautiful colours, the old-style coffee shop and restaurants in the central square of the village.

Megalochori combines the white Cycladic houses with doors painted in vivid colours and white old churches with blue domes and elaborate belfries.

Pyrgos Village

Pyrgos is located on the foothills of Prophet Elias mountain. Houses with traditional architecture, narrow streets featuring medieval – labyrinthine architecture, fortified walls and hidden passages, old churches, eye-catching sunsets, all of the above can be found in Pyrgos village.

Pyrgos used to be the capital of Santorini in the past and now it is one of the most well-preserved villages on our island.

Perissa – Perivolos Beach

Now it’s time for lunch by the sea and free time at the black beach of Perissa and Perivolos!

This is the most popular beach in Santorini, yet preserving its unique character with black sand, crystal-clear waters, and various beach facilities and water sports.

Prophet Elias Mountain – Monastery

On Prophet Elias mountain, you can enjoy the view of Santorini from the highest point of the island!

Blue Dome

The natural beauty of the caldera along with the view of the volcano view makes an impressive scenery. Here you have a perfect chance to take pictures of the most famous church of Santorini which is presented in many documents and brochures all over the world!

Imerovigli Village

Imerovigli has been built on the rim of the caldera cliffs and offers a brilliant view to the volcano, the Aegean Sea and the sunset!

A nice attraction of this village is an imposing rock called Skaros which lies on the seaward side of the village. In the past, that was one of the five fortresses of Santorini and the most important one. The inhabitants of Skaros were able to observe the sea all around Santorini providing security from pirates.

Oia Village – Sunset

Oia is a place for enjoying a breathtaking sunset and one of the most beautiful ones all over the earth, where all visitors gather in the streets, stairs, and rooftops to watch it.

Also, the famous churches with blue domes can be found on the cliffs of Caldera of Oia. You will be walking in the narrow streets of Oia and getting lost in the little alleys of it.

Our tour will end after we will have watched the sunset.
