Begin your day with pickup by a friendly English-speaking driver in a private, air-conditioned vehicle for a fully customizable ride through Santorini’s southern coast. Your first stop is the Akrotiri Archaeological Site, a remarkably preserved ancient Minoan city buried under volcanic ash. Walk its ancient streets and admire 3,500-year-old frescoes and pottery. Next, visit the stunning Red Beach, where dramatic red cliffs meet the deep blue Aegean—a perfect photo spot. Then head to the Lighthouse of Akrotiri (Faros), perched on the island’s southwestern tip, offering sweeping sea views and tranquil beauty. Finally, explore Megalochori, a peaceful village with winding alleys, blue-domed churches, and historic charm. Pause for coffee or a visit to a local wine cellar. Throughout the day, your driver offers local insights and tailors the trip to your pace. After a day of history, nature, and culture, you'll return to your hotel with unforgettable memories of Santorini.
