Designed exclusively for cruise ship guests, this private experience combines flexibility, comfort and Santorini’s most iconic locations in one seamless journey.
Choose the arrival option that suits you best, travel at your own pace in a private vehicle and enjoy a personalized itinerary with photo stops, local insights and spectacular views across the island.
No large groups, no fixed schedules—just your own private Santorini experience, carefully planned around your cruise visit and guaranteed return to your ship.
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
Your private tour offers two convenient meeting options:
• Standard Meeting: Meet your driver at the upper cable car station in Fira, where they will be waiting with a sign displaying your name.
• Optional Boat Transfer: Guests who select the boat transfer option will receive detailed meeting instructions by email after booking.
Please note that most cruise ships arrive at the Old Port of Fira, which is not accessible by vehicle. To reach the meeting point, you will need to take the cable car up to Fira town.
Your driver will be waiting at the top, holding a sign with your name.
We strongly recommend taking an early tender boat to avoid long waiting times at the cable car.
If your cruise ship arranges tender service directly to Athinios Port, we can also arrange pick-up from there upon request.
Itinerary
-
1Oia
The first stop is Santorini’s most iconic village. Walk through the narrow pathways, admire the blue-domed churches, and take in the sweeping caldera views that have made Oia one of the most photographed places in the world.
1 hour • Admission ticket free -
2Three Bells of Fira
A short drive south leads to Firostefani, home to the Three Bells of Fira — one of the most recognizable images of Santorini. The volcano sits directly in the background, making this one of the best viewpoints on the island.
15 minutes • Admission ticket free -
3Monastery of Profitis Ilias
The tour concludes at the island’s highest point. From the monastery of Prophet Elias, the view stretches across the entire island — a completely different perspective of Santorini that most visitors never see.
20 minutes • Admission ticket free -
4Megalochori
Away from the caldera and the crowds, Megalochori offers a quieter, more authentic glimpse of island life. Narrow alleys, whitewashed houses, and a relaxed pace that feels a world away from the tourist trail.
30 minutes • Admission ticket free -
5Red Beach
One of Santorini’s most striking natural landmarks, the Red Beach owes its dramatic appearance to the island’s volcanic past. Capture the scenery from above — the combination of red and black rock against the deep blue sea is unlike anything else on the island.
