We traveled from one end of the island to the other. Wewanted to walk part of the way to Oia from the funicularand our guide let us off the minibus and pick us up at the end of the trail. We then visited Oia, ate a very good gyro, went to a winery and drove to the other end of the island near the lighthouse.
The driver cum guide Mr George is outstanding. Very lively,lots of knowledge and ability to convey in a very interesting manner. Not a minute of boredom in 8 hours.
We had our day tour with George, who was so knowledgeable and sweet! We really enjoyed seeing Emporio, Oia and Akrotiri. The Venetsanos winery was wonderful and we learned so much about the unique vineyards of Santorini. It was a very good tour to have on our first full day on the island because we learned of all the information and highlights of Santorini, which helped us revisit areas that we wanted to see more of on our own time. Also, George has some great photography skills we must say! He was so sweet to offer to take our photos throughout the tour. Thanks George for such a great tour!
