    About the ride

    Begin your day with a warm welcome from your English-speaking driver, who will pick you up from your accommodation in a comfortable, air-conditioned private vehicle. This fully customizable sightseeing ride offers the perfect balance of history, nature, and local culture, all set against the stunning backdrop of Santorini’s southern coast.

    - Fully Customizable & Private – Discuss your itinerary and stops with your driver, and if time isn’t enough, you can ask them to extend the ride directly from their app.

    - Pickup and dropoff from a professional English-Speaking driver.

    Your first stop is the 2Akrotiri Archaeological Site, one of Greece’s most fascinating ancient cities. Preserved under layers of volcanic ash for centuries, Akrotiri offers a rare look into Minoan life before the catastrophic eruption that reshaped the island. Walk along paved streets, peek into multi-story houses, and admire original frescoes and pottery that have survived for over 3,500 years. With each step, you’ll be transported back to a time of advanced urban planning, artistry, and trade.

    Next, take in the island’s raw beauty at 3Red Beach, where dramatic crimson cliffs tower over a narrow stretch of dark volcanic sand. The contrast of red rock against the turquoise waters of the Aegean makes this a true visual marvel and a must-see for every visitor. It’s the perfect spot to pause, reflect, and capture some stunning photos.

    Continue to the [ride_stop4:], located at Santorini’s southwestern tip. Built in 1892 and still operational today, the lighthouse sits atop rugged cliffs with sweeping views across the caldera and out to sea. It’s a serene stop to appreciate the island’s natural beauty and feel the refreshing breeze of the open Aegean.

    Your final stop is the picturesque village of 5Megalochori Village, one of Santorini’s most authentic and peaceful settlements. Wander through its maze of whitewashed alleys, past blue-domed churches, neoclassical mansions, and quaint courtyards draped in bougainvillea. Take time to enjoy a coffee at a local kafeneio, visit a historic wine cellar, or simply soak in the timeless atmosphere of a village that still moves to a traditional rhythm.

    Throughout the day, your driver will share local insights, tailor the itinerary to your pace and preferences, and make sure your journey is both informative and relaxing. Whether you’re a lover of history, a seeker of breathtaking views, or someone who enjoys discovering local traditions, this southern Santorini adventure offers a deeper look into the island’s soul—beyond the postcards and into the heart of its heritage.

    At the end of your memorable day, your driver will take you back to your hotel, leaving you with a camera full of beautiful images and a heart full of Santorini’s timeless magic.

    Frequently asked questions
    Expand

    Can I customize the tour based on my needs?

    Of course, that is one of the main benefits of having a Welcome experience. You can customize every last bit of the experience, from points of visit to time spent per landmark to adding in an extra food stop.

    What happens after I book?

    Once you complete your booking you will receive a confirmation email. Feel free to reach out to our customer service team at [email protected] for any specific questions regarding your booking.

    What is the cancellation policy?

    Any cancelation that is requested up to 24 hours prior to the operation time is entitled to a refund of 80%  

    In case of cancellation in less than 24 hours prior to the operation time or in case of no-show of the customer, you are not eligible for any form of refund. 

    Will there be an official tour guide?

    An official tour guide is not included because the overall experience is centered around the driver and the local’s perspective. Although the drivers are very knowledgeable regarding the points of visit, at no point can they be compared with a licensed tour guide who can give more in depth information regarding historic facts and information. If you would like to include an official tour guide in the experience please let us know via email after the booking is completed.

    Good to know?

    Please note that the Welcome Drivers are not licensed to be your official tour guide at the local attractions and therefore will not accompany you into the sites. You may, however, hire a professional tour guide at an extra cost.

    Your Welcome Driver will provide you with their local knowledge and personal recommendations between stops. Since your safety is Welcome’s top priority, please refrain from distracting the driver during demanding driving conditions.

    Your Welcome Driver will drop you off and pick you up as close as possible to your stop whilst always respecting local traffic laws.

    Can this Sightseeing Ride start and finish at my cruise ship port?

    Absolutely! All our private Sightseeing Rides can start and end right at your cruise ship port. Your driver will be waiting at the arrival area holding a sign with your name, and we always ensure you’re back well before your ship departs — completely stress-free! Just make sure to leave your cruise ship’s name in the comments section when booking, so we can track the correct port for pickup.

    Important Note for Old Port of Fira:If your ship arrives at the Old Port of Fira, you’ll first need to take the cable car up to the main town. After a short 2-minute walk, your driver will meet you at the designated pickup point.

    Can I bring my luggage with me?

    Yes, you’re absolutely welcome to bring your luggage along during your experience. Just make sure to mention the number of suitcases in the notes section when booking. This helps us assign the right vehicle so everything fits comfortably and there are no issues on the day.
