    About the ride

    If you want an in-depth look at the most popular landmarks and historical sites in Santorini, and are looking to maximize your time in the city, then the ‘Best of Santorini’ is the one for you. At the beginning of the ride your Welcome driver will pick you up directly from your accommodation, and take you on your tailor-made journey through the most iconic, historically significant and beautiful sites in Santorini. Although your ride is completely customizable, and points of interest can be added or taken away, the following itinerary is one we suggest. 

    You will start at the fascinating Akrotiri Excavations, a prehistoric Bronze Age city that is said to be the inspiration behind the mysterious city of Atlantis. What makes this site so interesting is that a volcanic eruption, over 3600 years ago, covered the city of Akrotiri in ash, meaning everything was frozen in time at the exact moment the volcano erupted. At this site you will have the opportunity to take a journey into the past and see the magnificent wall paintings, elaborate drainage systems, and excavated furniture vessels of the former settlement.

    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!

    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.
