Private Full-Day Sightseeing Tour in Santorini with a Local
Overview
At the desired time, an experienced English-speaking professional driver will pick you up from your accommodation in a private vehicle ready to share historical facts, the necessary information about the sights and, of course, his personal input in order to immerse you into the Greek lifestyle.
Explore the beautiful village of Oia which is the most photographed region of Santorini. Famous for its traditional architecture and unbelievable sunsets, the village of Oia has been the inspiration for many artists and poets throughout the years. If you have time, be sure to check out the little stores and houses built into the niches of volcanic rock, and take in breathtaking views of the Aegean Sea.
