Stop At: Red Beach, Akrotiri Greece
Red beach that it is arguably one of the most famous and beautiful beaches of Santorini. It is located only some steps away from the ancient site of Akrotiri.
The small size of the beach creates a much crowded atmosphere and there are many days where most of the visitors choose not to make it all the way down to the beach and instead admire this unique landscape of red and black volcanic rocks from the headland.
Duration: 30 minutes
Stop At: Perissa Black Sand Beach, Perissa 847 03 Greece
Black beach is a beautiful beach situated 15 km southeast of Fira extending for 7 km on the southeastern side of Santorini.
The beach features unique charateristics, black sand, crystalline waters and various beach facilities.
However, the enormous rock called Mesa Vouno that rises from the sea is the main attraction of the beach and the entire area. Visitors are left spellbound by the stunning view of the rock especially when it shines in the dark.
Perissa is a nice tourist resort witnessing a huge tourist movement that starts from in the middle of the summer season.
The village offers a great variety of hotels for all tastes and budgets, restaurants, taverns, cafes and bars.
The area is extremely developed with modern amenities and quite inviting while retaining its strong traditional character.

Kamari. The Mountain’s name is ProfitisIlias (Prophet Elijah), coming from the
Monastery with the same name on its peak. From this vantage point, you will
enjoy a striking view of the entire island, from the patchwork agricultural plains to the hilltop village of Oia.
The Monastery was built in 1712. The walls round the Monastery remind of a
fortress. The history of ProfitisIlias is long and very importand for the life of
Santorini during the centuries. In earlier times, owned its’ own ship which
conducted private business for the benefit of the monastery and at the same time the Monastery was an active intellectual and patriotic influence. From 1806 to 1845 it ran a school where the Greek language and literature were taugh.
The monastery’s decline began in 1860; buildings suffered serious damage in the 1956 earthquakes. The monastery today has an important collection of icons and bibles, and artefacts of the Greek Orthodox religion, ecclesiastical objects, books and ethnographic material. It also hosts displays on shoemaking, printing, candle making, wine making and of typical local food.

Stop At: Skaros Rock, Imerovigli Greece
Next stop, Immerovigli that it is a picturesque village. It is situated at the north
of Santorini, only 2 km away from the capital of Fira. It is a continuation of Fira
and one of the most beautiful balconies of the island. The name of Imerovigli
comes from the word vigla which means view spot.
The position of the village provides a clear view of the caldera, and during the old times it allowed villagers to see the pirate ships approaching. Today, Immerovigli is one of the recognized traditional settlements.
Hotels and traditional houses are plentiful in Imerovigli. There are also many taverns and cafes with stunning views to the caldera. In front of Immerovigli lies an enormous rock called Scaros.On top of it is a castle that was built during the 13th century but it was bandoned in the early 1800s.
The castle housed all the administrative offices of the island. This part of the island collapsed after an earthquake, and only the huge hill of Scaros is left today.
Immerovigli has numerous chapels and churches built on the rocks overlooking the blue sea. The village is known as the ultimate romantic destination.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Three Bells of Fira, Fira 847 00 Greece
Fira is the capital of Santorini. On the caldera side you get one of the best views of the island and the activity level is enough to keep you entertained for hours. There are cafes, bars, restaurants, the most of them with view of caldera and some with several levels of patios and balconies to make the most of the space they have and the fact that when there are several cruise ships sitting below the town is packed with tourists.
If you enjoy shopping or eating or drinking or hanging out and watching the view then, Fira is worth visiting for a few hours in the day or evening.
The port of Fira below is where the cruise ships anchor and the tenders come and get the passangers and take them to the small port where they have three choices. The first choice, and maybe the most sensible one is to take the cable-car.
The second choice is to go up by donkey, which is what a lot of people end up having to do because they promised their kids that they would do this to get them excited about coming to Santorini.
The third choice is to walk which is done only by people who are in terrific shape and like a challenge or have something to prove.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Oia's Main Street, Greece
The natural beauty of Oia village in combination with its traditional architecture which consists of white washed houses, old mansions where captains used to live, narrow streets and blue domed churches, make this village unique thus extremely popular to the visitors.
Photos and postal cards with the sunset of Oia, the caldera view and the churches with the blue domes have travelled all over the world advertising the incomparable beauty of the village and making even more people wishing to visit it!
Duration: 1 hour 40 minutes

We arrived on a cruise ship which starts with a tinder to shore. Then you have to buy a ticket on the tram up to town or a ticket to ride a donkey up to town. We chose the tram. The you walk through town to meet your guide. Our driver and guide for the day was Sofia. She was amazing she drove us all over the island to see things we asked to see and others she thought we would enjoy. We had a delicious lunch on the beach with her enjoying the views and local fare. Traffic was crazy and upon arriving back at the tram the line was so long to buy tickets we had to walk down the long path avoiding donkey sh*t to make our tinder back to the ship. All in all a great day and a great driver/guide.Fabulous experience Panos of Baikas Travel showed us Santorini in style and with professionalism.
