10 Walking Tours in Santorini That You Shouldn't Miss

September 1, 2021 Frederic Celentano

Even if you’ve never been to this Cyclades island in the Aegean Sea, you’d still recognize it immediately – candy-colored houses carved into cliffs, sapphire waters, gleaming white buildings topped with half-spheres the color of a stormy sky. Here you’ll find peace as you roam the black sand beaches or the streets of a provincial village like Imerovigli. Beautiful Oia is world famous for its sunsets, which seem tinted with every shade of an artist’s palette.

We will confess that we did not take the tour, we were on a cruise and did not attempt to schedule any outside activities. That said, we were in a restaurant on two separate days when Aristotle brought in a group and ordered wine and tomato fritters for them. He was charming and knowledgeable so we asked for his card, if/when we return, we will look him up and book a tour. His web site offers very detailed information for those wanting to gauge whether this tour is for them.

we booked this for the black sand beach stop, Akrotiri, winery and monastery. the view stops at the beginning were actually right next to our hotel so we had the privelige to those views on our stay. the big coach bus is PACKED when you are all on and the island is windy, highly recommend bringing medicine if you get nauseous easily. the guides were sweet and kind and helped navigate large groups well. i am grateful for them taking us around their island. we passed on the last Oia stop as our hotel sunset view was just as good if not BETTER for the lack of people. this coach bus tour is a great way to view the island in a short period and to see the big sites! if you have time to spend on the different beaches beyond the tour i recommend! overall this tour was good and worth the money, they do offer hotel pick up and dropoff which is nice!

I used Notos travel for the transport from Santorini Airport to Perissa. Actually I booked with Holiday taxi but the shuttle was arranged by this local travel agency. The service was reliable and hassle free. As the transfer from JTR airport by bus is nit convenient due to bad bus timing. The driver helpful and friendly. The shuttle was bought just for me as a single person.
