Top 10 Day Trips from in Fira, South Aegean

November 23, 2021 Marianna Hollaway

The Greek island of Santorini is a blissful spot for a getaway, and its capital, Fira, is a vision of dramatic cliffs and pristine whitewashed buildings. The Archaeological Museum contains Minoan artifacts from Fira’s ancient foundations, while several churches and monasteries offer a glimpse into the historical and contemporary religious make up of this beautiful village. Exploring the shops and cafes along Fira’s narrow footpaths is a leisurely way to spend an afternoon.

Our guide was great as we scheduled easy pick up and drop off locations. Each winery had a different feel as they were located in different parts of southern Santorini. Tour was finished off with Venetsanos winery which was located in the cliffs overlooking the caldera. We would recommend.

Amani was a wonderful guide - she strikes the right balance and was very good a meeting our wishes - she brought us to small passages in Oia and also in remote villages which are less touristic. She knows Santorini inside out and is full of positive energy . We were with our 6 year old daughter and she was perfect to connect with her , even prepared a small book about the history of the caldera and the volcano for our daughter . She speakers French as well so don't hesitate to book her for a private tour . As we were interested to have family photos in the beautiful scenery of Santorini we booked a photographer that came with us on the tour to take shots. Ask for MELINA KATRI . She is the photographer that came with us and did great shots .

Our day started by going to the wrong pick up location (My fault completely). Our tour guide was so accommodating when I called to see about our pick up, his response was, "No problem, I'll be there in just a few minutes" My boyfriend and I could not rave about this tour anymore! Highly highly recommend! We were lucky and got to be the only ones on the tour, so we got what felt like the full VIP treatment. Our tour guide was so friendly and knowledgeable and really made an effort to explain the history of every stop we made and even acted as our very own photographer at many of the stops. Highly recommend taking this tour if you visit the island of Santorini, you will not be disappointed. I can honestly say this tour was an experience of a lifetime and something I will never forget.

Had a great trip. The food served was excellent for this type of trip. Barbecued prawns and Greek salad plus a few extra options. The views on the trip were excellent and the crew were amazing. Our original trip was cancelled due to some thunderstorms but the team helped us fit the trip in before our flight which was hugely appreciated and the kind of customer service which makes it an easy trip to recommend.
