Top 10 Private Tours in Cyclades, South Aegean
The Cyclades is a group of Greek islands with beautiful, white sandy beaches, rugged mountains and lush valleys. Glamorous Santorini and Mykonos attract the jetset, while lesser-known isles, such as Milos and Naxos, are the perfect places for beach lovers. Ruins, including the 11th-century Dorian settlement and volcanic ash-preserved Ancient Akrotiri in Santorini, amaze those with a bent for ancient history. Sifnos' cuisine wins it admirers. Hydrofoils, ferries and catamarans connect the islands.

Aris has been so amazing with helping me with my booking alteration during the COVID-19 (coronavirus) crisis. He is very reasonable and understanding of the situation. As soon as I can, I will rebook my trip with him, because of his kindness and professionalism. Looking forward to coming to Mykonos once the world is better :) You are in excellent hands with this company. I highly recommend them.

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.

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.

For my 35th birthday this september I reserached and researched the web to find the best cruise to take with my friends for an sunset experience. After thoughtfully comparing all the companies I decided to contact and book with Ari. They have been so service minded, responded quickly, listened to my wishes and found solutions. I was so much looking forward to this trip! However Covid-19 happened and unfortunately I had to cancel the trip to Greece and therefore contacted Ari again. Once again, even though they are suffering from these hard times and cancelled trips, they showed me nothing but understanding, service minded and fast replies again. We were able to find a solution and even though we are not coming this year, I am certain that when (not if) Im actually able to go to Mykonos I will book a cruise with them. Loyalty and high service is very important to me, therefor I would personally really recommend them. Best of luck, I hope to see you soon!

We booked a full day 9 hour cruise for our family of 6 adults and it was the highlight of our Santorini holiday! The trip was tailored to suit our requests, Panos the skipper was amazing, making sure we were safe when on board and in the water and provided local knowledge and history of the places we visited. Yanis treated us like royalty filling our glasses with wine and water, helping us in and out of the boat and making sure we were all pampered! The boat is large enough to comfortably take 6 adults and we had full use of it. The food served was delicious and freshly made. We went snorkelling, walked up the volcano at our request, swam in the hot springs, saw all the local sights Red Bay, White Bay and saw the best Santorini sunset together as a family from the boat. I would definitely recommend the trip to anyone. Thank you for such a wonderful day!

We booked a private tour as had teenagers and also an autistic son who would not have coped with an organised public tour. From the initial contact with Kallisti Private Tours we had every confidence we had made a good choice. Their communication was efficient throughout. Theodore was friendly and discussed with us what we would like to see, planning a personalised tour with us before we started the day. He took us to places we would never have discovered on our own. His knowledge of Santorini and its history was second to none and we could spend as much or little time in the comfortable air conditioned vehicle as required. Cold bottled water was provided all day. The views he showed us were stunning and there were plenty of photo opportunities and toilet breaks as required. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending this Tour in order to see the entire island with a good English speaking guide with so much local, geographical and historical knowledge. Real quality.
