Overview

Explore the rich and fascinating history of Santorini on the traditional villages & Akrotiri tour and immerse yourself in the riveting past of the island without having to deal with the inconvenience of hiring guides and transportation.

Spend half a day discovering medieval structures, Ottoman towns, and weathered ruins spread out across the entire island – a testament to a bygone era. Explore the towns of Pyrgos (the oldest village in Santorini, known as the island’s “historic monument”), Megalochori (one of the most stunning villages on Santorini with typical and classical Cycladic houses dug into the volcanic rock), and Emporio (the island's commercial center during the Venetian occupation). See the Akrotiri excavations (a 4000-year-old Bronze age settlement that thrived for hundreds of years before being eradicated by a great volcanic eruption), and visit the unique natural phenomenon of Red beach.

Enjoy the convenience of hotel transfers and travel in an air-conditioned vehicle.
