Begin the tour at the archaeological site of Akrotiri for a unique glimpse into the culture of ancient Santorini. Buildings, houses and incredible frescoes have been so well preserved in ash from a volcanic eruption that today you can still witness what urban life was like during the Minoan period. Your guide will show you around, telling you about its fascinating history as you walk along its main street lined with shops and warehouses from the ancient commercial city.


From here the tour takes you to ancient Thera, a city with fascinating ruins built on a picturesque settlement on top of a high rocky mountain called “Mesa Vouno”. Continue on to Kamari where you will be driven to the top of the ancient city. Uncover the ancient buildings, sanctuaries and temples, inscriptions and carved stones as well as the ancient theatre with commanding views over the Aegean Sea. Marvel at the view and let Santorini capture your imagination.
