Upon arrival, staff with signs displaying bus numbers will greet you and guide you to your vehicle. Your first stop is the famous village of Oia, known for its stunning views and traditional Cycladic architecture. You’ll have around 1.5 hours to explore. On busy days, the tour may begin in Fira instead. Next, the excursion continues to Fira, the capital of Santorini. Stroll through its quaint streets, visit local shops, and enjoy breathtaking views of the Caldera. While in Fira, you can join an optional Volcano tour (extra cost), offered from mid-May. It includes a boat trip and a swim in the hot springs.
