Santorini 360 Experience: Private Mini-Van Tour including small-group Santorini Sunset Cruise

Enjoy a day exploring the land and coast of Santorini.
Start your day with a hotel pickup followed by a private 4-Hour land tour of Santorini during the daytime.

With our private mini-van tour of Santorini, you will explore Santorini with a personal chauffeur/guide and you will have the opportunity to customize your own itinerary, explore as you wish, and see the highlights of the island, from stunning natural wonders to idyllic towns.

Your leader will set up an itinerary for you covering highlights such as the caldera(cliff) views and the traditional town of Oia and of course he/she can follow your own suggestions as well on the spot, taking you to wherever and whatever interests you such as local restaurants, beaches, and landmarks. 

You will tour most of the island, stop at scenic towns like Oia, visit the black sand beach, wine-tasting at a winery (optional stop, upon wine interest), and you will capture lots of Santorini vistas along the way.

After the end of your 4-Hour private mini-van tour of Santorini head to the Vlychada port of Santorini where your small group(up to 20 guests onboard) Santorini sunset cruise starts, including a fresh Greek meal with drinks as part of the itinerary.

Enjoy an early evening sunset catamaran cruise at the sapphire blue waters of the Aegean and take the opportunity to enjoy a swim at the Red and Mesa Pigadia beaches on the south coast of Santorini.

Sail towards the caldera and the volcanic islands, experience a bath at the warm springs of Palea Kameni, and enjoy a full Greek meal prepared on board by the crew with Greek pan-fried fish fillets, grilled chicken, spreads such as Tzatziki and Greek Salad.

Finally, take in sunset views of the island’s sunset while you head back to the port. Hotel drop-off is included at the end of the activity.
