Tour ItineraryOia Village - The small village perches atop cliffs at Santorini´s northern terminus. Your guide leads you up the narrow, cobblestone lanes, pointing out the brilliantly whitewashed buildings, shops, cafes and domed churches. There will be some free time to explore on your own.

Local Winery - Enjoy a taste of Santorini with a visit to one of the local wineries. Santorini´s rich volcanic soil combined with the rare assyrtiko variety of grape grown here produce a wine unique to this island.

Fira - Santorini´s largest town is a village of whitewashed houses clinging to steep volcanic cliffs. Accessible only by foot, Fira´s narrow cobblestone lanes lead uphill past shops, homes and cafes to a cable car, your final destination.

Panagia Episkopi Church - Dating from the 11th century, it is the oldest remaining Byzantine church on the island. It has withstood raids by pirates, earthquakes, volcano eruptions and a fire in 1915. It is believed that the Virgin Mary protected the holy icons from the fire. Unfortunately, 26 of these priceless icons were stolen from the church in 1982 and have never been recovered.
