Itinerary
Begin your full-day private tour early in the morning with a pick-up from your hotel. Your driver will transport you to the Athens Airport, where you will catch your flight to Santorini.
Upon arrival at Santorini Airport an experienced local driver/guide will meet you, and then spend the day exploring the world's most iconic island in a deluxe and comfortable minivan.
First, drive to the island's northern part and welcome the famous village of Oia. Unique in every way with the scenic blue-domed churches and stunning panoramic views, Oia is one of the most instagramic places in Europe and a must-see.
Departing from the north, driving through the eastern coast and dry desert-like land, arrive at another traditional village, Megalochori, located in the island's interior. Stroll the narrow pathways, and capture the lovely tiered bell towers found on the way. This settlement is made of hundreds of tiny whitewashed houses with elegant architecture, beautiful blue-domed churches, and underground cave dwellings. In this picturesque and non-touristic environment, you will delve into the local slow-paced culture.
Next, head to the most famous beach on Santorini, the Red beach, a remarkable natural wonder, and get the opportunity to take amazing pictures of the volcanic scenery and the reddish cliffs.
After a twenty-minute drive, arrive at the southernmost part of the island and step onto Perivolos black sand beach, with the fantastic seaside restaurants and crystal clear waters.
Back on the minivan, driving between landscapes full of vines, reach the island's highest peak, the monastery of Prophet Elias, at 565 meters. In these tranquil surroundings, taste local products made by the monks who reside in this old monastery built in 1711 and appreciate magnificent views of the whole island.
After this fascinating experience, your day trip ends back at the Santorini Airport, where you will take your flight back to Athens, where we will drive you back to your hotel.

excellent tour of beautiful Santorini with marvellous Nicholas tour guide; very well organised by Mikaella
We had Ariste as a tour guide. He was wonderful.. He helped my mother out a lot and made special arrangements to fit with her needs and made it safe for her.
A great way to see all the sights of Santorini. We had a great guide Dimitri that presented a local perspective on the island.
Amazing vistas on this spectacular island with layers of history. Our driver, Dimitris, was so pleasant and accommodating, informing us of the seen and unseen spectrum of activity of this famous destination.
Wonderful family trip! We have just one day sightseeing and the guide makes it super nice.

Had just a little time between a friend's marriage and our scheduled vacation, we tried this one day trip to Santorini. Felt really comfortable with everything organised, truly anxious free. Enjoyed the famous Santorini and the breathtaking views of caldera, walked through the picturesque villages and tried the famous wines. Our guide was really helpful and to the point. Enjoyed every second. Highly recommended!

Our driver was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, showing us not only the famous sights but also the secret gems of the island that made the experience truly special.

It was educational, authentic, and incredibly enjoyable. This is without a doubt the BEST choice if you want to book your tour in advance and have an unforgettable experience on the island.
Amazing experience and incredible service. I would highly recommend to everyone. Everything was excellent from beginning to end.
We had the most amazing experience in Santorini with this day trip from athens. Aries the driver over does a smooth pick up and drive to the airport, while there Argiris was waiting for us to have these 6-hour experience together. He was flexible, knowledgeable, and fun. We highly recommend this tool for everyone who wants to experience something from athens. On the way back Aries got us back to our hotel in Athens. It was a great overall
Perfect one day trip to Santorini. Pickup and drop off was easy and also the whole communication before the tour. We had an amazing tour in Santorini with Argyris. He was so flexible , fun and knowledgeable. We felt like having seen almost anything. Great tour!
Greatest tour evwr! Mikaella helped us a lot with the arrangments while ouebtour with Archie was ggreat! Well book again
We booked a private one day tour from Athens to Santorini during our Greece vacation arranged through Englobia travel. This was the BEST tour of our entire trip. Booking and communication with Englobia was always excellent and very professional. Our tour guide, Argyris was outstanding, so friendly and knowledgeable and spoke perfect English among other languages. We toured almost the whole island stopping at all the main attractions. Argyris is a local guide and knows his beautiful island very well. If you are planning a trip to Greece you MUST do Santorini and definitely book your trip through Englobia travel. Our only regret is that we couldn't stay longer in this beautiful island! We ended our tour with a delicious lunch by the black beach. 100% recommend this agency.
Been to Santorini for one more time taking this tour and definitely I did not regret it. We were able to customize the whole experience while our wine tasting was a highlight at gaia winery this time. Our guide Dimitris was a great host!
Dimitris was a wonderful tour guide. Very knowledgeable and took into consideration our needs. I would highly recommend Dimitris if you come to Santorini
We had an excellent experience with the company! We were smoothly picked up from our hotel and had everything taken care of, including flights and boarding passes. Our Santorini tour was fantastic, with our guide Argyris driving and guiding us around most of the island. The wine tasting was also a highlight, giving us a complete experience. Upon landing in Athens, our driver was ready and waiting to take us back to the hotel. The standout of the trip was our tour guide in Santorini (Archie) and the exceptional communication with Mikaella before and after the day trip. She is invaluable!
If you’re going to Santorini I highly recommend this tour! Our guide was a native of the island and had a plethora of knowledge on the island …as well as where to go for food Wonderful tour!
What an amazing experience! We saw the entire island in a day. Dimitris as extremely knowledgeable and attentive. He made the experience! I would recommend to everyone.
Professionalism, handling all itinerary from picking us up from our hotel to dropping us off at the hotel. The guide, Argyris was personal and friendly with lots of great stories and interesting facts from the island. If we ever get to go again we will do this again and try and request for Argyris again. After the tour he found us the information we needed to purchase a painting from a dealer. Really did go above and beyond. Thank you for making this a very memorable trip Argyris.
Clean rides in a Mercedes to and from the airport with very nice drivers that spoke English. Nick, our guide was super knowledgeable about the area, history and culture as a Santorinian. He chose a fabulous lunch spot seaside with delicious and authentic food. The scenery and beauty of the island was incredible. Finished the day with wine tasting and tour of the local winery. Perfect!
Our day trip from Athens to Santorini, led by the incredible Archie, exceeded all expectations. Seamless roundtrip transfers, a well-planned itinerary covering must-see spots like Oia and Fira, and a personalized touch made this tour exceptional. Archie's expertise and friendly demeanor added a special touch, with a highlight being the insightful visit to a local winery. Highly recommend this tour for a perfect day in Santorini! Thanks, Archie and team, for an unforgettable experience!
My friends and I came to Greece after a few years and had the assistance of the company in organizing everything. My tputnin Santorini was just amazing and Archie was the greatest guide we ever had. From nice little walks in Oia and Megalhori to premium wine tasting in Gavalas, the tour in Santorini was just the highlight of all our trip!
Our 6-hour private tour of Santorini was a highlight of our trip. From the stunning views in Oia to the quaint charm of Megalochori, every moment was magical and I absolutely recommend it. Santorini is famous for her wines and we also visited Gavalas Winery for a wine tasting! It was a sensory delight, and their wines were exceptional. The Red and Black Beaches were unlike anything we've ever seen, and our guide's insights enhanced the whole experience. This tour exceeded our expectations and left us with cherished memories. It’s amazing that in one day we had the chance to see so many locations in Santorini and enjoy the whole day! The guide we had was the best and explained us everything during the day trip. Thank you Argyris and hope to see you soon in another tour day!
Our tour guide, Dora, gave us an experience of Santorini that far exceeded our expectations. Her knowledge, grace, and warmth made our first time trip to Santorini so memorable and special. We cannot stop talking about the beauty of the island and how wonderful the people were to us. Dora had us see the island from every angle and we are very grateful for the total experience!
We recently went on a guided tour of Santorini, and it was an absolutely breathtaking experience. From the moment we arrived, our tour guide Argyris was knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about the island's history and culture.
Englobia gave us the best experience ever! I traveled with my family from US and visited Santorini for the first time. Everything was perfectly organized and we really enjoyed our private tour on the island. Highly recommend 👌
The tour guide she was excellent very kowlegeable and accommodating ! Dora you the best we enjoyed you and the trip ! Highly recommend this trip . I spent a day but it felt like a few weeks.
Second time in Santorini and second time with Englobia. What else should I say? We had an amazing time with our private local guide, he was so friendly and knowledgeable! Thank you so much Archie!!!
We were lucky enough to book our whole trip to Greece with Englobia and we had the time of our lives! However this specific tour was the highlight of our whole trip! Thank you Mikaela and Argyris!
Amazing experience. The tour was a great way to explore places on the island that I might have never seen. Thank you very much for the great tour and overall service.
We spend 3 days in Santorini and this tour included the best parts of the island with sufficient time to enjoy the spectacular view of Oia and Red Beach, take long walks at the traditional village of Megalochori and create wonderful memories. The best part was the visit to the winery of Gavalas Winery. We had an excellent experience at this wine tasting which gave us an opportunity to both learn about and taste wines of Santorini. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic- he added in information about food pairings that enhanced our tastings. We can’t wait to go back to island next summer.
What an amazing experience. Felt super private and the standard was VIP. I would do this gift to myself again and again. I recommend it without a shadow of a doubt
We had the best experience we could ever get in Santorini! We explored the best of the island and had flexibility on what we wanted to do! Our tour guide was really fun and knowledgable! We highly recommend the tour!
Excellent tour! We got to dig the prettiest and most picturesque parts of Santorini in a single day. Argyris was both the driver and the tour guide, he can break jokes and do a thorough description of the history of Santorini's town while driving or walking. He was also given the prize of the best photographer! :)))) Thanks a lot!!!
The best tour we had on our trip to Greece! Our tour guide (cant remember the name) made everything to make our tour as fun as possible! Great knowledge in the history of the island and the wines! We also had an amazing lunch in the black beach! Thanks a lot!!!
We had the best time in Santorini thanks to Englobia and Argyris! We started our tour in Oia, where we had an hour of walking tour with Archie, then we explored a wonderful traditional village, and we had the best wine tasting at an old winery! At the end of the tour we visited the stunning red beach and the mountain top! Great experience! Thank you once again!
Wonderful Day in Santorini with Agryris. He took us everywhere we wanted to go and made the most of the day we had on the island. He also helped us get last minute reservations at a wonderful restaurant at sunset. It was a perfect day!
We decided to book Englobia for our visit in Athens and Santorini this summer after having it recommended by our friends. We were amazed by the quality of the tours as well as the abundance of variety they offer. Despite of being free to customise the tours based on your personal preferences, I would definitely recommend entrusting the whole thing to the amazing Englobia team during your vacation in Greece!
What I would like to state is that I experienced the best holiday trip of my life. The Englobia agency, to which we were introduced from a mutual friend, made sure that our trip to Santorini was one of a kind. We landed in Athens mid July within a heatwave animaginable and the crew of the agency had already made sure that our itinerary would be followed with the maximum of persistence in order for us to enjoy the Greek summer in all it's glory. We had them organize a short trip to Athens and then visit Santorini through Piraeus. The itinerary that was proposed to us was so exciting that my husband declared to me that we are definitely coming back next summer. The trips and the experiences organised be Englobia agency combined with the breathtaking scenery of the island gave us an experience that I would definitely recommend. Make sure to try that wine tasting evening.. Simple perfection.
I highly recommend this tour with wine tasting 🍷 🙂 If you are visiting Santorini this must. We had amazing time. This tour was wonderful experience for me and my friends, we had great time.
Todo estuvo perfecto 👌 Nuestro guía Dimitris una persona muy atenta y genial en todo momento. Siempre estuvo muy atento conmigo y mi familia . Gracias por sus atenciones a Dimitri .🤝
The best choice for such a special moment with my husband, the tour was wonderful Santorini is a piece of heaven on earth, to highlight very positively the good attitude of the guide and his best disposition at all times, we would return again, 100% recommended
Very good info, excellent Service, was very well informed all the possibilities and sights, my rating of 1-10 9.9
