Officially known as the Catholic Church of the Dormition, the Three Bells of Fira is one of the most iconic landmarks on the island. In terms of recognition, it probably only sits behind the three blue domes in Oia.
The former capital of Santorini and the best-preserved medieval settlement on the island, the village of Pyrgos retains an unruffled air of easy grace.
Prophet Elias Monastery is located in the southeast part of Santorini, near the village of Pyrgos, on the summit of Mount Profitis Ilias. It is built at a height of approximately 567 meters above sea level, which makes it the highest point on the whole island and therefore a place with a tremendous view!
Perivolos Beach is nestled on the southeastern coast of Santorini. Approximately 12 km from Fira, this stunning stretch of black sand lies between the seaside towns of Perissa and Agios Georgios. Its prime location, close to some of the most famous landmarks in Santorini, makes it a fantastic destination for easily exploring the island.
This impressive beach is a real attraction of the island! The view of the red, almost vertical, volcanic rocks and the small, reddish pebbles will take your breath away. This volcanic scenery is dotted with umbrellas and the figures of visitors with colorful clothes and accessories, coming here to marvel at the wild landscape, take a swim, or rent a canoe or sea bicycle and enjoy the view from the water.
Being recommended by Wine Enthusiast Magazine as the best place in Santorini to taste wine while watching the sunset over the caldera, make us not only proud but eager to keep offering to our guests the most iconic wine tasting experience in Santorini!
merovigli in Santorini is a picturesque village situated in the center-west part of Santorini. Geographically, it comprises a continuation of Fira and is considered one of the most beautiful balconies of the Aegean. Due to its location above a cliff, it provides its guests with breathtaking views of the sea, as well as the caldera and the volcano.
Straight out of a postcard, Oia is certainly the most picturesque village in Santorini - some may even claim it is the prettiest one in Greece!
The best experience in santorini!! Dimitri was the best, took us all around the island with the best knowledge of where to be at the right time to avoid crowds, very professional and respectful and always ready to help with anything. Thank you Dimitri for treating us like family and wish you the best in your life and in your business!!! See you in Puerto rico🫡
We only had two days on Santorini and the private tour with Dimitris was the perfect way to see the island in a personal and relaxed way. The tour lasted about 4 hours in his very comfortable, air conditioned car. Dimitris has great conversational skills and chats and listens intently making your tour highly personal. He seems to know everyone on the island (!) and waves and toots at locals as he passes by, and knows the people at the places you visit. The experience feels a million miles away from the commercial offerings of the Island. Dimitris knows how to avoid the congested bottlenecks and quiet parking spots right where you need to be. After the tour, we had a wait of 6 hours for our ferry. Dimitris let us use one of his lovely properties to freshen up in and store our luggage, even providing transport to and from Oia for a meal and then onward to the port for our ferry. An outstanding experience and a truly fantastic and genuine guy. Don’t even hesitate to book this trip. It really is the best way to see what Santorini has to offer and meet Dimitris who will make your experience memorable. Thank you so much Dimitris and hope to meet you again!
We had a fabulous and unforgettable Santorini experience, all thanks to Dimitris. From the start, he helped us plan a perfect day trip from flexible options at best prices. He flexibly added the Akrotiri site visit upon request. It was the personal touches that made it truly special: a quick stop at his home to taste the sweetest blackberries and see the unique local vines, a peaceful monastery visit, and buying shell jewelry from his spiritual friend near the Red Beach. Dimitris always responded promptly and even drove us to and from the airport. He also took great pictures and gave us fabulous lunch/dining recommendations that saved us so much time. With him, we felt less like a tour guide and more like a local family member or friend. Overall, it is not at all an understatement to say that Dimitris is providing the 10-star experience that Airbnb’s Brian Chesky talks about.
We initially booked Anemi house, a beautiful cave apartment in Oia on the cliff. Demitris reached out offering other travel services. We were very impressed by all the personal services we received. Airport pickup and drop off. We travelled almost 24 hours before arriving at Santorini. The driver was waiting for us right outside the baggage claim. He helped us with the bags, offered bottled water, then drove us in a nice car to Oia. Then Jonny helped carrying our bags down the winding path to the apartment. On checking out, Jonny picked up our bags again, and stored them till the time to the airport. If you want a hassle free way to travel in Santorini, this is the way to go. Private tour. Dimitris took us himself on the tour. We visited multiple panoramic views of the island, churches, and red and black sand beaches. Dimitris shared the history, plants, and geology of the island. We even got to visit his home and his vineyard! It was his passion about the island that made our trip memorable.
My husband and I had a great time touring around Santorini end of May. We felt like VIPs. Thanks to Dimitris who felt like family. We toured the whole island in comfort , not rushed and without getting caught in traffic.He knows the ins and outs of the whole island and knew where to re route. He took us to beautiful caldera vistas in Imerovigli, the southernmost in the island Akrotiri Lighthouse , Monastery of Prophet Elias of Thira, town of Fira , Red Beach and more. He was not just our driver and tour guide, he was also our photographer! His tour is well worth it because he will go above and beyond. We also met his lovely wife and cute daughter as an added bonus! Besides the tour, he took care of our airport pick up and drop off. Making sure we were taken care of from start to finish. We miss Dimitris with a big heart! We met as strangers but we left as brothers! That was the highlight of our Santorini experience!
We had the best tour around the island! Dimitris is an excellent guide! We did the afternoon tour with our 2 kids, and we all had a great time. We had some friends staying on the other side of the island. Dimitris made it possible to stop there and have a dinner- he is so helpful and friendly! We hope to return to Santorini and both stay in his house and do more tours with him. Really recommend this tour :) Thanks Dimitris
Best tour ever! My husband and I got married in Santorini 10 years ago and we wanted to come back to celebrate. Dimitris gave us a private tour of the island and all of its hidden gems that we would never think of or knew it existed. He was so personable and knowledgeable. His bubbly personality was so contagious. Dimitris even made sure we stopped by our wedding venue and took pictures for us. Best day spent in Santorini and discovered the island beauty. Dimitris is the absolute best. You will not regret booking this tour. He also took a lot of great pictures, like your own personal photographer.Highly recommended when you want to experience all of the beauty and history that Santorini has to offer.
My family had a wonderful 3-day stay at Anemi Villas, and we especially loved their private tour—it was truly amazing! We gained so much insight from a local’s perspective. We explored the island, witnessing firsthand the warmth and camaraderie among the locals. That added a special touch to all the beautiful sights we saw. Santorini is so much more than just its iconic blue-domed churches, castle, stunning caldera sunset, and cave houses. This tour showed my family just how much more there is to discover! Plus, the tour is incredibly relaxed, and you can tailor it to your interests, especially if you’re looking for something specific (like wine tasting, a museum, or anything else). I wholeheartedly recommend it! Thank you, Dimitris, for being the best driver, tour guide, and host.
We had the best time in Santorini thanks to our friendly host and travel guide Dimitri!!! with Anemi Travel Private Tour. Dimitri drove us to the main attractions of the island , he took beautiful pictures of us all , he’s also very knowledgeable of the history of Santorini. Thanks to Dimitri we had an unforgettable vacation! Anemi Travel Private Tour is 110%!! Worth booking!!
We had such an awesome private tour! Our guide mR. Dimitirs was fantastic and made everything so easy. Seeing the famous views of Oia from the balcony of the house was even better in person than in photos. We also loved checking out the unique colors at Red Beach and hanging out at the Black Sand Beach. It was the perfect way to see the island's highlights without the stress of navigating on our own
Our family had an extraordinary experiences with Anemi Travel Private Tour. Our host and guide Dimitris is so warm and knowledgeable. The weather was not the best when we stay in Santorini. It was very windy and cloudy. However, our guide Dimitris made our day super shiny! Thanks, Anemi Travel!
We had an absolutely incredible 5-hour tour in Santorini! It was the perfect way to see the island's highlights. Our guide Dimtriv was knowledgeable, professional, and made sure we hit all the best spots for photos and history. The pace was excellent—we never felt rushed, and every stop felt well-timed. If you're looking for a seamless and memorable way to experience the beauty of Santorini, I cannot recommend this tour enough.
Dimitri was an excellent host and tour guide. He took us from one end of the island to the other so we could see everything. Along the way he provided interesting facts and answered all our questions. He also took lots of photos of us and gave them to us at the end. It was one of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommend this tour and Dimitri.
I had an amazing Tour with Dimitris, he is an amazing host and guide, took me to the places I wanted to see and visited and explained me everything! Super kind and gentle soul! The world needs more people like him! I highly Recommend! ⭐️
Our private tour with Dimitri was absolutely unforgettable! From the moment he greeted us, his warmth, kindness, and genuine hospitality made us feel instantly welcomed. Dimitri is the perfect blend of professional and personable—he took care of every detail while making the entire day feel relaxed, friendly, and fun. He guided us to the most beautiful corners of Santorini. Every stop was stunning, every story he shared added meaning, and every moment felt thoughtfully curated. His passion for the island truly shines through, and it made our experience even more special. We left the tour with incredible photos, and a deep appreciation for this beautiful island—all thanks to Dimitri. If you’re considering a private tour in Santorini, don’t hesitate—Dimitri is the absolute BEST!
It was a wonderful trip. He took a lot of photos and guided us lot about all of areas. Thank you for the experience. We enjoyed a lot
素晴らしいツアーでした！ 美しい景色や歴史などを沢山教えていただき、サントリーニ島をより深く知ることが出来ました！また絶対ツアーに参加したいです！Thanks to you, we were able to experience the island in a very special way. Majiyabai！ Rena＆Anri
We booked our tour around the island with Anemi Travel and what an amazing day it was. We saw so many magical places around the island with Dimitris. He took the time to explain the history of the island, suggest some tips for each spot, take nice photos, and share his 22 years worth of experience living in Santorini. He clearly loves sharing his love for the island with guests. I highly recommend booking especially for cruise travelers or those staying in Oía!
Dimitris is the best tour guide out there! Very attentive, caring, knowledgeable and fun! I would recommend anyone even considering doing this to go ahead and book it. Trust me you will not regret it!
It was a fantastic experience -Dimitris was an amazing host, he made us feel so special - the private tour he provided was such an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended! The villa was also great - top location and also seconds away from the hectic central street of Oia, but still quiet. The sunset view from the terrace is top!
Dimitris took our family of five on this tour, and it was one of the best experiences we had on our holiday. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and took us to some incredible places around the island that we would never have discovered on our own. For anyone wanting to see the highlights of Santorini in a comfortable and enjoyable way, this is the tour to book. Thank you, Dimitris, for an unforgettable day!
We had a wonderful tour of Santorini with this company. The tour guide was knowledgeable and so friendly, we were never rushed and he really took time to share the secrets and experience the local culture of this beautiful island.
Dimitris gave us a highly personalized tour of Santorini. He included all the main attractions and tailored it as requested. It felt like a very knowledgeable friend was showing us around the island he clearly loves. The photos sent afterwards was a great touch, giving a record of the day.
We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Anemi Travel in Santorini. Dimitri, who was not only our host in Oia but also our guide for the day, made our trip truly unforgettable. He took us through some of the island’s most beautiful spots, sharing local stories, cultural insights, and hidden gems that we would have never discovered on our own. The highlight of the day was the breathtaking hike from Oia to Fira – a journey filled with stunning views, peaceful paths, and moments we will cherish forever. Another very special aspect was that Dimitri was also our photographer during the experience. The photos he took were not only beautiful but also captured the essence of the day in such an authentic and memorable way – they will remain as treasures from our time in Santorini. Dimitri’s warmth, knowledge, and passion for Santorini made us feel both welcome and inspired. Everything was perfectly organized, and we felt cared for throughout the entire experience. We highly recommend Anemi Travel and Dimitri to anyone who wants to truly experience the magic of Santorini in a unique and meaningful way. It was a day we will never forget!
Our tour of Santorini was excellent!!! Our tour guide Dimitris showed us the whole island and explained the sights, took pictures of us, shared stories about the history and development of the island and went above and beyond to help us shop and find the best activities and restaurants. He gave us gifts from the island and tailored our tour specifically what we were interested in. If we had not done the tour with him we would not have had the full appreciation of the island and it sights. I would highly recommend this 10++ tour!!!
Dimitri is such a great guy and great guide. He thought of everything! It was a treat to see the top of the island (monastery to lighthouses) and all inside to outside. He desires to please the client, & picked a GREAT spot to eat. He also arranged special dinner reservations w/amazing views. His love for his home shows through the entire tour! Try it, you’ll love it!
It was our first time in Santorini and we are so happy we chose to spend it with Dimitris at Anemi. Dimitris is the most helpful, kind, and welcoming man! He organized everything for us, personally picked us up from the airport, and had our bags delivered to our room. He also helped us with ordering taxis throughout the trip, which was very helpful and made us feel safe and at ease. We highly recommend the tour of Santorini he offers. He showed us the entire island! We visited many places we would have otherwise not seen. The room is an amazing location, very close to the Blue Dome. It has the perfect view of the famous Santorini sunsets. The room was clean and well organized. I would rate Anemi an 11/10 if I could! We are so happy we chose this property!
We were given the absolutely best tour of the island of Santorini ending with an afternoon at seaside beach club. We could not have asked for a better day! Our guide took us to so many local and hidden spots. He really took the time to make it an extra special memory.
We are so glad we did this tour. Santorini has so much to offer besides Oia (which we love). Dimitris, our guide, was fantastic. We loved the small village and churches the red beach, the grape vines, and the light house. We ended the afternoon at the Black beach. Well worth it!
Demetri is amazing - kind, knowledgable, fun and super thoughtful. He showed us the entire island and we did not sit in a car - we hopped out and walked around some - we had some time to ourselves and he built the trip around our interests. We will push our friends and family to use Demetri as their guide in the future. He literally made our trip! Book him immediately if available. He helped with a boat cruise the next day as well as reservation at a nice spot for dinner at sunset! My wife was blown away and I looked like a genius 😂. You will be so glad you booked him if you get the chance.
We recently stayed at Anemi Villas in Santorini, hosted by Dimitris, and it was an unforgettable experience. The cave villa was stunning, beautifully decorated, and thoughtfully stocked with everything you could need. Located in Oia, it offered breathtaking ocean views and a perfect vantage point for the famous Santorini sunset. Dimitris brings a personal touch to every part of the stay. He meets each of his guests in person and makes you feel truly welcome. His pricing is more reasonable than many others, and the villa felt like a true home away from home. He arranged transportation for us, including pickup from the ferry dock and drop-off at the airport, making the experience seamless and stress-free. He shared helpful information and offered excellent recommendations, especially for vegetarian-friendly restaurants in Oia, which were all spot on. We also booked a full-day island tour through his transport company, and it was one of the highlights of our trip. Dimitris personally drove us, shared the island’s history, and talked about how he came to Santorini and built his business. It was truly inspiring. We hiked from Imerovigli to Fira, then visited the monastery, the Red Beach, and the Black Beach. Along the way, Dimitris provided water, coffee, protein bars, and even gave us souvenirs, including the traditional Greek eye to take home. We took more than 300 photos and created memories we will cherish forever. If you are visiting Santorini, book with Dimitris and don’t waste time looking anywhere else. He will make your trip memorable in every way. Thank you, Dimitris. Wishing you all the best with your business. You absolutely deserve five stars.
Dimitris made everything about our stay in Santorini wonderful! He kept our whole family, including two teenagers, completely engaged for an entire day. He is extremely knowledgeable, kind and so much fun to be around! He knows everyone on the island and gave us such a great experience so we could see all the sites we wanted to see. He also gave us great recommendations for places to go for dinner and the next day. I highly recommend using Anemi Travels - we would definitely use him again and will suggest him to all our friends! Thank you again, Dimitris!
Our tour with Dimitris was truly the highlight of our stay in Santorini. He spent the entire day with my family—which included my husband, our 4.5-year-old daughter, and two elderly relatives (ages 81 and 77)—and tailored the experience so that everyone could enjoy the island at their own pace. We visited Fira, Imerovigli, the Lighthouse, the Monastery, and both the Red and Black sand beaches. Each stop was unique and had stunning views. Dimitris thoughtfully took into account dietary restrictions within our group and brought us to a wonderful vegetarian-friendly restaurant right by the Black sand beach. From the moment we met him, Dimitris felt like family. He shared his deep knowledge of the island, took beautiful photos of us throughout the day, and made the experience both seamless and unforgettable. His warmth, hospitality, and genuine care made this tour something we’ll cherish for a long time.
Dimitris made our stay in Oía absolutely wonderful and we learned so much about Santorini on this tour! He designed the day to bring us to the best parts of the island where we walked the famous hike from Imerovigli to Fira and then drove us to the monastery, the red sand beach, the black sand beach, and took photos of us while sharing so much information about the history of Greece. He was even kind enough to give us trinkets along the way that we will cherish for a lifetime. My daughter and I felt so cared for and safe as we explored and I would recommend Anemi Villas and the tour to anyone who is looking for a well-rounded visit to Santorini. Don’t hesitate to book this trip!!!
Dimitri’s tour of Santorini was incredible and our favorite day in Santorini! He took my family (my husband and I along with our two daughters ages 10 and 13) to Pyrgos, Akrotiri, the Red Beach and the Black Beach. We had the best day! He took great photos of us as well. We also stayed in his pink villa and the accommodations were stunning 🤩. He arranged our breakfast, our drivers and beyond. Our time in Santorini was amazing and ran so smoothly because of Dimitri. I highly recommend using him for any of your needs in Santorini and staying in one of his properties. He’s the best! 5 stars! ⭐️
My husband and I spent 4 amazing days in Santorini celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary, and this tour made it unforgettable! Dimitris drove us to all the beautiful places on our list and thought of everything making our day worry free … coffee, water, special souvenirs … and he took over 200 photos of us enjoying all that the island has to offer! We spent hours exploring, and the views were breathtaking. Dimitris also suggested we consider a half-day on the beach which was the perfect way to spend our last day there. Santorini is a beautiful, romantic island, and a private tour with Anemi Travel is the perfect way to make the most of your visit here. Highly recommend!
Had a great private tour with Dimitris on Santorini! He met us directly off our Seajet boat and showed us the best sites around the island! He answered all our question and was very knowledgeable, fun and full of energy. He helped us make the most of our day trip and ensured we got to try some great wine and appetizers before delivering us back to catch our evening ferry. Five stars, we recommend!
We had a great experience with this tour ! Dimitris picked us up on time and we started our tour around Santorini! We visited the most famous spots ( we took amazing photos ) but also some places which we would never found ourselves which were fantastic! Dimitris had a great knowledge of his Island and he gave us a lot of insight about Santorini and living here as a local - something we highly appreciated! Whenever we came back to meet him he was waiting for us with some fresh cold water and also energy bars 😊 we felt safe during our tour which is very important for us ! in overall it was an amazing experience and we highly recommend it to everyone who wants to explore Santorini ! Many thanks Dimitris ❤️
The best experience. Dimitri was very professional and helpful. He prevented us from waiting in long lines, took us to see a large part of the island from beaches, Oia and to some spectacular views. We got to know Santorini with a local and I recommend it 100%!
Amazing experience! Super good tour, he takes you all over the island to explore and see places never seen before. Dimitri is the best!! They even took photos of us everywhere without any problem and he took us to Oia at the best time, so it wouldn't be so crowded.
The Tour was sensational, the transportation wonderful, the sympathy of Dimitris and kindness at all times. I was impressed with Greek tourism in general. The super receptive and hospitable people. The clean and organized places.
Excellent service, it was wonderful to meet Santorini with Dimitris who knows the island for years and has super interesting information. The best guide we could have and we had amazing moments, in addition to the beautiful photos he took. I recommend 100%.
