Santorini in 5 hours with a local guide and A/C ride. See Oia, Megalochori, and the Black Beach plus cable car transfers.
“Our tour was wonderful. The tour guide Elaina and Spears (driver) were wonderful. Elaina helped take photos and was very thorough on making sure everything was taken care of. Our cruise ship was late by an hour and they waited on us to start the tour. We did not have a way to contact them so when we showed up and they were still there with the sign it was such a relief.”
Guided bus day to Akrotiri, Red Beach, and black-sand shores with Prophet Elias and Megalochori; €20 Akrotiri fee.
“Tania, very positive and outgoing and knowledgeable. Inside Akrotiri, Eugenia was awesome and beautiful.”
Santorini’s Akrotiri and Red Beach day trip: monastery views, Megalochori village, volcanic ruins, and beach time with pickup and AC.
“Akrotiri excavations were amazing. Felt rushed and would have liked to see museum. The best part of the tour.”
Ride secluded black sand at Monolithos on a small-group horse tour with helmets, photo stops, and homemade wine at the stables.
“The horses had sores on their heads and on their hips. They were skinny. They weren’t well taken care of. I was under the impression that we were going to go along the black sanded beach and then said we went through a sandpit with trash everywhere. We did go on the side of beach to get to the sand pits. But it was not as it was described. I wasn’t impressed and I felt bad for the horses The older gentleman was very nice and sweet.”

“That they took 124 pictures and it only cost 20 euros to have all of them.”
Relax at Wet Stories Santorini on Perivolos Beach with sunbeds or cabanas, showers, cocktails, Mediterranean bites, DJ music, and an 8 PM dinner.
“Kupując bilet wstępu przez aplikację trzeba to powiedzieć wyraźnie obsłudze przy wejściu w innym przypadku przez godzinę będą Cię ignorować pobiorą od Ciebie pieniądze jak gdyby nie było to opłacone z góry. Obsługa generalnie mało komunikatywna, niemiła. Na zamówienie czeka się długo, ciężko się o cokolwiek doprosić. Cena nieadekwatna do jakości, 200 m obok jest plaża z leżakami bardzo podobnymi w cenie 10 euro za cały dzień,”

A fast, cruise-friendly Santorini loop: Firostefani and Oia views, quiet villages, vineyard vibes, plus a black-sand beach swim.
“Our guide thought our tour was only an hour. So there was a bit of confusion that was soon sorted out by the owner and he continued our tour for the rest of the duration.”
Half-day Santorini south coast tour from Fira with views at Prophet Elias, black-sand Perivolos, and guided Akrotiri archaeology.
“I want a refund! We waited for the blue bus across the old medical center, but there was none! It was supposed to be there at 10:00 and we were there 9:50 and waited until 10:30. I did not receive any notification that the meeting place was changed. This should not happen!!!”
