The very best excursion in Santorini are the boat and a glass of wine excursions. Every excursion I have actually handled Santorini has been great (or very great)-- and I have actually never had a bad experience. It's not absolutely essential to pre-book scenic tours prior to arriving but if you get on a short go to (much less than 5 days) it's most likely a good concept to reserve your excursion ahead of time. From June to September the best trips can be completely scheduled weeks in advance.

Obtain Your Guide-- The most full checklist of Santorini excursions. Excellent website for obtaining trip price cuts.
Jet Ski To The Volcano
This may be the funnest point I've ever done in my life. You start from Perivolos beach and also take the jet skis around the south of the island and afterwards up into the caldera. It's definitely remarkable. (There are 3 kinds of excursion and you'll wish to do the Volcano Trip Santorini daily tours or Extreme Volcano Scenic Tour-- both of these go into the caldera.).
Small Team Red Wine Tasting Tour.
Santorini has some amazing red wine (Assyrtiko is my favorite). This is an intimate semi-private trip that sees 3 wonderful Santorini wineries. There is additionally a less costly Santorini Sunset Wine Scenic tour that is practically as great. It will have a couple of even more people yet it's still a little team excursion (and also some individuals enjoy fulfilling other tourists so the reality that it's public might be a plus).
Sundown Cruise Ship: Caldera Cruising Scenic Tour.
Every boat scenic tour is different. The alternatives include: hike the volcano, swim in the thermal springs, visit Thirassia, stop at Red Coastline as well as White Beach to swim as well as snorkel, consume lunch/dinner on board, as well as enjoy the sundown listed below Oia. This is the most basic (but still amazing)-- it's primarily simply cruising via the caldera, stopping at a couple of coastlines (outside of the caldera), after that the warm springs, with swimming, eating, and also sunbathing. And also ultimately watching the sunset on the boat from listed below the Oia high cliffs (the emphasize). Bring a change of clothing to change into for the evening as it gets a little awesome if you're still in your wet swim garments. All boat scenic tours discussed here provide dishes onboard as well as have hotel pick-up to start as well as complete the excursion.
Day Cruise: High-end Catamaran Day Cruise Ship.
The most elegant boat excursion with the very best food as well as friendliest smallest team. This is a caldera boat excursion with lots of swimming as well as snorkeling. Unrestricted beverages and also free resort pick-up as well as drop-off. It resembles the Sunset Cruise ship however without the sunset and there's even more swimming as well as time in the sunlight. (I just did this tour in September and also it's as enjoyable as ever before.).
Best of Santorini (6 Hrs).
The most effective exclusive scenic tour in Santorini. No boats, this is a sightseeing tour of the island itself with an expert overview. The excursion visits three of my favorite places: Akrotiri (the amazing damages of the old town damaged by the volcano eruption), Pyrgos (an old community with twisting paths as well as churches galore, amazing sights also), as well as Oia (the solitary most lovely village on Santorini). There are likewise stops at Red and also Black beaches, a neighborhood vineyard (Venetsanos), and also the attractive town of Firostefani. Hotel pick-up and also drop-off make this a super simple means to see the island in one day.
Santorini Photography Scenic Tour.
Great scenic tour of Santorini's best sights and shots. (For all photographers: from newbie to expert.) If you're looking for something truly distinct and also unique after that this is it. Individuals definitely love this scenic tour. I indicate, enjoy it!
Santorini Angling Excursion.
Remarkable scenic tour of the waters around Santorini on a local angling boat. Fresh seafood lunch or supper offered aboard (eat what you capture as well as clear from the webs). The daytime scenic tour is best for households and also severe anglers. The sundown scenic tour is best for couples.
This is the solitary best thing to do on Santorini-- and also it's free! The views are extraordinary. The walk takes somewhere between 2 as well as 5 hrs relying on your speed and also the amount of images you bring the method.
Start in Fira and also relocate north through Firostefani and then Imerovigli (this part of the course really feels even more like a village sidewalk). From Imerovigli to Oia it's largely country with just a couple of stores or restaurants on this stretch of path. Most people will want to wear a durable running footwear for the stroll however I've certainly seen people do it in flip flops. The path isn't entirely marked however it's fairly intuitive: remain on the course that complies with the edge of the caldera and stroll north (when in doubt remain to the left/west). Certainly, it's great to do the walk in the opposite direction yet it feels more all-natural (to me) to stroll north to Oia as well as the island's suggestion. As well as strolling into Oia from capitals over is an outstanding coating. If it's July or August I 'd extremely suggest starting before 8am.
I can not state sufficient wonderful things about this wonderful scenic tour. It's run by an individual from New Zealand called Olaf. The trip is for tiny teams of 1 to 4 as well as he tailors it based upon the skill and also interests of the team. Are you just identifying exactly how to utilize your brand-new cam? Olaf's your male. Are you a severe lover wanting to discover the most effective shots on Santorini?
Olaf understands the places. It's a little pricey however this is a terrific method to see the island from a variety of special spots. It's likewise great if simply one in your group has an interest in digital photography and the others just want to delight in the views. Actually, the places Olaf takes you to make this an amazing tour despite having no interest in taking photos. Highly suggested-- but publication far ahead of time.
