The Southern Wonders of Santorini Tour gives visitors who seek a peek into authentic island living a taste of what Santorini is all about. Without the hassle of large resorts and overwhelming crowds, this tour takes you around some of the island’s hidden gems, spots you will simply fall in love with! Let’s take a detailed look at the stops and points of interest.

1-st stop:

Pyrgos. On a vantage point, right in the center of Santorini, the village of Pyrgos used to be the capital of the island and a mighty fortress, a castle. Strolling around its narrow alleys and picturesque corners is an awe-inspiring experience, and the views of the Great Vineyard of Santorini and the entire Island are truly breathtaking!

2-nd stop:

Megalochori. A quaint, traditional village that maintains all its authentic charm and beauty. A walk around the village is delightfully soothing, almost like a journey back in time, whereas Megalochori has quite a few interesting gastronomic and artisan proposals.

3-rd stop:

Vlychada Beach. One of Santorini’s most famous yet secluded beaches, Vlychada has a unique, otherworldly character that captures the eye. Rocky, lunar-like and ethereal, the perfect unity of the powers of the sea, the sun, and the rocks.

4-th stop:

Lighthouse. At the most distant corner of Santorini, at the Akrotiri peninsula, an iconic lighthouse is a beloved landmark and a favorite photographic spot for those who venture to reach this rocky edge. Offering gorgeous panoramic views, especially during the sunset, this tranquil spot is a hidden gem of Santorini truly worth a visit!

5-th stop:

Wine Tasting! The perfect conclusion to a delightful day, a tantalizing wine tasting at a local winery. Here you will learn why the wines of Santorini taste so good, what makes them so unique and vibrant, and you will get to enjoy them at the very spot they are made!

    We are working hard to make sure our guests enjoy their travel experiences with us. We let our customers' testimonials speak for us.

    We went to Crete last year and had the best local experience going through them. Especially the gastro tour, and absolutely loved Chania and the villages! We organized everything with them from transfers to tours and dining - everything went smoothly with great communication. Highly recommend using their services if you want a true local experience with excellent seamless service. Thank you Katerina and team!

    Crete’s top boutique travel agency and personal concierge service. This has been an unforgettable experience for my me and my wife and we cannot commend enough Katarina’s passion for history and her extensive knowledge of the island. Look to her to take you to places on Crete that are rarely revealed to the average tourist.

    We were on a tour through 105olives. I definitely want to share only positive vibes from the communication, service, and experience we received. Katerina is a very friendly, professional, and moreover nice person herself. I have been traveling worldwide and 105olives tour services are one of the best indeed. Highly recommended.
