Santorini: Oia & Fira

Santorini: Oia & Fira

Discover the timeless beauty of Santorini as you explore its most iconic villages and panoramic viewpoints. Begin your journey with a visit to Profitis Elias, the island’s highest point, offering breathtaking views over the caldera, vineyards, and whitewashed villages.

Continue to the cliffside village of Oia (pronounced “Eee-ah”), perched at the northern tip of the island. Famous for its blue-domed churches, whitewashed architecture, and volcanic vistas, Oia is a haven for photographers and artists alike. Stroll through cobblestone lanes, browse local galleries and boutiques, and enjoy refreshments at a sunlit café overlooking the sea.

Next, explore Thira, Santorini’s lively capital. Admire its blend of Cycladic and Venetian architecture, visit the main square, and enjoy free time to shop, sightsee, or visit the Museum of Prehistoric Thera, which showcases the island’s rich archaeological heritage.

Your tour concludes in Fira town, where you’ll take the cable car down to the Old Port to board your tender boat back to the ship.
