About this excursion
Santorini is the southern island of the Cyclades, with an area of 76 km square and a coastline of 70 km long. Many legends take place on this island, as it is called the "Lost Atlantis" or the "Pompeii of the Aegean". Around 1450 BC, as a result of powerful volcanic explosion, most of the island sank into the sea, shaping the island as warped crescent, with a steep cliff (altitude 300 m) in the western part and gently sloping beaches in the east.
You will visit the towns of Oia and Fira, famous for its beautiful white houses and stunning views. Optionally, you can take a boat trip to the volcano (extra charge).
You will have the opportunity to learn the fascinating history of this amazing place, take unique photos, and buy souvenirs! You will spend 6 hours in total on Santorini island. The tour will be by air-conditioned bus with free time in each of the stops. You will spend 2hours 15 minutes on the ferry each way.
