Best guided tours and activities in Santorini

Santorini is one of the most breathtaking and romantic places in the world. The famous white houses, spread on top of cliffs immersed in the bright blue waters of the Aegean Sea, are an unforgettable sight. However, to truly appreciate the beauty of this Greek gem, I would recommend leaving your hotel for a day and joining one of the tours offered by numerous operators on the island. There are many ways to explore Santorini, and here we’ll take a look on some guided tours where you will learn a lot about the island, meet the locals and get to share their love of this magical place.

And there is no better way to do this than by joining the Eat & Walk Santorini Food Tour. Guided by local lovers of Greek food, this tour will take you from Firostefani to Fira along the caldera side footpath where you can enjoy the views as well as the staples of Greek cuisine. Local beer with Santorini meze, the best souvlaki in town and amazing moussaka are just a few of the delicious treats waiting for you on this tour.

If you see yourself as a chef, you can join one of the cooking classes offered on the island. Not only will you get to taste some delicious meals, you’ll also learn how to cook them, when you’re back home and decide to have a Greek night.

If you’re interested into more fast-paced activities, join a guided Jeep or ATV tour. Embark on a journey alongside the caldera, uncovering the hidden spots known only to locals. Drive along the black sand beach of Perissa, visit the Venetian castle in Emporio and have fun on the off-road paths on the way to Vlychada beach. Just be mindful of the Greek sun and make sure to stay hydrated and wear sunscreen. You don’t want those tan lines to show up in photos from your Santorini photo shoot! ;)

A great way to see the island from a different angle is booking a sailing trip on a catamaran. Catamarans are luxurious, double-hulled vessels that promise comfort and safety while cruising. From the moment you board the catamaran, you will experience luxury and serenity. The wide deck offers space to relax and enjoy the beautiful views all around. You have a choice between a daytime or afternoon trip, that ends with watching the stunning sunset while enjoying a meal prepared for you on board by your personal chef.

Setting sail on a catamaran, you can explore the most stunning places in Santorini that are inaccessible by land. From the small secluded beaches and caves, to majestic cliffs, volcano and the famous Red and White beaches, this journey will make you fall in love with Santorini and leave you wanting to return again and again!
