Shore Excursion: Customizable Santorini Tour

After getting of the ship, reach the top of Fira by cable car (at own expense) to meet your escort to begin your customizable tour. The escort will have an itinerary set for you, however you may change the schedule as you wish. For your first stop, the guide will suggest a trip to Prophet Elias Mountain, the highest point in Santorini. There, you will have a panoramic view of the island as well as the Prophet Elias Monastery. Next, head to the Akrotiri Excavations and admire the ruins of the Minoan civilization. The Red Beach is next to the excavations and open for you to take photos or swim.

Once you have finished your visit to the Red Beach, make a short stop in the black sand of Perivolos, where you may relax. Then, drive to Oia, with a short stop at "Santo Wines" along the way. At the winery, you will have the opportunity to taste local products, including the famous Visanto wine. Move on to the Blue Dome church in Firostefani, known for it's wonderful views of the volcano. Finally, arrive at the northern tip of Oia and enjoy sightseeing, grab some lunch, or shop for some souvenirs. Return to Fira town where you will take the cable car to move down to the Old port.
