The white houses and blue domes of Santorini above the caldera, Greece

Fira and the Famous Blue Domes

After pick-up near the port, your friendly English-speaking guide takes you up to Fira, the lively capital of Santorini, perched dramatically on the edge of the volcanic caldera. In neighbouring Firostefani you admire the island’s most photographed sight – the famous blue-domed churches set against the deep blue of the Aegean Sea.

Oia and Panoramic Views

The tour continues to the enchanting village of Oia, with its whitewashed houses, narrow lanes and world-famous sunset views. From the Prophet Elias hill, the highest point on the island, you enjoy a sweeping panorama over the whole of Santorini and the sparkling sea below.

Winery, Volcano Views and a Black Beach

A stop at a traditional winery rewards you not only with the option of tasting the island’s distinctive volcanic wines, but also with a spectacular view over the volcano in the middle of the caldera. Finally you visit one of Santorini’s striking black-sand beaches, formed by the island’s volcanic past, before the tour ends in Fira close to the cable-car station.

This private Bakadi Dreams excursion runs at a relaxed pace, with a guaranteed return to your cruise ship in good time.
