Overview
Why not spend half a day enjoying a private tour of Santorini?
This is a fantastic choice for those who really want to explore Santorini in a short amount of time and experience the main highlights. It is a great opportunity for you to specifically ask the driver to take you to certain places within the Santorini area.
The first part of this tour involves making your way to the Port of Fira, this can be done in two ways; either by cable car (at a cost of approximately 10 Euro per person) or by donkey. Both methods of transport will take you to Fira's Cable Car exit. This is the point at which you will meet your driver.
Once in your vehicle, let your driver know your preferences for your tour; or you can let your driver choose! There's a lot to see on the island, take a look at some ideas; so you can really maximize your time ashore!
Fira, the capital city has whitewashed narrow houses in long alleyways and very steep streets, it also has an Archaeological Museum. It is known for many hand-made goods, such as; jewelry, wine, tomato paste, sun-dried tomatoes, rugs and embroidery.

Oia: This is known to be home to some of the best cuisines on the island, there are also many unique and top-quality jewelry stores here.
