Beschreibung

Santorini, beyond its breathtaking beauty, is a living testament to thousands of years of history. 6,000 years ago, the island was home to a highly advanced civilization, with the ancient city of Akrotiri standing as proof of their remarkable progress. The volcanic eruption that shaped the island also preserved stunning works of art and artifacts, offering a glimpse into the daily life of its inhabitants.

Santorini’s history continues through ancient and classical Greece, where it played an important role in trade and culture, becoming a key hub in the Aegean region. Later, the island passed through Byzantine, Venetian, and Ottoman rule, each leaving their mark on the architecture, traditions, and way of life of the locals. Every era added its own layer to the culture and heritage of the island, creating a unique and vibrant mosaic of history. Join us on a journey through the ages, from prehistory to the modern era, and let the history of Santorini take you through a land rich with memories, cultural heritage, and endless charm.

What to expect

Pick-up Your experience begins with a comfortable pick-up from your hotel or any location of your choice. From there, we’ll head deep into the authentic heart of Santorini, far beyond the typical postcard views.

1st Stop: Ancient Thira

Step back in time to the 8th century BC as we explore the abandoned city of Ancient Thira. Wander through the remnants of temples, marketplaces, garrison houses, schools, and theaters. Trace the lives of those who once inhabited the island’s ancient capital and discover the rich history and culture of Santorini.

2nd Stop: Episkopi Church

Our next stop is the impressive church of Episkopi, an exceptional example of Byzantine architecture dating back to the 10th century AD. Listen to captivating stories about the Greeks’ transition to Christianity, the origin of Christmas on December 25th, and much more, as our guide reveals the spiritual evolution of the island.

3rd Stop: Akrotiri Village & Prehistoric Excavation Site (including Red Beach)

We begin in the traditional village of Akrotiri, where we'll explore the Venetian Castle. Stroll through the narrow alleys—once part of an old defensive system—that lead to the citadel, formerly the mayor’s residence. Enjoy panoramic views of the village and hear tales of sieges, pirates, and long-lost civilizations.
Next, we visit the impressive prehistoric archaeological site of Akrotiri, one of the most important excavations in the Aegean. The tour ends with a photo stop at the breathtaking Red Beach.

Drop off: At the end of the tour, we will return you comfortably and safely to your original pickup location.
