Experience beautiful highlights of Santorini, while immersing yourself in the culture and savoring the distinct local tastes.  

Cost & Dates

  Set your calendars. Tours begin on the first Sunday of each month. Please note availability and pricing varies according to date. Santorini has so much to see and explore that one could lose himself on the island for days and not satiate the need to experience more. This volcanic island, which has unearthed settlements from 4,000 years ago, captivates with its rugged beauty, entices with its warm hospitality, and tantalizes with its rich flavor. The tour is specially crafted for travelers looking to enjoy seven days of sun and relaxation, ladled with history, art, and culture. Not many places can offer all of this rolled into one week. Santorini does! The good weather of this southernmost Cycladic island allows for comfortable enjoyment of excursions throughout the year. However, in July and August the thermometer can climb rather high, therefore activities requiring more that a touch of physical exertion are scheduled for early morning hours. This tour demonstrates Greece’s blending of all eras of history with modern life in every step along the way. This week-long journey is an opportunity to saunter a bit farther into the details.
