The goal of this tour is to show visitors the beauty and the hidden treasures of this island and not just the touristic 'highlights'. After all, that's why you are booking this private tour.
The proposed itinerary is as follows -but it can always be customized to your needs-:
Start your tour to Prophet Elias Mountain, the highest point in Santorini where you can have a panoramic view of the island. Up there it is also located the Prophet Elias monastery.
Next stop will be Akrotiri Excavations which reopened in 2011. There you can admire the ruins and the whole Archaeological Minoan civilization. Near the excavations is the Red Beach, perfect spot to take some photos or swim if you wish.
After the Red Beach, short stop in black sand of Perivolos, where you can relax and enjoy the view of the beach. Then you will be driven
to Oia with a short stop at 'Santo Wines' at the highest point on the cliffs for more views of the caldera, the volcano and the whole island. In Santo wines winery, you will have the chance, if you want, to taste local products and the famous Visanto wine.
Next stop before Oia will be the famous Blue Dome Church in Firostefani, the one known from the post cards and travel guides, which is built at the edge of the cliffs at Firostefani with the great views of the Volcano. Do not forget to take some nice photos here as well.
The village of Oia will be our next and last stop, at the northern tip of the island featuring spectacular views, great sightseeing with traditional pedestrian roads, restaurants, jewel and souvenir shops for your shopping.
Our tour will end at Fira where you can spend your remain time before getting back to the ship.
The above tour takes approximately 6 hours in which you will see the whole island from the one end to the other. If you want you can make the tour 7 hours, in case you want to add lunch in a Traditional Tavern in Oia, or visit one or two more places.

Tips

Additional Info

Cruise traveler info:  Due to the fact that our port is not deep enough to host the big cruise ships that arrive from all over the world, the ships dock in the open almost next toour Volcano and from there, tender boats bring our guests either to the Athinios port or to the Old port which is called Old but it isn't.  Those who will choose a massive Santorini tour purchased from the cruise line, are taken to Athinios port that is 20 minutes from Fira and those who prefer a more comfortable and less stressful will be  taken to the Old port where there is no car access and the only 2 ways up are the donkeys and the cable car but you access Fira within 5 minutes.  Donkeys are fine but please note that they do not take you all the way up and you will have to walk for a while until you will  reach Fira our capital. I personally recommend you to get the cable car as it is a more comfortable way and allow me to say less smelly.
