Santorini-Foto-Safari-Spitzenplätze

Here are the sites we were supposed to see based on the promotion from Viator:either correct the offering promotion and reduce the price or work with the driver to ensure everything that is promoted they know they are supposed to take you too and allow time. We didn’t spent an inordinate amount of time at any of the stops. When we showed him the itinerary of the tour he said you can never do that in the amount of time Viator has online. VIATOR Santori Photo Safari Tour be 15 minutes early 3:30pm -7:30pm 4 hour tour Meet at top of cable car. $429.76 (4 adults) $107.44 each 1. Red Beach: Red Beach’s landscape is truly unique: Dark blue waters, with the mountain towering above them, crimson and black, combining a unique landscape. This interesting and special morphological character puts the Red Beach among the fascinating shores in the world. 2. Lighthouse; beautiful panoramic views off the edge of a cliff 3. Vlychada Beach Maybe the most captivating beach on the island, Vlychada will give you the sense of being on a... trip to the moon. Long and covered with black, thick sand and crystal-clear waters that deepen suddenly - almost on your second step - while the majestic, tall, white rocks circling it bestow it with a lunar visage. 10 minutes • Admission Ticket Free 4. Castelli of Emporio Above the largest village of Santorini, Emporio, is the hill of Gavrilos. Along its ridge stands 9 traditional windmills. The hill offers a location with very beautiful open view, which is suitable for interesting pictures. 10 minutes • Admission Ticket Free 5. Megalochori - Traditional Village One of the most serene and beautiful gems of the island. Megalochori is a traditional little village that will steal your heart with its unique aesthetics. Here, everything seems to have leapt out of a painting, while respect to tradition demands everywhere absolute silence. 30 minutes • Admission Ticket Free 6. Monastery of Profitis Ilias The route to go to the monastery and enjoy the view of the island is amazing. As soon as you reach the end of the hill you notice that the whole island appears at your feet. It is the highest point of the island 10 minutes • Admission Ticket Free 7. Skaros Rock imerovigli .The view is unrivalled, with the cliff being so steep that it will often make your heart beat faster. 10 minutes • Admission Ticket Free 8. Oia's Main Street It lies around 30 minutes by road from Firostephani, and it will truly bewitch you being overwhelming indeed. The main road divides it into two territories: the one, towards Caldera, has impressive underground edifices, while the other is adorned with captain-houses (capetanospita). At the settlement’s side lies the castle, with its remaining parts offering unique views of the infinite blue and the famous sunset. 1 hour 30 minutes • Admission Ticket Free We chose this tour and paid more than others due to what we were going to be able to see. Our driver didn’t follow this script at all though when we got in the car with him he asked if we wanted to follow that and we said yes. He took us first to Oia.which was the last stop on the tour information and what we wanted. He then went to the red beach and a black beech but not the Vlychada Beach which we had hoped to see based on the description. After that my wife ask if we were going to see what was in the description of the tour. He read the description and said they put to many things in we can’t do all of that. We then asked about the Monastery and he said we could possible do that on the way back to the pier. All in all we did three things from the listed offering not the 8 promoted on the Viator site. We were very disappointed in the tour and would not recommend it. We felt like the couple with us and ourselves got ripped off from what we paid for. It was surprising to us the driver didn’t know what he was supposed to show us and some of them he didn’t even know where they were on the island. We had really hoped to see Castelli of Emporio and the largest village of Santorini, Emporio, including the hill of Gavrilos and its ridge with 9 traditional windmills (he said he didn’t know where they were), we also wanted to see lighthouse with it’s views. He said was too far to go see and said the view is just as good from here at the red beach. In looking at the map it was only a short distance from the red beach he took us too. Beware of this promotion and know that you may not see all of Santorini you bargained for. A once in a lifetime trip was shortchanged by Viator.

Christos was a great guide with lots of knowledge. A local to Santorini filled with information and great recommendations with a way to navigate crowds to help get the best photos. Made extra stops per our request and was very accommodating.

Our guide was extremely friendly and knowledgeable about the island. He went above and beyond to ensure we had an amazing adventure. I would recommend this tour!
