A pleasant and educational morning and early afternoon

Published on Jun, 2024

Had a wonderful time at the sites, enriched by the information from our guide Tasos. His itinerary was well thought out, helping us avoid the worst of the heat. The licensed archeologist at Akrotiri really brought the city to life as well, and the museum was a good 45 minutes of air conditioned historical appreciation.

Fantastic!

Published on Oct, 2023

Tasos was an incredible guide. Pickup in Oia, communication and narrative were excellent. The venues were stunning. Ancient Thira was breathtaking for mountain top scenery and extensive ruins you walk through. The small museum in Fira has many of the artifacts and frescos recovered from Akrotiri - take the time to notice the frescos and the unique finds - they will be discussed and located by your guide in Akrotiri. Then Akrotiri - wow. The scale and age of what has been uncovered is surreal. Our guide Giannis is an archeologist and was outstanding. Overall - a fantastic tour, well operated and interesting. Highly recommend.

Highly recommend this tour!

Published on Jun, 2023

One of the best tours we have ever taken, anywhere around the world. Guide Ted was knowledgeable about everything on Santorini and our archeological guide at akortiri was fantastic also. First rate customer service. Trip to Thira ruins on mountain is a lot of walking, but worth it as the ruins are as good a site you will see almost anywhere. Akortiri was unbelievable. Highly recommend!
