What people love about Santorini Tours
- Athens & Santorini Tour - 5 Days - Premium
Wow what a trip!! Athens is a magnificent place to visit and deserves a trip on its own but when you combine it with Santorini it becomes awesome! I liked the punctuality of the agency with the welcoming people who were at the airport to greet us and take us to our hotel (in the very center, mind you!) We would have liked a few more days in Athens but we knew it from the start. He meals were a delight and we were advised where to go and buy souvenirs without spending a fortune. Then, Santorini is a place like no other in the world. The caldera, the lovely pathways the rocks, it is like you're on a different planet. Travel zone got us tickets to the cruise. Then back to Athens for another full day. Our only regret is that we didn't book for a longer stay.

- Athens & Greek Island Santorini - 6 Days
Each part of our trip was punctual. All staff was friendly and helpful.
Travel Santorini your way
For those seeking to really get into Greek island life, our Explorer tours through Santorini and Athens hit all the right notes. Our travelers particularly love the mix of guided experiences and free time - you'll spend mornings exploring the Acropolis and ancient temples in Athens before having afternoons to wander the Plaka district at your own pace. The tours typically run 5-7 days, splitting time between the mainland and island. What makes these routes work so well is how they balance must-see highlights with local experiences. Our customers tell us they appreciate having airport transfers sorted both in Athens and Santorini, which takes away any stress about island connections. The premium options include centrally located hotels that put you right in the heart of both cities.

Top operators in Santorini
Based on the feedback we've collected, Travel Zone comes out ahead with their reliable service - travelers keep mentioning how the tours run right on schedule and the staff really step up when needed. Their Greece itineraries are smartly laid out too, which helps everything flow smoothly. I should note that Click Tours has hit some rough patches lately, mainly because they're quite strict with their booking rules and don't offer much wiggle room when plans change. Fez Tours knows what they're doing with transfers - you won't be left waiting around - and they've picked good quality hotels that our customers consistently rate well. But if you're looking for really personal service, Wanderful Holidays stands out. They've set up this great system where you can reach them anytime through WhatsApp, and travelers say it makes a big difference knowing they've got quick, reliable support when they need it. The reviews make it clear that Travel Zone and Wanderful Holidays are currently the stronger options, especially if you value good communication and well-planned trips. Fez Tours is also solid, particularly for the basics like getting you where you need to go and providing comfortable places to stay.

Private / Personalized
6 tours in SantoriniOur private tours give you complete control with your own guide and driver for 5-7 days. You'll have private transfers throughout and local experts meeting you in each place to share their insider knowledge. Our travelers really like having everything arranged but still being able to change things up day by day. Most tours split time between Athens and Santorini and you can add special experiences like private sailing around the caldera - imagine swimming at Red Beach and White Beach before having lunch cooked right on the boat. What makes these tours work so well is the personal attention and freedom to explore at your own speed with guides who can adjust things based on what interests you most.
Top Santorini travel itineraries to fit your plans
A week in Greece gives you time to really see both Athens and Santorini properly. Start with two nights in Athens exploring the Panathenaic Stadium, Temple of Zeus and also the Acropolis - you'll get a proper guided tour of its architectural heritage. Then it's off to Santorini for three full days to sink into island life. The volcano boat trip is a favorite extra - you can swim in thermal waters, try a mud bath and sail the caldera waters. You'll finish with a night back in Athens, which our guests say works perfectly for international flights. These longer tours blend historical sites, beach time and those Santorini sunsets that honestly look better in real life than any photo can capture.

Demographics
The 6-day Athens and Santorini combination works brilliantly for couples, and it's easy to see why. Your journey starts right from the Athens airport where a private driver meets you - no hassle with taxis or buses when you're ready to start your holiday. The tour strikes just the right balance; you'll explore the Acropolis and ancient sites with expert guides in the morning, then have afternoons free to wander and find your own special spots. In Santorini, we've picked hotels right on the caldera edge where those sea views are just part of your daily routine. The sunset sailing trips are a real highlight - you can jump into volcanic hot springs, enjoy a proper Greek BBQ on board and also watch the sun paint the sky. For evening walks through Oia, our guides know exactly when to take you; they'll time it perfectly for that golden light and show you the quiet corners where you can escape the crowds.
Young travelers really connect with our premium island-hopping routes; they're packed with authentic Greek experiences. You'll hike Santorini's volcanic rim then head to family vineyards where you'll learn traditional wine-making methods and taste the results. The Naxos cooking class is particularly special - you'll pick fresh ingredients from organic gardens and learn proper Greek cooking from locals who've been doing it for generations. We've chosen spots like El Greco Resort that put you right in the action, with several pools and quick access to Fira's bars and restaurants. Our travelers tell us they love having enough flexible time between guided activities to explore solo or join extra excursions like the volcano boat trips.
Our Classical Greece tours are perfectly paced for senior travelers who want to savor each moment. Private transfers throughout make everything smooth - especially arriving in Athens and moving between islands. You'll spend 2-3 nights in each place, giving you time to really get comfortable. Morning visits to the Acropolis and Olympic Stadium come with guides who make ancient history fascinating and relevant, while afternoons are yours to explore the Plaka neighborhood as you like. When you reach Santorini, you can choose what suits you - perhaps a calm sail around the caldera with lunch on board or exploring traditional villages like Megalochori where daily life moves at an easier pace.

Best time to visit Santorini
- Spring 2025
Spring brings perfect conditions for our mixed-activity tours. The popular routes blend archaeological visits in Athens with outdoor adventures in Santorini. Several itineraries start at the Panathenaic Stadium and work their way through central Athens before heading to the islands. Our guides time the Acropolis visits for early morning when spring flowers add color to the ancient stones. Once in Santorini, you'll find the caldera hiking trails in prime condition and the traditional villages coming back to life after winter. Many travelers tell us they love the spring sailing tours - you can actually swim at Red Beach and White Beach without summer crowds and the water temperature is already pleasant.

- Summer 2025
Summer sees our most diverse range of tour options in full swing. The premium packages include early morning Athens exploration before the heat builds, then afternoon cultural visits to the Plaka district. Several routes offer evening food experiences where you'll try regional specialties in local tavernas. In Santorini, the volcanic island tours run multiple times daily - our travelers particularly enjoy the morning departures when temperatures are milder for the crater walk. The sunset cruises are especially popular; you'll sail past black cliffs and white villages before anchoring near Oia for those famous summer sunsets. Many tours include optional beach time at Perissa's black sand shores and visits to family-run wineries where you'll learn how that volcanic soil creates such distinctive flavors.

- Fall / Autumn 2025
Autumn tours bring together the best elements of summer and winter. The classical routes start in Athens where you'll explore the Temple of Zeus and Hadrian's Arch without summer heat. Several itineraries include guided visits to the new Acropolis Museum where you can really take your time with the artifacts. In Santorini, our travelers particularly enjoy the fall hiking conditions - you can walk the entire caldera rim from Fira to Oia without overheating. The sailing excursions are quite special this time of year; you'll get to swim in multiple spots including the warm springs near the volcano. Our travelers often tell us they love how the evening light softens everything in fall, making those sunset photos from Imerovigli extra special.
