Santorini Private Scenic Shore Excursion: Oia, Mt Profitis And Ilias Monastery
While you’re in the old port in Santorini, discover the beauty of the island on a private shore excursion. Firstly, you will enjoy a short ride with the cable car to ascend to Fira and board your private bus. Then, your private guide will lead you around the island on a scenic sightseeing tour, showing you rocky landscapes, vineyards and fabulous views of the beautiful coastline. Visit the highest peak of the island, Profitis Ilias, where a monastery of the same name sits. Discover the small village of Oia, built on a steep slope of the volcanic caldera, and wander around its little shops that offer traditional, handmade products. Then in Fira, the capital of Santorini, enjoy a short cable car ride to the pier.
