Discover Santorini — 5 Hour Private (South Side)
The half of Santorini most tours skip — Pyrgos, Akrotiri, the Red Beach, the Black Sand of Perissa.
Most tours focus on Oia and the north. This route does the opposite — the medieval village of Pyrgos, the Akrotiri archaeological site, the cliff-rimmed Red Beach and the long black sand of Perissa.
The best route if you've already done the cliffs and want to see the island's older, quieter side.
