Private Sightseeing in Santorini By Night

Discover the island after dark, from Imerovigli's glowing cliffs to a glass of local wine at Santo Wines.


A private night tour of Santorini offers a completely different perspective of one of Greece's most celebrated islands, where whitewashed architecture, glowing streetlights, and caldera views combine into an unforgettable evening experience. You ride in the comfort of your own private vehicle, accompanied by a professional English-speaking driver who knows every corner of the island. This is Santorini at its most atmospheric.

The evening begins with a visit to Imerovigli, a hilltop village perched on the highest point of the caldera rim, just two kilometres north of the island's capital, Fira. At night, the village takes on a quieter, more intimate character, making it ideal for unhurried photographs and unhurried exploration of its narrow pathways.

From Imerovigli, the route winds through local streets where traditional vendors, authentic restaurants, and neighbourhood bars offer a glimpse into how residents experience their own island after sunset. The tour concludes at Santo Wines, the island's landmark cooperative winery founded in 1947, where sweeping caldera views and a glass of Santorini's celebrated wine provide a fitting close to the evening.

After the tour, your driver returns you directly to your accommodation, so there is nothing to arrange at the end of a long and rewarding night.
