By Henry Reynolds


Greece is one of the most picturesque countries to go to for vacation. A vast proportion of the revenue that it earns from tourism can be traced to the tours in Santorini, an island in the country. For years, many have known the location to be a tourism haven.

There are many great locations to explore in Santorini. Statistics have shown that the most popular tours around, at least during daytime, are the wine and boat excursions. There are volcanic calderas that are also a beauty to explore.

Most tour agencies require would be clients to make their reservations in advance. The period from June to September is the one that sees the highest number of bookings. This might be due to the great summer weather that the location experiences during that time of year. Fortunately, one can make his booking several weeks in advance to avoid the hustle that usually comes with last minute vacation planning.

One tour you should not definitely miss out on is a wine tour. It is the perfect opportunity to enjoy some highly exquisite wines made by the distilleries in the area. One wine that has quite a reputation in the locality is Assyrtiko. Most agencies package their wine tours to accommodate between two and six people at a time. It will be nice to enjoy an unhindered view of the sunset while sipping wine prepared using some of the most exotic grapes all over the globe.

If you plan to explore the natural formations such as calderas, volcanoes and hot springs, it is advisable to do so before the day breaks. Besides, only one or two agencies may be willing to go on evening tours, most likely by special request. Most visitors love to swim and snorkel after taking a tour of the surrounding areas. For a while now, the two most loved beaches have been White and Red Beach. Boat dinners are pretty popular to, and this is one that you might want to hold your breath for.

Some cruises are also known to be quite luxurious. A good example is the day cruise to Catamaran. Most vessels that head to the location offer unlimited drinks on board. In addition to this, clients who book luxury tours often get picked up straight from their hotels and are dropped off later in the evening. One mesmerizing natural feature to watch out for when on this tour is the caldera in the Catamaran area.

Private tours are pretty common among rich tourists. Despite their costliness, they are worth it. For one, you get a personal professional guide to give you a sightseeing tour of the entire island.

The locations that you should find in your package regardless of its classification include Pyrgos, Akrotiri and Oia. In particular, Oia is known to be the location of the most picturesque village in the whole of Santorini. If you are one to search for photos of a place before visiting, chances are most of what you will see in online photos are Oia. Akrotiri, on the other hand, is an abandoned town that was left in ruins due to volcanic eruption.
