Santorini charm is in no short supply on this trip. Your first stop is the hilltop village of Megalochori. A higgledy-piggledy mix of blue-domed churches, whitewashed houses and winding alleyways, it showcases some of Santorini's most attractive architecture. We'll continue onto the highest point on the island, Profitis Ilias, and neighbouring Pyrgos to soak up the views. You'll get some time to explore Pyrgos' churches and well-preserved castle. Here you'll get to sample some of Santorini wine and some traditional Greek snacks. When you've had your fill, your return journey back to the ship stops at Thira, Santorini's capital and home of its famous cable car. You will return to the tender pick-up point by cable car but you will have the opportunity to explore Thira before boarding the cable car.
