Insider tips
- ★Book an early morning departure to beat crowds at Oia and Akrotiri, then relax on a beach in the afternoon heat.
- ★Request the driver stop at a family-run taverna in a quieter village rather than tourist-packed Fira for authentic lunch.
- ★Combine Akrotiri (1.5 hours) with Mount Elias Monastery (30 mins) to see both ancient and Byzantine history in one tour.
- ★Ask your driver for recommendations on lesser-known viewpoints and local wineries—they often know hidden gems not listed online.
