What you will do
See the highlights of Santorini with a local
Locals always have the privilege of knowing "secret" places, fastest way to get somewhere, best tricks how to spend your time in the island better.
Combine your wishes with a driver's knowledge and find the optimal way of seeing the island.
Visit the places you came for
You may have a specific purpose of coming to Santorini, and we respect it. You may want to visit the Prophet Elijah monastery, to thank Panagia Episkopi (Virgin Mary of Episkopi) for the wonder, to go to a specific church or place, to relax far away from crowds - your “Taxi with a local tour” serves very well that purpose, too!
Absorb as much of Santorini as you can
You may feel shortage of time touring the island with a guide.
A taxi tour with a local gives you a freedom of choosing how much time you spend in each place, thus you may enjoy it better, especially if you like taking pictures, go for shopping or want to use your drone.

Meeting point
Know before you go
Individual cruise passengers disembark in Santorini by tender boats arriving only at the old port of Fira.
To find the exit of the cable car in Fira follow these steps:
• Take a tender boat from your cruise ship
• Once ashore, go to the cable car
• Paying a ticket of 6 Euros per person (one way) take a cable car ride up to Fira town (3 min.)
• Come out of the cable car building
• Behind the gate our guide or driver are waiting for you with Omega Travel sign with your name on it.
Only passengers arriving to Santorini in organized groups or acquiring shore excursions on board disembark at Athinios port. These travelers get off the ship first. All the rest are considered to be individual travelers and disembark only at the old port of Fira.
The donkeys are arriving to a different place in Fira, not to the cable car exit.
The stairs bring you next to the cable car exit but we strongly recommend to use the cable car for your comfort.
