What I Am Santorini Does

“I Am Santorini” is truly about its people and their stories. Like locals all over Greece, Santorinians are famous for their exquisite hospitality, happy to share their customs and welcome you into the authentic local lifestyle of the Greek islands. Our private Santorini tours are built around exactly that spirit, so you experience the island the way we do, not the way a guidebook does.

On our Santorini day tours you will taste the island’s most delicious dishes. Above the Mediterranean diet stands the Greek one, and above that, the Santorinian. We know exactly where to take you to savour local recipes, fresh ingredients and the little secrets the tavernas do not put on the menu.

We are, at heart, a small team of storytellers who love people. Once you take one of our local Santorini tours, you will feel like part of the community, ready to discover the real Santorini through the eyes of a local.
