Santorini, with its sculpted cliffs, volcanic beaches, and famous blue domes, is one of the most photographed and desired destinations in the world. But while most travelers admire its beauty from land or sea, few experience it from the sky. TPO.Travel’s “Santorini from Above and on Land: Oia, Helicopter Ride and Wine Tasting – Private Tour” offers a truly exceptional opportunity: to witness the island’s majestic contrasts from both the ground and air—all wrapped into a single, seamless luxury experience.
Crafted with discerning travelers in mind, this private tour blends iconic highlights, local charm, and once-in-a-lifetime views to present Santorini like never before.
The Signature TPO.Travel Experience
Known across Europe for offering curated, premium travel experiences, TPO.Travel specializes in seamless sightseeing, exclusive transportation, and high-end services that allow travelers to experience Europe beyond the surface. In Santorini, TPO.Travel elevates exploration by merging the island’s most beloved sights with a private helicopter ride and local wine tasting, creating a complete sensory experience.
From luxurious hotel pick-up in a private vehicle to the guided journey through the island’s heartlands and skies, everything is arranged with comfort and exclusivity at the forefront.
Begin with the Magic of Oia
Your tour begins in the iconic village of Oia, a postcard-perfect town perched on the northern edge of the caldera. Known for its whitewashed architecture, narrow alleys, and cascading cliffside homes topped with blue-domed churches, Oia is as close to a living painting as you’ll find.
You’ll have around 1 hour and 15 minutes to explore Oia at your leisure, guided or independently. Visit art galleries, step into local artisan shops, or simply take in the panoramic views of the Aegean and the volcanic islands. Whether you’re capturing photos from the famous castle ruins or sipping coffee at a cliffside café, the experience is serene, beautiful, and uniquely Santorini.
Fly Over the Aegean: The Private Helicopter Ride
After your time in Oia, you’ll be chauffeured in comfort to one of Santorini’s exclusive helipads. From here, your adventure takes flight—literally.
Your private helicopter ride offers an extraordinary bird’s-eye view of Santorini’s rugged terrain, crescent-shaped caldera, and volcanic legacy. It’s one thing to walk the winding streets of Fira or admire the red cliffs of Akrotiri; it’s something entirely different to see them unfold beneath you from above.
As the helicopter lifts off, you’ll witness the dramatic contrast of the island’s volcanic coastline, the geometric rows of vineyards, and the villages that cling like snow to the cliffs. Fly past landmarks like Black Beach, Red Beach, the Nea Kameni volcano, and the glittering villages of Imerovigli and Firostefani.
This aerial perspective is a rare privilege that only a few visitors to Santorini get to enjoy. It gives you a full appreciation of the island’s geological formation and its incredible natural beauty.
Touch Down for a Taste of Santorini
Once your helicopter tour concludes and you return to solid ground, the journey continues with a visit to one of Santorini’s top wineries. Nestled among volcanic soil and dry-stone vineyards, the winery welcomes you with open arms—and full glasses.
Your wine tasting session will include a sampling of Santorini’s most notable varietals, including the crisp and mineral-rich Assyrtiko, the floral Athiri, and the sweet, amber-hued Vinsanto. All wines are locally produced using traditional methods adapted to the island’s dry climate and volcanic terroir.
Enjoy the tasting alongside local cheeses, olives, breadsticks, and light bites that complement the wines beautifully. Whether you’re a casual wine drinker or an experienced oenophile, this tasting is both educational and indulgent—an excellent way to conclude your exploration of the island.
A Tour Tailored to You
The beauty of this private tour with TPO.Travel lies not just in the destinations, but in the freedom and personalization that come with it. With no rigid group schedule, you can explore at your own pace, ask questions, and truly connect with the guide and your surroundings.
