What To Expect

Imerovigli

Your early wake-up call will be richly rewarded as we begin the day at our secret observation point in Imerovigli, often called the balcony of the Aegean. Here, perched atop the cliffs beside a serene blue-domed chapel, you’ll enjoy a rare double panoramic view—eastward to the rising sun and westward over the caldera. As the sky transforms with the soft hues of dawn, take in the peaceful majesty of Santorini awakening. Your guide will prepare a traditional Greek coffee (or a warm tea, if you prefer), accompanied by loukoumia, a sweet local delicacy that pairs perfectly with your morning cup. There’s truly no better way to begin your day than with this serene and breathtaking moment.

Enjoy ample time to capture postcard-perfect images and absorb the quiet beauty around you.

City Boat Tours wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through City Boat Tours over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
