Activity description
Explore Santorini in a unique and adventurous way, discovering unpaved roads and hidden coastal caves via off-roads on a guided Quad-ATV excursion!
Santorini is a stunning Greek island located in the southern Aegean Sea, renowned for its breathtaking landscapes, whitewashed buildings, and stunning sunsets. The island offers a diverse and varied terrain, with towering volcanic cliffs, black sand beaches with crystal clear waters, ancient ruins, and vineyards. Explore the island on this unique tour!
The tour begins at the starting point in Perivolos, or you can be picked up directly from your accommodation in Santorini (please specify your location upon booking). You'll meet the experienced guide and receive a safety briefing. Each quad bike is shared between two, with one driver and one passenger (drivers must be at least 21 years old and hold a valid, physical driver's license). After getting prepared with the equipment (helmet and riding gloves), the adventure begins!
Following the guide, you'll start at the fascinating black sand beach of Perissa, which was created by volcanic activity. You'll follow the off-road paths to the historic village of Emporio, known for its well-preserved Venetian castle. Travel down the narrow streets of the village and admire the medieval architecture!
The tour continues past large windmills and through a vineyard farm, before you arrive at the traditional village of Megalochori. The village is home to historic churches, winding alleyways, and olive trees. After a short break, you'll visit the caldera, a submerged volcanic crater. You'll enjoy Greek coffee, juice or lemonade, and local snacks. After capturing some photographs of the caldera lying at your feet, the journey continues!
Riding along the coast, you'll reach small hidden caves and paths. The guide will take you to the Heart of Santorini, a picturesque photo stop consisting of a heart-shaped hole in a cave. A unique chapel is also found inside the cave. Take in the breathtaking views of the Aegean Sea before riding past Vlichada, another traditional village. You'll take the off-road paths to discover walls with rocks carved from the wind and sea.
The guide will share insights about the history of the Cyclades and Santorini throughout the tour. You'll end back at the starting point in Perivolos, where the guide can then transport you to your accommodation. After the tour, you can also enjoy a refreshing swim in the crystal clear blue waters of the black sand beach Perissa, which is a 5-minute walk from the base.
