Itinerary

Akrotiri Excavations Archeological site

See the excavations of the prehistoric town in Akrotiri which was created in the fifth millennium BC and then was covered with ash after the eruption of the volcano around 1500 years BC. The volcanic ash, by covering the whole city, kept the biggest parts of this area protected and now it is possible to walk inside the city and also see the wall paintings and some furniture vessels.

Red Beach, Akrotiri

The volcanic Red beach of Santorini is located on the South part of the island at the village of Akrotiri. This beach is a unique outcome of the volcano’s eruption around the 16^th Century BC. The red lava stone behind the beach creates an astonishing blend with the black sand and the crystal blue water. The way to reach the shore is uneven and rocky which makes it a bit dangerous sometimes to get there, but you can find a fantastic spot on the top of the beach to admire and take extraordinary pictures of this amazing natural creation.

Lost Atlantis Museum

Experience the great eruption, one of the biggest events of the prehistoric Mediterranean! Feel the earthquake and tsunami with all your senses and see the destruction of mythical Atlantis, in a 9D experience.

Frequently asked questions and tips

What happens if there are kids or elders and do we have to be in a good physical shape?

Every one of our drivers is a professional, knows how to modify every different tour and to handle special requests depending on the type of participants to make an unforgettable enjoyable experience for them.

What kind of clothes and shoes is needed to wear?

It is recommended to wear easy walking shoes because there are some specific areas where you may need to walk on uneven or rocky ground and comfortable clothes to feel relaxed and cooler especially during the summer months. Also if you are interested in visiting some religious monuments, please dress appropriately.

What is the private sightseeing tour?

The private tour is hiring a car and a local assistant for a few hours to go and explore the island. But with “Cozy pickups” you will not only have a well- trained professional driver, but you will also have the opportunity to learn some very interesting information about the heritage, the culture and history of Santorini from a “friend”

Useful tips:

During the summer time in Greece there are high temperatures and the sun is very hot. We recommend that you wear sunglasses, sunscreen and possibly a hat to protect yourself. In every one of our sightseeing rides we offer bottles of fresh water for every individual to stay cool and hydrated.

The transfer arrived on time in a spacious and luxurious vehicle. Driver was polite and navigated narrow streets and busy traffic with ease. We were so impressed we used them three more time

Giannis was perfect, he picked us up from the airport straight to our hotel with safety and nice air-conditioned car. Gave us a lot of recommendations too. Definitely recommended!!!

Elena is a fantastic local guide. We arrived late due to tender issues with our cruise ship. She stayed in contact with us the whole time and met us at the top of the funicular. Where we were short of time she amended the tour so we could see some of the highlights and then brought us to a local restaurant which was fantastic. Elana was professional and very knowledgeable. Thank you for making our limited time a memorable one. Highly recommend!

Angelos picked us up from the airport in a nice transport van with comfortable seats, air conditioning and friendly service. Gave us some good tips for things to do and see in Santorini. He also collected us a week later for our return home, it was lovely to get a perspective of life in Greece and to share information on all the restaurants and places we had visited. Highly recommended perfect service.

Impeccable service, our driver Denis He was patient, kind, friendly, truly exceptional. Upon arrival at the airport he was already there and accompanied us with great care to the best photographic spots of Santorini and the most characteristic villages of the island, and at the end of the tour after taking us to the beach, he took us back to the hotel where we were staying. Highly recommended for the quality and the very competitive price compared to others I had found on the Internet.

Ease of booking, excellent communications throughout, and flexible arrangements before and after disembarking at Santorini merit a five star review. Commendable.

A gem of a tour for a gem of an island! From the booking to the drop off at the end of the tour, this was one of our best experiences in Greece. Dionysis was an amazing guide for us on this tour. Being local he was able to answer all of our questions and took us to such a variety of places on the island. Of course we saw all the sights we were familiar with but we also were able to visit some of the smaller villages. We had a lovely lunch and really enjoyed our time with him. Santorini is beautiful! Even a cloudy day couldn’t hide the beauty. This was a must do for us and we couldn’t recommend it more! Cozy Pickups was so easy to work with and we are so glad they were recommended to us by a friend.

WOW! Absolutely one of the best pick up service received! I travel a lot and use many pick up services but this is one of the best services and on top of it, best car as well. I would not hesitate to recommend this company to others. Don’t even compare. You won’t regret using these guys!

Absolutely outstanding service from this company. Our Ferry came in late within to the port and it was not a hassle at all.We were greeted by Elena and her driver who were extremely informative about the does and don'ts. Our driver was exceptional and made a journey from the port to our accommodation more than comfortable. Cannot highly recommend this company more if I tried. We will be booking with them again.

I used Cozypickups to airport pick up in Santorini and for airport drop off. Confirmation was quick and the dashboard was great. We had Jesse as a driver for both pick ups and he was early waiting for us both time and communicated with us through WhatsApp. He was so friendly, informative and his energy was amazing even at 6am in the morning! I would recommend this service as it gave me peace of mind and I hope all of your drivers are like Jesse because he was that made a difference. We used a different company for airport pickup in Athens and the driver experience was night and day!

In advance we had booked this cab, because of the good reviews, for a transfer to kamari. We arrived earlier than I had indicated, but the driver already called that he was ready when we walked into the hall and had to get the suitcases. Top notch arrangement!

I would highly recommend this taxi service! It's a great bonus that they are able to communicate via WhatsApp in English very well - this made booking trips super easy! They are a fair price, the same price or slightly cheaper than all other taxi services we used. Our driver, Jessy, was so awesome! Super friendly! I would chose Cozy Pickups over other taxis services on the island for sure - they were our favourite!

This is the perfect transport service while in Santorini both for airport transfers and getting around the island. Its so easy to contact them in English on whatsapp and the responses are super fast. They picked us up from many different places all over the island with little notice. Jesse, our driver most of the time was super friendly, informative and we had a blast hanging with him. The cars and vans are kept super clean and they're on time. In addition, they offer other boat tours, etc so a great one stop service while in Santorini that I can't say enough nice things about.

Magnificent service! At 6 am we were picked up at the airport and in 4 hours we did a complete tour of the whole island. Our guide Theo was very professional, he made the trip very enjoyable with his explanations. The tour was perfect, he took us to the best places to have the best photos and views of all the attractions of Santorini, being very friendly and always looking forward to give us the best service. We will definitely recommend this company to our friends when they come to Santorini and if we come back, we will repeat. Thank you very much for making it so easy for us!!!

Exceptional drivers and extremely friendly staff! I could not have asked for a better choice! The drivers were always on time and recommended us the best places to visit on the island. They were all very polite, respectful, and willing for a 24/7 pick-up. The cars were spacious and comfortable, the music was so calm and we enjoyed the rides all around the island! I highly recommend it!
