The Sunset Run
Five hours, timed backwards from tonight's sunset.
Pyrgos for the height, Imerovigli for the quiet, Oia for the moment everyone came for — timed backwards from tonight's sunset.
- Pyrgos village & the old castle lanes
- Prophet Elias — the highest point on Santorini
- Imerovigli & the Skaros rock viewpoint
- A caldera winery stop for a glass at golden hour
- Oia — parked, walked in, in position before the crowd
The sun sets over Oia at 19:57. Pick a village and this line works out when we leave.
We pick you up from your hotel door. The order of the stops is a suggestion, not a rule — if you want to stay somewhere longer, we stay. The van is yours for the whole time, air conditioning, water and all.
The name that keeps coming up is the driver’s.
Word for word from our Google profile, where we hold 5.0 stars. Swipe through them — and if we drove you, add yours.

Wonderful service. Spent 10 days in Santorini and didn’t use another company at all, Vaggelis is a lovely guy and so helpful, even came to find us when we got ourselves lost! Will not hesitate to use them again when we next visit

Vaggelis was amazing! When he first picked us up from the ferry during a heatwave, he had bottles of water for us, helped us with our luggage, and made sure we were all comfortable. He is very knowledgeable about the area, and gave us great recommendations of places to see and things to do. We booked with him a couple more times while we were staying in Santorini and were so happy that we did! Wonderful service, super helpful, and extremely kind. So glad to have met him!

Vaggelis and his crew were amazing with my family while staying in Pyrgos. He arrived early at the airport and waited an extended period to pick us up. We had no phone service to contact him and would have been stranded had he not. Our flight was late and we were slower than expected making our way to him. Most people would have left us high and dry. Throughout our 5 days he and his staff never failed to exceed our expectations, even refusing the tips we offered him, understanding that we had already spent a fortune on our trip. Instead, he treated us like family. We were delighted by his pleasant disposition and his kindness was beyond refreshing. We hope to return the favor some day.

Our experience with the service was great! The driver arrived quickly after ordering through the app. He was super friendly and we had a really nice chat. We even requested him specifically a few times after that. He’s trustworthy, honest, and has a great sense of humor. Thank you.

Is The Sunset Run private?
Yes — the van and the driver are yours for the whole 5 hours. No other guests, no fixed departure, no minimum group. The price of €300 covers two people; each extra guest is €40.
Can we change the stops?
That is the point of booking privately. The list above is what most guests choose; say what you would rather see and we build the route around it the morning of the tour.
What time do we start?
Usually around 19:40, because that is when the light is right for this route — but the start time follows the sunset, so it shifts through the season. We tell you the exact hour the day before.
Are entry tickets and tastings included?
The vehicle, the driver, the fuel and the waiting are included. Museum tickets and winery tastings are paid on the spot at their own counters — we never mark them up.
Arriving or leaving on the same trip? The transfer is a fixed price too.
