OUR HISTORY

Damigos Tours was founded in 1971 by Nikolaos Damigos, with the aim of introducing tourism to the highly promising
island of Santorini with its unparalleled raw beauty and its extremely interesting geological morphology.

Beauty and morphology, the two elements that the founder of D.T., Nikolaos Damigos, considered as particularly attractive, in order to pioneer the creation of a general travel agency and launch organized tourism on this wonderful volcanic island.

With the impetus given by this first travel agency (Damigos Tours) in Santorini, the first accommodations appear on the island.

Our office attracts the attention of major European tour operators who find their representation base in Damigos Tours for several decades, through which, excellent land and sea tour packages are organized, as well as unique entertainment nights for their clients.

With this vision, Damigos Tours continues to enrich its facilities on the island of Santorini, with the acquisition of the first professional coaches, with a well-trained personnel and with a wide range of organized tours and activities, while keeping on adapting to the new demands of its elevated clientele.

Moreover, the archaeological and geological significance of Santorini attracts the interest of world-renowned scientists (geologists, volcanologists, archaeologists, oceanographers, such as Jacques-Yves Cousteau), who trust D.T.’s readiness and experience in order to organize their research activities on the island.

At the same time, Damigos Tours continues to expand in other fields of tourism, as, in the representation of passenger ships, the issuance of airline tickets, the foreign money exchange, the planning of hotel packages, as well as the representation of major airlines -charters- which arrive on the island, offering them supervision and handling services.

After a while, D.T. turns its orientation towards another emerging market in the tourism industry,… the representation of cruise ship lines. International cruise line companies approach the island, seeking representation from Damigos Tours, which, up to this day, continues to successfully offer shipping and travel agency services at the port of Santorini, since it keeps providing the cruise industry with experience, dedication and efficiency as a guarantee for the delivery of high quality services.

Today, with its new dynamic composition and continuing to evolve its tourism and travel services through the restless search for new tourist activities, it discovers a new emerging travel trend, alternative tourism, always aiming to remain innovative, reliable and high on the demanding preferences of its customers.
