Continuing our tour, you’ll head to Pyrgos, an inland village that once was Santorini’s capital.

After we’ll visit the Akrotiri Lighthouse, one of the oldest lighthouses in Greece dating back to 1892, that offers captivating vistas over the island.

We will end our day in the best way we know, at one of the island’s most impressive wineries. Learn all about the world’s-oldest globally-known Santorini wines with the unique character and the harsh local cultivation techniques due to the distinct island’s volcanic conditions, and enjoy four glasses of local wine accompanied with a selection of local cuts and cheeses and mesmerizing views over the caldera.
