What makes Private Santorini Half-Day Guided Tour with Horse Riding a unique experience ?
Fishing shelter
Vlychada is located on the south coast, just a short distance from the archaeological site of Akrotiri (the Bronze Age settlement) and it is one of the island’s most popular beaches thanks to its striking volcanic rock formations. The picturesque marina of Vlychada is a small round harbor in which sailboats, speed boats, and fishing boats find shelter. The port where all the sailing yachts try to moor is a fishing shelter, renamed to the marina. You will take unforgettable photos!
Tomato Museum
The museum is where the tomato factory used to be, founded by D.Nomikos in Vlichada. The historic factory was opened in 1945 by George Nomikos, the son of Dimitrios Nomikos, who was the first in Santorini to produce tomato paste with industrial means at a small pre-industrial plant in Messaria. On exhibit are a variety of interesting objects including processing machinery dating of 1890, documents, tools, labels, and old cans. The museum organizes workshops and fun activities for children. You can experience a journey to the past through a guided tour and witness the traditional methods of cultivation, processing and production of tomato. In addition, you may admire the various exhibits that date back to 1890; a collection that includes processing machinery, old tools and manuscript, the first labels ever used, as well as an audiovisual material with recorded narrations of people who worked at the factory that makes the visit worthwhile.
