Description:

Explore some of the charming lesser-known towns and villages on Santorini, as your guide reveals the mysteries of deserted ruins and the stunning sights of Pyrgos. Pause at a local vineyard for an awe-inspiring view of the caldera, and admire a magnificent sunset from the hillside at Oia.

Your day begins with a visit to the oldest church on the island—Panagia Episkopi—which was built in the 11th century during the reign of Byzantine emperor Alexios Komnenos. Continue to Mesa Gonia, where ruins lie respectfully untouched since the last major earthquake in the region. Wonder at the diversity of architectural design in Pyrgos, where Byzantine churches, a Venetian castle, and Cycladic buildings are all on display.

Stop at the Santo Winery for panoramic vistas that look out over the region. Gaze in awe at the deep blue of the Aegean Sea that contrasts charmingly with the whitewashed buildings. Complete your tour at Oia, where you pick a spot to settle in and absorb the vibrant colors of a classic Greek sunset.
