What to expect
Start your tour with an introduction to the unspoiled countryside culture of Santorini. Enjoy a panoramic drive to the highest point of the island, where the Monastery of the Prophet Elijah (Profitis Ilias) stands. Embrace the essence of Greek orthodoxy, send your prayers in the monastery's chapel, and take a moment to taste the unique flavors of local products, handmade by the monastery's devoted monks.
Admire Pyrgos from the outskirts, with its numerous blue dome churches and white houses, embracing the highest hill, where this village is built
Then, at a local marketplace, sample the freshness of farm-to-table products, from creamy "fava" paste to tangy cherry tomatoes. Take an insider peek into an underground "canava" or wine cellar, witness the intricate process of winemaking and refresh your palate with its exquisite taste.
Akrotiri
Apart from having some of the best views on the island which reach as far as Oia, Akrotiri is also home to some of Santorinis jewels, the Akrotiri Excavations, Akrotiri Venetian Castle, Akrotiri Lighthouse and Red Beach.
Don't miss the chance to capture an awe-inspiring shot of the Caldera, perfectly framed by the Akrotiri's lighthouse.
Windmills of Emporio
Finally, as the evening draws near, your journey will culminate at a secret spot - a favorite among locals. Here, amongst the ancient windmills on a quiet hill in the south, you will witness the most mesmerizing sunset, a spectacle that will etch itself in your memory forever.
