  • Akrotiri Archaeological Site
    Uncover the myths and history of Santorini on a 5-hour guided tour of the Akrotiri excavations, a prehistoric Bronze Age city. During the Minoan volcanic eruption some 3,600 years ago, the city was frozen in time by ash that fell. Some speculate that this is the origin of Atlantis, a mythical town lost in time. Admire the elaborate drainage system, the sophisticated multi-storied buildings, magnificent wall paintings, excavated furniture, and vessels that show the former settlement’s great prosperity. Discover evidence of winemaking that has been estimated to date back to the 3rd Millennium BC, making Santorini one of the oldest winemaking regions in the world. Continue your wine discovery by strolling through the island’s basket vines at three wineries and learn about Santorini’s unique viticulture traditions. Taste a selection of 12 different wine styles from across Santorini and Greece, such as Assyrtiko, Nykteri, and the sublimely sweet Vinsanto wine.
  • Venetsanos Winery
    The Venetsanos Winery, which can now be visited, is the culmination of this rich family tradition with newly renovated buildings. The exceptional architectural structure is combined with the history of one of the most important wine producers in the Aegean Sea. The winery is located in the most breathtaking location, offering incredible views of the caldera and volcanic islands. The winery today offers you the opportunity to take a walk and get acquainted with the history and traditions, as well as with new wine production technologies. Our experienced staff will give you a detailed tour of the winery, as well as taste some of our exceptional wines.
  • Estate Argyros
    The beautiful and modern Argyros winery estate is located on the outskirts of Episkopi-Gonia, about 5.5 km southeast of Fira. Argyros' spacious tasting room with ocean views is located in the heart of their grape estate. As with most wineries in Santorini, the main grape variety produced and used here is the white Assyrtico grape, although Argyros is also used to make a delicious Aydani wine, and their ruby-red Mavrotragano received 93/100 Parker points in Wine Advocate.
  • Artemis Karamolegos Winery
    Artemis Karamolegos winery, rooted in the volcanic vineyards of Santorini and having a tradition of winemaking since 1952, is one of the most dynamic and rapidly developing wineries in Santorini. All his wines have been awarded at major international wine competitions. The winery has the most modern equipment for winemaking, special areas for wine tasting, a wine shop and selected local products. Today Artemis Karamolegou winery produces 10 different brands of wines. It makes the best use of the combination of a special microclimate with volcanic, calcareous soils offered by the terroir of Santorini, and “leads” Assyrtico, along with other local grape varieties, in the production of internationally recognized wines for their quality. The history of the winery goes back to 1952, when Grandfather Artemis cultivated his vineyards to produce wine that would satisfy the needs of his own family, and then sell it to the island and the rest of Greece.
