  • Pyrgos
    Begin your cultural journey in the village of Pyrgos. This hilltop town is home to a Venetian castle from the 16th century. Explore this beautiful region, which the natives built to fortify the area with narrow alleys and circular roadways. The settlement is surrounded by vineyards, blue-domed churches, tiny cave homes with lovely balconies, and pebbled walks.
  • Megalochori
    Continue to Megalochori, one of the most charming and beautiful towns on the island, where traditional Cycladic buildings are carved out of volcanic rock. Blue-domed churches, underground caves, and white-washed tower bells dot the landscape. Explore the winding streets of this non-touristy community, sip Greek coffee in the pebble-stone square, and engage with the residents' way of life and culture.
  • Emporio
    Then, visit Emporio, the gateway to another era and the island's commercial center during the Middle Ages. During the Middle Ages, the villagers of this town used to build their homes next to one another in narrow, picturesque alleyways to protect themselves from pirates. You'll feel good as you walk around the paths of the well-kept castle, which was built in the middle of the 15th century.
  • Akrotiri Archaeological Site
    Explore the Akrotiri Archaeological Site and travel back in time to discover the secrets and wonders of this long-lost ancient city. This 4,000-year-old Bronze Age town thrived for millennia. It was eventually buried beneath volcanic ash, which paradoxically worked to protect them from destruction. Wander around the old walls to see the 3-story buildings, well-preserved paintings, intricate drainage system, and other Minoan features. * Please keep in mind that our local tour guide/driver is not allowed enter and tour you inside the archeological
