Rustic Ruins & the Quaint Village Charm

The ancient site of Akrotiri, the Pompeii of the Aegean Sea, is a Minoan Bronze Age settlement that was buried by volcanic ash in the 17th century BC. As you wander through the prehistoric town, your archaeologist guide will reveal the myths and mysteries surrounding the place. Head over to the village of Emporio, and make a stop at the Cycladic architecture medieval fortress, dating back to the 15th century. The charming village, with maze-like streets and windmills adorning hilltops, creates a quaint scenery.

Black Sand & Orange Sunset

Break for lunch at the island's most popular black sand beach, Perissa, and dip your toes in the warm sands as you take a walk along the coast. A visit to Santorini's traditional wineries is a must, where you can indulge in 3 types of wine and discover the secrets of its distinct flavors. Ascending the Profitas Ilias mountain will lead you to breathtaking views of the town from Santorini's highest point. From the hilltop village of Oia, the arresting panoramas of the island's agricultural plains dipped in sunset views make for a wonderful sight.
