History and Culture

Take a guided tour through one of the most significant archaeological sites in Greece, the excavated Minoan city of Akrotiri abruptly abandoned by its residents about 6,000 years ago and frozen in time by the volcanic eruption, a site often referred to as the “Bronze Age Pompeii”. Round up your historical experience by visiting the museums in the main town of Fira: The Archaeological Museum and the Museum of Ancient Thira (the original name for Santorini), where the brightly-colored wall frescoes that survived the destruction of Akrotiri are displayed.

Insider’s tip: In spring time, during the Good Friday celebrations of the Greek Easter, the picturesque village of Pyrgos is lit up by hundreds of self-made beacons placed on the rooftop of every house in the village. Take the opportunity to experience this fantastic event and become part of the traditional rituals of the local culture.

Fine Dining and Wine Tasting

Food is a main ingredient of the Mediterranean lifestyle and as such it is gloriously celebrated in Santorini’s award-winning venues, led by the world’s most renowned chefs, as well as in local taverns offering fresh fish and traditional dishes. Whatever you are looking for we will guide you to the island’s best restaurants. Owing to its volcanic soils, wine tradition in Santorini dates back to the ancient times and during the Venetian rule the island exported some of the most expensive wine in Europe. Today, Assyrtiko, a citrus and mineral flavored white wine, and Vinsanto, a sweet dessert wine, both made from the indigenous grape varieties of Santorini, continue to fascinate wine lovers. We urge you to take a tour in one of the island’s vineyards and indulge in a mesmerizing trip of wine-tasting accompanied with local delicacies.
