Akrotiri Archaeological Site, Akrotiri, Greece 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. 40 minutes

We were driven by Fotios and he was brilliant! He was on time, friendly, funny and informative. He took amazing photos for us and told us all about Santorini.

Fotios Tsevas, our driver, made our evening magical. We booked small group wine tasting but ended up being a private tour. We visited 3 wineries with lots of cheese, olives, bread platters and 14 tastings. Fotios made the trip special by taking us to a viewpoint, the highest point on the island (monastery) before the wineries and after took us to a viewpoint to watch the sunset. Highly recommend!

I cannot recommend this tour or our tour guide, Mary, enough. The tour was the perfect balance of local history and culture, and delicious wine. Mary was so knowledgeable and passionate about Santorini; it made our day with her informative, engaging and incredibly fun. We had a fabulous day and would absolutely recommend you spend a day with Mary on your next trip to Santorini! (I will be back whenever she offers a Local Cats of Santorini tour :) )
