Description:
We reach our first destination in the southern part of the island, the 16th century Monastery of Prophet Elias. The Monastery is built on the highest point, 565 meters above the sea level, offering a breathtaking panoramic view of the whole island! Akrotiri archaeological site is our next destination. With the help of our guide, you will discover one of the most important prehistoric settlements of the Aegean. Wine culture follows, with a visit at a local winery. You will have the chance to taste different local wines and have a mini tutorial on the particular characteristics of Santorini vineyards.
We will continue the bus tour with a visit at Fira, the capital of Santorini. Sharing all the architectural beauty of a town built on the Caldera cliffs, Fira remains the cultural and commercial center of the island. As the day passes, we will move to Oia village, the most famous place of the world to see the sunset.
Oia sunset is an all-time inspiration for artists. The colors when the sun sets into the sea showcase the beauty of the landscape and the architecture, composing a unique atmosphere. After the sunset we’ll return to the pick-up point of the excursion.
