Description:

Discover the nearly lost history of Santorini in the ash-covered town of Akrotiri. Explore the town's famous excavations before spending the afternoon sipping crisp Santorini wine on visits to 3 local wineries.

Begin your day with hotel pickup before being whisked away to the stunning countryside of Santorini. Uncover legends of the island with an in-depth guided tour of the Akrotiri excavation. Learn about this Bronze Age city, frozen in time by ash that fell during a volcanic eruption 3,600 years ago. Admire the ruins, frescoes, and stunning ceramic artifacts as you wander through the site.

Continue your tour with a visit to 3 local wineries, where you can learn about the production of its local wines and see the process from grape to glass. Sample a fine selection of 12 different wines, including Assyrtiko, Nykter, and even sublimely sweet Vinsanto wines.

With a platter of local delicacies—cheese and olives—to enjoy, as well as some of the most attractive countryside views in the Mediterranean, this tour is a simple, yet informative, way to while away a few hours.
