Full description
Join this off-road tour and learn everything about the island’s culture. Your day starts when you're picked up from one of the designated collection points, which will be either your hotel, a point near your hotel, or a point near Santorini cruise port.
Your first stop will be the Profitis Ilias monastery. Situated 567 meters above sea level, Mount Profitis Ilias is the highest of all the mountains on Santorini, and will offer you a panoramic view to the whole of the island, where you can take some of the most amazing pictures. The tour continues to the Ventsanos Winery. Here for approximately one hour, you will discover the art of wine making, Santorini style. Enjoy a tour of the winery and a tasting experience. The winery's unique location provides the best panoramic view of the Caldera to enjoy the high quality of wines.
Next, you will head to the village of Akrotiri to visit the Lighthouse. Here, you'll be able to admire the geological formation of Santorini. Continuing the route off the main tourist trail, you'll discover the hidden beauty of Santorini. The English-speaking drivers will be on hand to make this a memorable day. Passing through the red and black beach via some local villages, you will reach the most traditional village of Santorini Pyrgos, well known for its lovely paths and of course the Venetian Castle. In Pyrgos, the lunch stop takes place in a local tavern, giving you the opportunity to taste the authentic Greek cuisine and the local wines. To close the day, you will return to your hotel via an asphalt route, full of memories of the authentic Santorinian way of life, its islanders, their history, religion and agriculture.
