About this experience

Just like Santorini's donkeys, we'll navigate the narrow paths of quaint villages, meandering along curved walls and beneath church bell towers. We'll admire the islanders' skill in transporting goods up and down the steep stairs, and watch as local households open their petite windows and doors. Island cats will nuzzle our feet, begging for food, while a bougainvillea bush showers us with its blossoms. After this sensory delight, we'll visit the historic Tomato factory. Santorini's cherry tomatoes will narrate their tale as we explore rooms transformed into galleries. Our tour will culminate at a renowned winery, or canava, where we'll gain insights into winemaking. Our journey concludes with a scrumptious meal at a local tavern.
