• Akrotiri Archaeological Site - Explore the legends and history of Santorini on a 5-hour guided tour of the Akrotiri excavations, an ancient Bronze Age city.

Discover evidence of winemaking dating back to the 3rd Millennium BC, establishing Santorini as one of the oldest winemaking regions globally.
