The Venetsanos family, with a long tradition of winemaking, initially produced wine for the island before exporting it worldwide.

• Perissa Black Sand Beach - Known as the famous Volcanic “Black Beach,” this site was shaped by a severe eruption that not only transformed Santorini but also created its unique black sandy beaches, unlike any other in the Aegean.
