| A great opportunity to explore the Archaeological Museum and some of Santorini's magnificent interior! |  |
Our bus will follow a route with a beautiful view of the Caldera on your right and with traditional villages to your left.
Since the Akrotiri site will be closed also during 2008, we'll start the tour at the excellent Archaeological Museum in Fira Town, where our expert guide will lead an interesting and informative tour through the museum.
Afterward, we'll visit the Prophet Elias Monastery, built on the highest point of the island in 1711 AD. The road to Prophet Elias passes through the famous vineyards of Santorini and the beautiful Pyrgos Village. The view from the Monastery is truly breathtaking, and we'll stay there for about 20 minutes so that you can take some extraordinary photos.
Next, we'll have the chance to admire the magnificent natural beauty of Santorini. First we take a drive to Faros, at the southern cape of the island, where the view to the Caldera is magnificent. We'll stop so that you can take some outstanding photos from this vantage point.
Our next stop, driving thriugh Megalochori, will be at Perissa, where we can swim and have lunch at Perivolos Beach.
To end the day nicely, we'll take you to a Canava (winery) that is located on the rim of caldera, with a panoramic view of the volcano. There you can sample some of the most excellent wines produced on Santorini. |
