Itinerary
Megalochori in Santorini is one of the most traditional villages of Santorini. It lies on a hill and is characterized as a labyrinth of steep alleys and streets. Unaffected by mass tourism, Megalochori retains its wonderful architecture.
Gavalas family winery, one of the oldest wineries in Santorini, lies in the traditional village of Megalochori. With proper respect to the local varieties, they are focused on limited production bottlings. Gavalas Winery vinifies the most vibrant variety in Greece, Assyrtiko, as well as Aidani, Mandilaria, and Mavrotragano. In order to show the richness of the land, they are the only winery in Santorini that vinifies the indigenous rare varieties of Katsano and Voudomato.
It is located in Megalochori village, near the charming little chapel of Agios Nikolaos. The spot offers some wonderful views, especially if you are looking for a less crowded place to watch the sunset and capture some Instagram-worthy pictures with your partner at one of the most romantic locations in Santorini!
Venetsanos Winery is located right above the port of Athinios, overlooking the magnificent caldera of Santorini. The Venetsanos family has a very long tradition of producing wine. Originally was produced for the island and subsequently, it was exported extensively, particularly to countries such as Russia. It was built in 1947 by the Venetsanos family and became the first industrial winery on the island. Its most distinguishing feature is the structural design, which essentially used gravity, facilitating energy efficiency, at a time when access to electricity and other energy sources was very limited. The winery was built in an unconventional manner constructed from above and moving downwards

About Santorini
Santorini is a crescent of volcanic cliffs in the Aegean, where whitewashed villages and blue domes look over a flooded caldera to famous sunsets.
The island is the rim of an ancient volcano whose eruption left a vast caldera filled by the sea. On its edge, Fira, the main town, and the clifftop villages of Imerovigli and Firostefani cling to the slopes, while Oia, at the northern tip, is celebrated for its sunset views over windmills and whitewashed houses.
Top-ranked sights in Santorini: Red Beach, White Beach, Santorini Volcano.
