Santorini Day Tours Thira Wine & Vineyard

Explore the scenic island of Santorini starting at the whitewashed town of Oia nestled in the hillsides, reflecting on the deep blue colors of the Aegean. Enjoy a short walking tour to discover hidden parts of the village unknown to visitors and reach the ruins of Oia's castle ideal for postcard photos against the backdrop of the charming windmills.
After some leisure time for shopping or refreshments head south, to the island's highest point past Pyrgos village, where the Prophet Elias Monastery is perched at nearly 2,000 feet (565 m).
Light up a candle in the interior and admire the far-reaching vistas that span the entire region before sampling the extra virgin olive oil made onsite.

From there, head to the island’s countryside to admire the impressive landscape filled with scenic villages and rolling hills.
