As you wander through the prehistoric town, your archaeologist guide will reveal the myths and mysteries surrounding the place. Head over to the village of Emporio, and make a stop at the Cycladic architecture medieval fortress, dating back to the 15th century. The charming village, with maze-like streets and windmills adorning hilltops, creates a quaint scenery.

A visit to Santorini's traditional wineries is a must, where you can indulge in 3 types of wine and discover the secrets of its distinct flavors. Ascending the Profitas Ilias mountain will lead you to breathtaking views of the town from Santorini's highest point. From the hilltop village of Oia, the arresting panoramas of the island's agricultural plains dipped in sunset views make for a wonderful sight.
