Its name can be translated as " The Crown of Fira" because of its position on the highest part of Fira. Firostefani provides breathtaking views over the capital, the sea and the volcano. In this traditional village there are a few cozy restaurants, cafes, some shops and a mini market. It also offers some of the most impressive hotels of Santorini and some traditional rooms where you can combine serenity and relaxation with a vivid nightlife.

    Megalochori - Traditional Village

    Megalochori, a peaceful traditional village of Santorini with stone cobbled streets. It is located 9 km southwest of Fira. The permanent residents of the village are about 300. It is definitely worth spending an evening here in order to admire distinct buildings such as neoclassical houses,stately homes and old cave houses with solid wooden doors and high fences, which were used as a protection from the pirates. Another landmark of Megalochori is the elaborate steeples of the impressive churches,two of which stand at the center of the village. It is very famous for its vineyards and wineries. There are also two remote beaches on the Caldera side, both named after churches in the area,Plaka and Thermi beach. They are only accessible on foot or by boat.

    Gavalas Winery

    On the beautiful island of Santorinι after the volcanic eruption, the whole island was covered by a volcanic layer of volcanic ash and rocks. This is the reason why the vines thrive on the island and they have a great tradition in their cultivation. There are 16 different wineries on the island and we will visit one of them. You will taste 4 different varieties per person and you can also hear the history and learn about the local wines. This makes for in-depth knowledge and a more sociable experience. We choose the wineries with care and we usually prefer one of the 3 below. Gavalas winery, Argyros estate, or Santos winery. If the traveler prefers to visit another winery, he can discuss it with our tour guide.
