We will drive you south parallel to the Caldera from Fira with direction to the port; first pass will be by the old mines where it is worth taking pictures of the volcano.
At the end of this straight, ascending to the right towards Akrotiri we enter the area of Megalohori. There are vineyards on both sides of the main road and we will make a stop to visit at least one of them.
We will take you to a tour that includes all main villages located on the top of the slope and overlooking the Caldera: Firostefani, Imerovigli and Oia. We begin our day from the main square in Firà and take the road towards the north and to the square of Firostefani, extension of Firà. It’s a village that rises along the edge of the slope, with restaurants, hotels and a charming church, Saint Gerasimus, framed by tall cypress trees, which is rather rare in the island.
We will take you on a short boat trip to visit Palea and Nea Kameni, the two small islands in the centre of the Santorini caldera, “the volcano” according to the locals, the youngest volcanic lands in the Eastern Mediterranean.
While on Santorini we will take you for a short boat trip to visit Thirassia Island. Thirassia was actually a part of Santorini in the distant past.
