Prehistoric Museum, Oia Village and Winery Tour

Overview

Your tour begins in Fira, where you will visit the Prehistoric Museum, the second largest pre-historical museum in Greece.Your next stop is the village of Oia.

This traditional Greek village of whitewashed cubes is perched impossibly high on cliffs at the northwest tip of the island. Take in the stunning views of the island from one of the charming cafes or stroll above the rooftops of the homes carved into the cliffs and gaze into the deep blue waters of the caldera far below.

Your tour then takes you to one of the island's best wineries. Viniculture is an ancient art in Santorini, and the fact that vines thrive at all is amazing considering the fact that the island has limited water resources. Fortunately, the volcanic soil is an excellent medium for producing grapes, especially the Assyrtiko grape--a rare, white variety.
Here you will be given the opportunity to sample some of the region's most famous wines.

After your tour, you will be dropped off in the town of Fira, where you can take the Cable car back down to your tender boat at your leisure. The cable cars are busy, it's recommended you allow plenty of time to queue and take your tender boat back to your ship.
