Santorini to Thirasia: Caldera Views, Timeless Villages and Boutique Wine Experience

Overview

Begin your journey in Fira, where you’ll meet your local driver and set off toward Firostefani for a breathtaking panoramic stop at the iconic Three Bells, one of Santorini’s most photographed viewpoints.
Continue to the picturesque village of Oia, where you’ll have time to wander its charming streets, admire the dramatic caldera, and take in the island’s world-famous scenery.

From there, descend to Ammoudi Port and board a ferry to Thirasia, Santorini’s quieter sister island.
Shaped by a powerful volcanic eruption centuries ago, Thirasia remains untouched by mass tourism, offering a rare glimpse into authentic Cycladic life.

Upon arrival at Riva Port, your local guide Nicole will welcome you warmly and share stories, traditions, and insights from a different era, preserving the island’s soul through lived experience.
The adventure continues with a scenic walk along an asphalt road toward the island’s first boutique winery, Mikra Thira (optional minivan transfer available).
At Mikra Thira Winery, enjoy a guided vineyard and winery tour, exploring the production, bottling, and aging areas.
Guests of legal drinking age will savor a curated wine tasting accompanied by pairing suggestions, all while overlooking the volcanic landscape that gives these wines their distinctive character.

Next, step back in time with a visit to an abandoned settlement once inhabited by cave-dwelling communities in the 14th century.
A short hike across volcanic terrain (optional transfer available) leads you to stunning viewpoints of the caldera, offering a powerful cultural and historical perspective.

This truly one-of-a-kind experience weaves together iconic views, hidden islands, local stories, ancient history, and unforgettable landscapes, leaving you with images, tastes, aromas, and memories that will stay with you long after your journey ends.
