About This Tour

Join us for an enriching adventure that seamlessly integrates Santorini's historical depth, natural beauty, and exceptional wine culture, on a captivating excursion that takes you through Santorini's storied history, from the iconic volcano to Prehistoric Thera and the myth of Lost Atlantis.

Akrotiri Excavations

Your journey begins with a guided exploration of Akrotiri, the prehistoric town that inspired the Lost Atlantis legend. Buried under volcanic ash from the massive eruption of 1612 BC, which devastated the Minoan civilization, Akrotiri reveals well-preserved paths and buildings that offer a glimpse into ancient Greek life. Your licensed guide will provide detailed insights into this fascinating historical site. (Every Monday and Thursday, Akrotiri closes at 15:30.)

9D Eruption Experience

Experience the monumental eruption, one of the most significant events in prehistoric Mediterranean history, through an immersive 9D simulation. This interactive experience allows you to feel the earthquake and tsunami as if you were there, vividly bringing the destruction of mythical Atlantis to life.

Volcano and Hot Springs Cruise

Set sail from the port and arrive at the volcanic bay, where you can hike to the summit and view the active craters. Continue to Palea Kameni Island for a relaxing dip in the hot springs, with temperatures ranging from 30 to 35 degrees Celsius. Afterward, cruise to Therasia Island for an exceptional wine tasting experience.

Therasia Island Wine Tasting & Traditional Lunch

Visit a local winery on Therasia Island and immerse yourself in its volcanic vineyards and winemaking traditions. Accompanied by a knowledgeable wine guide, explore the vineyard and learn how the island's unique volcanic soil shapes the character of its wines. Discover the full winemaking process - from grape to glass - as you tour the production, bottling, and aging areas. Conclude your experience with a tasting of three exceptional local wines, followed by a traditional island-style lunch featuring fresh, regional ingredients and authentic flavours.
