Guided Tour - This picturesque hillside village is set on a volcanic crater at the highest point on Santorini, offering panoramic views over the island. With whitewashed Cycladic architecture, Byzantine churches, and small winding cobblestone lanes, Pyrgos (Pyrgos Kallistis offers the historic charm of the Greek islands without the tourist crowds.

Guided visit - The castle of Pyrgos, or as locals call it, the Kastelli, was damaged by the earthquake of 1956, but its ruins still stand. We will stop to snap photos and explore the frescoed churches and ancient ruins of Kasteli - Castle.

We will descend the Hiking Trail that connects Pyrgos - Megalochori. Megalochori is one of the most picturesque villages on the island. Its existence is recorded back to the 17th century. Home to historical mansions, old traditional houses, pirate hideaways and wine canavas, it has a history of merchants and wealthy land barons exporting Vinsanto wine that the island still produces.

It is a heart-shaped hole in a rock, through which you can see the Aegean Sea, the sky, and the volcano. It is located in Megalochori village, near the charming little chapel of Agios Nikolaos. The spot offers some wonderful views, especially if you are looking for a less crowded place to watch the sunset and capture some Instagram-worthy pictures with your partner at one of the most romantic locations in Santorini!

We continue our hiking following the Megalochori wine roads to Eros Beach. Eros is a wonderful, secluded beach with black sand and sapphire blue sea, on the south part of Santorini. It lies on the coastal area of Vlychada and is actually a continuation of the long Vlychada Beach. The landscape is dominated by the hard white volcanic rock of Santorini in formations reminiscent of a lunar landscape, ending at steep vertical slopes just before the sea. We spend 1 hour for a swim and a drink at the beach bar.

Vlychada is an easily accessible beach by car or bus, located on the south coast of Santorini, 13 kilometers from Fira. It stands out for the overwhelming carved cliffs that resemble a sculptor's work but is, in fact, a natural process owed to the volcano, the wind and the sea. We will dine and wine at a traditional taverna, Kyra Rini.
