Greek Wine Tours

The crystal-clear waters of the Cyclades and the rich Greek culture are just a short flight away. Whether you are in search of a relaxing beachside holiday, a historic trail ride sprinkled with mythology in Athens, home to goddess of wisdom, or even seeking off-the-beaten-path vineyards, the Greek Islands have it all!

Set in the Southern Cyclades, captivating Santorini with its multicoloured cliffs soaring over 300m from a sea-drowned caldera, rests in the middle of the indigo Aegean Sea, looking like a slab of layered cake. With accomplished artists, excellent wineries, a unique brewery, and some of the Cyclades’ finest dining experiences make Santorini an excellent choice for a wine based break. Or perhaps it’s Athens you’re intrigued by, and the gems the Attic peninsula has to offer. On the borders of the Aegan Sea, this corner of the world so rich in history will take you through time to discover one of the most fascinating and exciting cultures in the world. Wander off the beaten tracks to explore unique vineyards, pair the excellent wines with delicious fresh food from the region, and learn about the power of Greek mythology along the way.

Overview:

The island of Santorini spoons the vast crater left by one of the biggest volcanic eruptions in history. Smaller islands curl around the fragmented western edge of the caldera, but it is the main island of Thira that will take your breath away with its snow drift of white Cycladic houses lining the cliff tops and, in places, spilling like icy cornices down the terraced rock. When the sun sets, the reflection on the buildings and the glow of the orange and red in the cliffs can be truly spectacular.

Santorini is no secret and draws crowds for most of the year, yet it wears its tourism well and its offerings make it worth the bustle. The island’s intrigue reaches deep into the past, with the fascinating Minoan site of Akrotiri and the gorgeous traditional hilltop village of Oia.
