More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step from a cool, air-conditioned vehicle onto a rim of rock that still remembers fire—Santorini’s caldera watches you with a bright, Aegean glare. The driver eases away and the day compresses into vineyard rows, whitewashed cellars and the mineral snap of Assyrtiko on the tongue.
