More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of the air-conditioned SUV and the caldera wind meets you like a dare—salty, warm, carrying perfume of sun-baked herbs. Vine terraces tumble toward the sea and the island's whitewashed cliffs flash in the sun as your guide shepherds you to the tasting table at the first winery. For five hours you move through landscape and kitchen alike: tasting, learning, cooking and watching the light over the Aegean change.
