More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Cliffside wind pushes the salt-scented air across the caldera as a private vehicle threads narrow island roads toward sunkissed vineyards carved into volcanic slopes. Guests step out at a low-slung concrete terrace with sweeping views of the Aegean and the black ridges where vines cling to the soil — this is Santorini’s tasting room.
