Santorini Wanderlust
Experience the absolute splendor of Santorini, while strolling through some of the most scenic and quiet villages of the island. Walk alongside beautiful mansions, explore quaint rural houses and discover the charm of Santorini’s abandoned neighborhoods. Visit a traditional winery to taste the local volcanic wines, or enjoy a mythical music journey at the unique space of Symposion by Laponta (closed on Mondays).
Your local guide will take you to the countryside where you will get to see locals still living there, and learn about professions and crafts that no longer exist. Stroll by amazing cave houses and capture the essence of Santorini as it used to be, before being wrecked by a massive earthquake. Enjoy a trip back in time, and let the aura of Santorini’s villages enhance your senses.
If you wish to see all what Santorini has to offer, or want to have an off the beaten path walking tour, this experience is perfect for you.
Inspired by a customized walk featured in the NY Times, we offer an extended version of this signature tour. Designed to showcase more off-the-grid locations, well-kept secrets, and unknown corners of Santorini. This Extended Santorini Wanderlust tour starts from the best preserved Venetian castle in Emborio village, following the path through terraced farmland which connects it with Pyrgos. A fascinating trip back in time, and an insight into the rural life of Santorini. If you are interested, please inquire adding private Extended Santorini Wanderlust to the comments.
