The best place to start your wine adventure. The island’s cooperative of grape-growers, it’s a large tourist-focused complex on the caldera edge near the port. It has short tours of the production process and lots of tasting options. There are also superb views, a wine bar with food, and a shop full of choice vintages as well as gourmet local products.

Around the Island

Santorini's known for its multihued beaches. The black-sand beaches of Perissa, Perivolos, Agios Giorgos and Kamari sizzle – beach mats are essential. Red Beach, near Ancient Akrotiri, has impressive red cliffs and smooth, hand-sized pebbles submerged under clear water.

On a mountain between Perissa and Kamari are the atmospheric ruins of Ancient Thira ( GOOGLE MAP ; %22860 23217; http://odysseus.culture.gr/h/3/eh351.jsp?obj_id=2454; adult/child €4/free; h8am-3pm Tue-Sun), first settled in the 9th century BC.

Of the volcanic islets, only Thirasia is inhabited. Visitors can clamber over lava on Nea Kameni then swim in warm springs in the sea at Palia Kameni. Many excursions get you there; small boats are at Fira Skala port.
