Santorini’s Hidden Jewel – Megalochori

[soliloquy id=”11369″]

Megalochori

One of the most beautiful little villages on Santorini island. The village is surrounded by vineyards that date back to the 17th century. Wealthy merchants and land owners made their fortunes exporting Vinsanto wine that is still produced here today. Make sure that you try some while you are out here. There’s a bunch of beautiful wine tasting restaurants in the middle of town. You can savor some of the locally produced wines. It’s wonderful and I highly recommend taking a few bottles back home with you. The Greek hillsides make some of the best wine you will ever have. You won’t find wine like this anywhere else on earth!

Protection From Pirates

You’ll notice that all of the historical homes and mansions were built with high walls, solid brightly painted wooden door entrances and inner courtyards. They were built like this so that the residents would have a little privacy but it also served a higher purpose, it prevented the pirates from getting in. You’ll get the impression that you are walking through a labyrinth.

Tours

Tours are a great way to visit. They will pick you up at your hotel and drive you to the site. There is a driver and a guide and the guide will give you all sort of information about the history and culture.  This is a great option if you plan on tasting the wine. Once the tour is over, they will take you back to your hotel.
