Step off the beaten path and uncover the historic side of Santorini on this guided walking tour. Begin with a hotel pickup and travel to the charming village of Pyrgos, where whitewashed houses climb the hillside beneath the remains of the Kasteli Castle. Continue to the hidden hamlet of Potamos, a peaceful corner of the island that few visitors ever reach. Along the way, walk on ancient paths that connect the villages, learning about Santorini’s layered history and vibrant culture from your local guide. Conclude in Emporio, where picturesque homes nestle around a Venetian castle. Pause for a traditional break with Greek coffee and yogurt topped with fruit and honey before returning comfortably to your hotel.
