Hello, My name is Ioannis. First and foremost, I just wanna give you a little background about myself and what I do. I was born and raised in the beautiful island of Santorini. Every part of this island reminds me of different times in my life, and specially brings me good memories of my childhood. Just like my grandfather, I used to collect grapes during harvest time, which were used to make a local wine. Also, just like my grandmother, I liked picking cherry tomatoes to prepare the famous sun-dried Santorini tomatoes. I even remember in my early years when I used to play with friends in Caldera's cliffs, with a striking view of the volcano which for me then was something very scary. The last 7 years I have offered private tours as an expert local guide. My main passion is meeting people from all over the world and sharing my knowledge of the local history and culture. I am a truly passionate professional and my biggest wish is to show you as much as I can of my island, making your tour something really memorable!

Overview of your Santorini tour

Since I was a small child, I learnt the secrets of wine production in Santorini from my grandfather. Also, on many occasions I worked on my family's vineyards, where the volcanic soil and unique climate gives a special flavor to the grapes. Let me guide you through the scenic countryside and my picturesque village of Megalochori. We'll visit 3 different local wineries on this adventure. At each, you'll taste some of Santorini's finest wines such as Nyceti, Assyrtiko and Vinsanto, with special local delicacies such as cheeses, crunchy crackers, nuts etc. Sample up to 12 different varieties of wine and taste some of the best traditional dishes that are integral to the island gastronomic outpost. We'll visit the cellars of each winery and we learn about the traditional winemaking techniques from local winemakers. In this tour, I'll make sure that the rich vinicultural tradition of Santorini, which dates back to ancient times, will stay in your memory forever. Relax and enjoy this greek wine experience!
