The riding club EXPERIENCE HORSE RIDING is a family business. The owners are two brothers who with love and respect for horses created their own farm in the village of Akrotiri.

We had a fantastic two hour ride which took us through vineyards and incredible volcanic cliffs down to the beach where we rode along the edge of the shore. Our guide Yana could not have been more friendly and informative about horses and the local area. She also took some great photos and videos to help us remember the experience. My daughter and I had a great time. Cheers, Yana!

This ancient city was covered in a heap of volcanic ash in the late 17th century B.C., preserving it for present-day archaeologists and interested tourists. The site is so well preserved that it is often referred to as the Pompeii of the Aegean.

This was very worth the visit. I had to coerce my children aged 21, 19 and 14 to visit with me, guaranteeing them we’d only spend one hour. They all agreed afterwards it was really worth the visit and they were glad they went. It is huge and impressive. The village is very clear in parts, with storage areas still full of pots and staircases, door thresholds and corridors all very well preserved. Much more complete than other sites we’ve seen. Interesting, fascinating, lots to see and no extensive use of your imagination to see whole buildings and areas. 100% recommend. The ancient history of Santorini being the rim of a huge crater of a volcano that erupted, changing the modern world as we know it, is fascinating. I’m just a normal tourist, no expert in antiquities but found this well worth it and I highly recommend it.

It is worth the drive! My cousin and I just notice the light house at the end of the island and decided to go search for it!

Although we have visited it at the end of October and couldn’t have a bath (some people were still swimming), it is a beautiful beach with a panoramic view, so you should visit it while in Santorini.
