Petra Kouzina is a unique proposal of cooking classes where guests are invited to take part in the preparation and tasting of a traditional Greek meal in a Cave House that has been specially designed to offer a full gastronomic experience. Petra Kouzina is a social endeavor, bringing people together, uniting them in their love of creating good food and connecting them to the lifestyle of Santorini.
We experienced a lovely time at Petra Kouzina with our adult son and his girlfriend. Georges and Paula were very hospitable and welcomed us into their home to teach us about the heritage of Greek food and culture. We prepared, under Georges’ watchful eye, a five course delicious meal with all local ingredients. We learned some handy tips to help us prepare the food. There were 15 of us who entered strangers and left as friends. A wonderful place to learn about Greece, its food heritage and dine divinely. One of the highlights of our trip to Santorini! Well worth the money!

We have relocated to Megalochori, Santorini - SYMPOSION by La Ponta Symposion's programming is centered in Greek mythology's timeless relevance to life as it is lived today. Inspired by the nine muses, guests are offered a total experience of the arts, encompassing every detail—from the wine served in our Homeric Wine Cafe to the herbs planted in our Mythological Botanical Garden. Symposion presents La Ponta’s highly successful program of one-of-a-kind performances, workshops and innovative interactive tours for adults and children, catering to both the local community and to the global traveler on the island of Santorini.
We had an enchanted break at Symposion in Megalochori. Everything is beauty and harmony in this plant and mineral setting. It was a pleasure talking with Yannis, owner of this place, and we had the incredible chance to be musicians for a little concert. A wonderful experience!

Gavalas family winery, one of the oldest wineries in Santorini, lies in the traditional village of Megalochori. The purpose of our family is to highlight the particular characteristics of Santorini’s “terroir”. The fourth generation winemaker is George Gavalas and the fifth is his son, Vagelis. With proper respect to the local varieties, we are focused on limited production bottlings. Gavalas winery vinifies the most vibrant variety in Greece, Assyrtiko, as well as Aidani, Mandilaria and Mavrotragano. In order to show the richness of the land, we are the only winery in Santorini that vinifies the indigenous rare varieties of Katsano and Voudomato.
We had a wonderful tour and tasting of the Explore Santorini wines here, with Spyro who was very informative, friendly and fun. The winery has a lovely family feel to it and we found that we actually preferred quite a number of the wines here when compared to other wineries on the island - so we ended up staying for an extra glass afterwards and bought a bottle to take home! We also had a delicious small platter of local cheese, meats, tomatoes etc. A lovely activity for a lazy afternoon!

Venetsanos winery is located right above the port of Athinios, overlooking the magnificent caldera of Santorini. The winery was designed by the innovator George Venetsanos in 1947. Firstly operated in 1949 and was the first industrial winery on the island. It has a very rich history, unique architecture and amazing views. Visit our Cafe, the Wine Tasting area, our shop or hire our terraces for a private event or Wedding!
We did two wine tastings whilst in Santorini in Venetsanos and Gaia, both very different but fantastic. Venetsanos is located on the edge of the caldera above the port with spectacular views. The location is for a reason as the whole wine process was driven by gravity starting with grapes loaded at the top of the cliff and pipes down to the port to fill the barrels in situ with the finished wine. In between the more traditional processing took place in caves cut into the rock which now house a simple museum showing the process as well as indoor tasting rooms. It is a unique spot and process. Wine tasting can take place either indoors or outdoors on the terrace. We were fortunate to have a sheltered spot outdoors so we were able to enjoy the spectacular caldera views whilst enjoying the wine tasting accompanied by a fun mezze mix. An informative and fun visit.

Explore the first Museum in the world dedicated to the myth of Atlantis! Lost Atlantis is a digital interactive experience, for everyone of age 6 years and older. In our brand new facilities you can re-live the cataclysmic destruction of Atlantis with all your senses in an extraordinary 9D experience, discuss with ancient Philosopher Plato, explore the largest Diorama of Atlantis in the world, follow Plato's journey for the ideal city through an interactive fresco and witness a holographic representation of the geological evolution of Santorini island from the prehistoric ages until today. Learn the story…Live the Myth!
This is a new museum with plenty of parking and a thoroughly modern approach. We paid our €24, donned our gloves for the touch screen displays in a covid world and were then guided through the origins of the Atlantis myth and how it relates to Santorini by various interactive exhibits. The 9D film of the destruction of Thera and the volcanic eruption was great fun - water sprays, vibrating seats etc so it was very immersive (excuse the pun). The tour continued with a diorama of what Plato's Atlantis looked like and how it was run and then alternative locations for Atlantis and their origins. It was a fantastic time and would be great for families too, it's just a shame that we were the only visitors. It was certainly money well spent and the staff were great, very helpful and enthusiastic with better English than most Bristolians!
