The coastal village of Kamari features the beaches and ruins that are typical of Greek islands, but also boasts unusual attractions like an open-air cinema. Stray from the black pebble shores and head up to the site of Ancient Thira, where the stone remains of houses, markets, baths and temples will impress you with their size and structure. Sip local vintages at the Gaia Winery, then relax at an outdoor café as you watch the sun sleepily drop below the horizon, washing the sky with warm Aegean light.

Our winery is situated on a beach, on the east side of the island, between Kamari and Monolithos settlements. This industrial stone building used to be a tomato factory, built in the beginning of the 1900s. Here, local cherry tomatoes were made into an aromatic tomato purée until the 1970s. With great joy we have renovated this rare, charming building, giving it new life as a winery. For GAIA, it has been an honor to preserve a piece of our heritage through reclamation of this architectural example of industrialization. Today, the high-tech equipment and the cutting edge facilities of our winery guarantee contemporary winemaking and ideal conditions for high quality production. At the same time, in a discrete out-of-the-way vault, we have set up a small oxidization area where we are delighted to produce our rare, sweet, aromatic Assyrtiko vinegar. Small quantities (around 1,500 liters) are bottled annually after five years of ageing in oak barrels in our special cellars.
The first of four wineries we visited in Santorini, Gaia sits on the black pebble beach of Santo’s east coast like a surfer, surveying a dawn break. Instead of a traditional tasting room, Gaia offers a shaded, sea-view courtyard, surrounded by beached wooden skiffs. Painted in vibrant reds, yellows, and blues, Gaia feels more Baja cantina than Santorini winery...and we loved that. Our somm-hostess paired nicely with Gaia’s chill vibe: lovely and laid back, she presented each of our eight wines with a relaxed grace, giving us time between tastes to savor the afternoon under whispering [shadetrees]. We weren’t offered a tour (and didn’t inquire) but learned that, like most Santo wineries, Gaia buys grapes from the island’s collective of farmers, who grow mostly Assyrtiko grapes. Gaia is off the beaten path, but very close to the airport and well worth the visit. (Even from Oia, it’s a quick hop.) Make it an afternoon with a light lunch and plan to spend a couple of hours.
