What to do and see in Kamari, South Aegean: The Best Archaeology Tours

April 8, 2022 Tonie Szymanski

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 guide was great as we scheduled easy pick up and drop off locations. Each winery had a different feel as they were located in different parts of southern Santorini. Tour was finished off with Venetsanos winery which was located in the cliffs overlooking the caldera. We would recommend.

I traveled to Athens in December 2020. During that time Greece was under strict restrictions due to the covid-19 pandemic. I booked the transfer in early December and they were very responsive to all my queries regarding my trip and kept me posted up to the last minute. I had a late night arrival but Christos, the driver was there on time with a warm welcome. The company vehicle was extremely clean,fully equipped with sanitizer and disinfectant wipes and masks (if needed). All the preventive measures were taken. On the way to Athens, Christos gave me a detailed update on the measures and the movement restrictions imposed by that time and thoroughly explained the procedure to issue permits (with SMS) to go out. I book the transfer back to the airport with Marryposa. Cannot thank them enough for their service and hopefully next time will be on their base, on Santorini island, for a full tour! Totally recommended for all travelers arriving to Athens and need a transfer!

The format of this tour is great – it doesn't take a whole day but there is plenty of time to see Oia and Fira, to see the sunset, get dinner and check out the nightlife. Perfect for getting a taste of these towns before going back to explore more thoroughly. They were also very flexible with timing, offering to take us home earlier or later if we needed. Gregory was our driver: he was loads of fun and very knowledgeable about the island. We had a great time. (COVID-19 precautions: capacity was limited and everyone wore masks inside the minibus.)

Α trip back in time Pyrgos is a medieval ornament and dominates a hill overlooking Santorini from side to side, from Santorini to Oia. It is a casteli still preserving the traits of the Venetian Empire, sowed with churches and ruins, breathing a strong sense of power and prosperity. Vothonas Narrow paths and steps that deserve to be walked and ascended run through the spine of the village. A picturesque traditional settlement that differs though from other villages of Santorini. For instance, it has no view, neither the prestige of the Fira or Oia. It has, though, a distinct character, fully attached to the natural surrounding and the beds of rock of the Thira land. Wine Museum It is the sole underground Wine Museum in Greece, being 8 metres below ground. It is shaped like a labyrinth and stretches for 300 metres, presenting the history of wine and the daily life of the Santorini’s vine dresser since 1660.
