From its famous volcano and its sheer cliffs rising majestically above the midnight-blue waters of the Aegean Sea, to its sun-bleached houses, blue-domed churches, volcanic black sand beaches, and legendary sunsets, Santorini reinforces the connection to Mother Earth like no other place in the world.

Spend an entire day or choose to spend a morning or an afternoon in the tranquil ambiance of Nafsika Estate. In the morning, swim in the large outdoor swimming pool or relax in the hot tub and indulge in the light lunch options as you lay on the poolside loungers. In the evening, admire the incandescent sunset from the majestic Nafsika Estate, savoring canapés and sparkling wine. For a full-day private hire, enjoy the villa all to yourself and your loved ones and watch Santorini’s sun dip into the sea right behind the volcano, while sipping champagne in the privacy of the Nafsika Estate.
Ride a horse on the beautiful Eros beach, under the shadow of a steep rock, carved by the artistic power of the sea, the sand and the wind resulting in an almost lunar scenery. Starting at the stables in Megalohori, ride along paths surrounded by vineyards and continue along the beach towards the top of the hill to enjoy the panoramic view of the beach and the trails.
It’s one thing to view the geomorphological wonder that is the caldera of Santorini and its cliffs from land and another to see it from sea level. Cruise the caldera of Santorini aboard a catamaran or sailing yacht. A wide range of tours is available with routes that feature swim and snorkel stops, including the volcanic island of Palia Kammeni and its therapeutic sulfur springs. Capture photos of the Red beach and the White beach, Akrotiri Lighthouse and a cliff that the locals call the face of the Indian. Tours include a barbecue meal and drinks onboard.
Santorini has a strong tradition of wine production, dating to ancient times, with a variety of 20 different wineries to visit and taste an array of crisp indigenous wines.

Book a wine tasting in a winery of your preference or at Vedema’s Canava Wine Bar and embark on a sensory journey through the sun-drenched vineyards of Santorini.
