Educational and fun! It combines 3 of the best parts of Santorini, good wine, archaeological site and caldera views for photos! A memorable tour. I have booked this for many of my hotel guests and I have also attended myself a couple of times with friends visiting! A must do tour to see Santorinis highlights! Recommended, lovely hosts, great tour AMAZING wine!
Thank you for the beautiful review! We’re happy to receive positive feedback, it means we were able to share the love and passion about Santorini!
What a unique experience. Emmy generously picked us up, drove us through Santorini while sharing historic details about the island, stopped at a couple landmarks for pictures, and then brought us to the studio. At the studio, you’ll meet Andreas and his wife who are skilled in the art of pottery. Andreas is a kind soul with a comedic side to him. You’ll hang out, maybe enjoy some wine made from his vineyard, and be walked through the pottery-making process. You’ll have the option to have your art sent home at an additional fee, and Emmy is happy to provide more than enough recommendations for the rest of your time in Santorini. This is a beautiful experience that truly immerses you in all facets of the Greek culture!
santorini is a great island to see .we had a great time with my wife in santorini . it would have been nice if we had more time to spend. people are very friendly and the walk path are really narrow and you can meet people easily walking on the street. great place to spend honey moon. we love it and we highly recommend
