So happy to see Anhydrous called out. We booked a massage, mezze, and wine tasting and it was spectacular. Can't recommend them enough. We walked from Fira!
We spent our honeymoon in Santorini last week, and both of us are wine lovers. we visited Gavalas, Domaine Sigalas, Oeno P and Vassaltis wineries. Gavalas was nice, the staff there were very friendly and the wine was nice also. Domaine Sigalas had better wine, but they were fully booked so we just tasted a couple of wines at the bar before we decided which ones to buy as a gift to the owner of our hotel. at Vassaltis we had wine tasting paired with food as lunch, and it was great - both the wine and the food. the last one we went to was Oeno P, which was found by Paris Sigalas, the original owner of Domaine Sigalas. The lady the worked there, Maria, was very informative and friendly. the winery itself is very interesting and unique, since the wine is matured in huge clay containers. if you stay at the northern part of the island, I highly recommend these four wineries.
Agree with all the points on Anhydrous. We really enjoyed it. I think it was 20 euro per person for tastings but it comes included with a tour, you can hang out there for awhile. Very relaxed fun vibe, glad we went.
Congratulations Seb on your 10k subscriptions. Your channel deserve at least 100k subscribers with your helpful and informative contents on Santorini and Athens Greece. Hope you'll do a series on Zakynthos, its an amazingly beautiful place, and its wine tasting is much cheaper and just as great if not better than Santorini. 😅😂👌
This video had some good points but I think things have improved at the wine museum since it was published a year ago. We have travelled and experienced wine tours and tastings worldwide and the tasting room and the quality of all of the wines (including the reds) at the museum was excellent. Yes, we paid 33 euros for a bottle of red when we left, but we would put it on a par with equivalently priced reds in France, Portugal, Spain, Canada (yes, small production - not available outside of Canada - but excellent quality at that price level in British Columbia). The customer service was good and the staff had some good knowledge to share having also experienced wines in other countries and pointing out comparisons and contrasts.
Love your videos! Thank you for great info!!! I’m binge watching before my upcoming Greece trip. I’d like to join the wine tour but how early do I need to reserve if I’m going in Oct?
Hi Sebi! I love your videos and how well you explain everything without being a long video. Could you let me know how to get from Boutari from Fira without a car? How accessible is it by bus?
Hi Sebastian! We are interested in visiting Santos Winery during sunset. Do you know if they also have nice food, or would you say we should stick to the wine tasting here and have dinner elsewhere? Thanks so much again for all the tips!
The food at Santo Wines is very tasty but also very pricey. So if you have the budget for it, sure you can eat there as well. Of not, just stick to the wines and maybe get just 1 or 2 fingerfood platters.
We went to Venetsanos Winery while on Santorini last month. Our tour guide took us. (One of my traveling companions booked a tour with him before I found you on RUclips😕) We tried four of their white wines. Nothing special for the two of us that tried them. Our other two companions can’t drink wine.
Hi Sebastian. Me and my girlfriend are going to Santorini + doing some Island hopping aswell. I must say your videos have been really informative as you keep them short, concise. Plenty of other people make travel guides and videos about the isles to, how ever majority of them are very self obsessed with less info, longer videos and more focus on the creator doing activitys in the video. Thanks for all the good info, looking forward to see the islands in a few days.
Hi, thanks for the information. Would you please advise the public transportation to go to Santo wine in detailed, and what is the best time to visit Santo wine for sunset view in early May? Thanks!
The bottle of Voudomato.. is a rose...its also made at Hatzikidakis winery and they make a sweet version there BTW, there are more than 20 wineries on the island and Boutari is definitely not the best. I think youll find it was at Hazidakis and the last owner who put santorini Assyrtyko on the map. Not Boutari. I think also you have missed the best winery on the island for Assyrtyko?
Hi Seb, I’m planning visit Santorini on later November for my wedding anniversary. Do you know which wineries are open this time of the year? Are they serving food as well? Any recommendations for an unforgettable anniversary trip? My researchers hasn’t been great as everything looks closed 😔 Thank you so much!
Thanks for the info. I may have missed it but what is a good place to purchase the Vinsanto wine? I'm not a big wine person but like the sweet varieties so not interested in doing any tastings.

Hello Sebastian how are you? We are thinking of tasting at 2 wineries on the same day, Estate and SantoWines. Are the tasting sessions small? our concern is because we will be driving. Thank You
Hi Lincoln. If you put 2 or 3 hours between the tastings, you'll be fine. But if you do 2 times 4 wines in less than an hour, I'm pretty sure you'll be above the authorized 0.5grams of alcohol.
Another great video. Adding a trip to Gavalas for my stay. Would you recommend going to Gavalas on the way back from Akrotiri? Or coming back from Pyrgos? Which would make more sense?
@@grizzzzlies7208 In that case go there on the way from Akrotiri. The Akrotiri line will stop in Megalochori on the way back to Fira, if you tell them to
Santo Wines has a beautiful view, but that is it. Their Assyrtiko is just awful - it tastes to me like gasoline/petrol and not like a real assyrtiko. I will try the winery in Fira, as I've never tried it and the reds sound interesting too. Three of the best wineries weren't covered here, however - Sigalas, Vassaltis and Thalassitis Gaia. Hatzidakis is, of course, wonderful and I am happy his family has kept up Mr. Hatzidakis' quality

Hi Sebi! I love your videos and how well you explain everything without being a long video. Could you let me know how to get from Boutari from Fira without a car? How accessible is it by bus?
From Fira, you need to take the PERISSA or AKROTIRI line, and ask to be dropped off at the bus stop "Megalochori Vedema". From there its a 5min walk.
@@GreeceExplained you are the best thank you!
Hey Seb.
Can you do a video on the jewellers on the island. Looking to buy some jewellery when we go but unsure of where to visit.
Thanks

Your videos are so so helpful!! Question: whatt islands can I visit from. Santorini for a day. I know Ios. Any other???

Venetsanos Winery !
Went to Anhydrous, we walked there from Fira.
No mention for the Gaia Winery there?
Thanks for the info. I may have missed it but what is a good place to purchase the Vinsanto wine? I'm not a big wine person but like the sweet varieties so not interested in doing any tastings.
Boutari or Hatzidakis in my opinion. You dont even need to go to the actual wineries for that, many supermarkets sell them.
@@GreeceExplained Ok thanks! I see Boutari is close to where Petra Cooking class is that I plan to take.
Any idea how to buy some of these Greek wines in the USA?? Ive searched everywhere!

Hi ..plz let us know any vaccination required to enter Greece...Also which site to refer for latest COVID restrictions updates? Ae r coming in mid may
No rules to enter Greece. Everyone welcome.
@@GreeceExplained Thanks..if any changes plz make a video...but hope this remains same
Are the wineries you mentioned family friendly (toddler to be specific)?
I never asked specifically, but I guess they are, yes.
You forgot Gaia wines 😊
Another great video. Adding a trip to Gavalas for my stay. Would you recommend going to Gavalas on the way back from Akrotiri? Or coming back from Pyrgos? Which would make more sense?
That would depend on where you're staying and on your means of transportation.
@@MrBritishComedy We’ll be using the public buses. We are staying near Fira. 15 min walk to the bus station
@@grizzzzlies7208 In that case go there on the way from Akrotiri. The Akrotiri line will stop in Megalochori on the way back to Fira, if you tell them to
Patrick is right ! Megalochori is on the Akrotiri => Fira bus line, not on the Pyrgos => Fira line ;-)

You didn’t mention wine prices?
You mean if you wanna buy a bottle ? 20-30€ for dry wines, a bit more for the Vinsanto.
