Oia Village, Wine Tasting & Cooking

Delight in the sights and flavors of the island on a six-hour tour that combines its natural beauty with its sumptuous cuisine. Board a motorcoach and ascend the dramatic, rocky caldera roads to the traditional village of Oia, perched high atop the cliffs of Santorini's northern terminus. Commence a guided walking tour through its cobblestone streets admiring the world-famous Cycladic architecture and the beautiful old mansions perched cliff-side. Continue on to a local winery to learn the history of centuries-old wine production on the island and enjoy a tasting. Proceed to the Akrotiri area, where you'll stop at the renowned Nikolas Cave Taverna. Settle in for a cooking demonstration by a master chef, which highlights local ingredients. Savor the chef's creations in the form of a superb lunch. At the conclusion of the day, you will have the option of disembarking in the town of Santorini for independent exploration, returning to the ship on your own.
