Eine Geschichte so alt wie die Zeit (Tour über die Geschichte und Kultur von Santorini)

A story as old as time

(Tour about the history and culture of Santorini)

History, mythology, culture, philosophy, enology. Immerse yourself in the mysteries of Santorini, in a journey of the senses that defies time.

Santorini is full of secrets and stories waiting to be revealed. We begin our tour at 9:00 am, with the Museum of Lost Atlantis, the most famous mythological city in the world, where we immerse ourselves in a mystical 9d diving experience. After practically sinking underwater, we head to the famous archaeological site of Akrotiri to admire the fascinating excavations in the flesh. Hundreds of books, movies and theories are based on this myth. It all started with Plato's reference to a lost ideal city, a city with a great and advanced civilization. Although many places in the world have claimed the city's origin, Santorini and the violent volcanic eruption in the past is the most likely explanation for the myth.

Next stop: the ancient site of Akrotiri with its impressive excavations. For over 3,500 years this village lay hidden, buried by the volcanic eruption of 1646. Interestingly, the settlement had developed a number of engineering solutions and technologies that were unusual for its time, but that's not even the most bizarre part. Unlike other volcanic eruptions of this magnitude, such as Pompeii, not a single victim was found under the ashes of Akrotiri!

Afterwards we continue to the "symposion" of La Ponta in the village of Megalochori, where the ancient custom of eating, drinking and philosophizing is kept alive! Music is our vessel, taking us on an epic journey through ancient Greek mythology and tradition with the talent and artistry of Yannis Pantazis and Argy Kakissis. Get ready for an interactive musical journey with handmade wind and string instruments. A time capsule through myths, legends, culture and history!

Last but not least, one of the oldest "canavas" on the island offers a winery in the picturesque village of Megalochori and introduces you to Theranian enology. An 18 hectare vineyard planted with the native varieties Assyrtiko, Athiri, Aidani and some rare indigenous varieties such as Katsano, Gaidouria, Mavrotragano and Voudomato. The winemakers welcome the summer guests in the traditional canava, where you will have the opportunity to taste the juicy wines.
