Venetsanos winery is located right above the port of Athinios, overlooking the magnificent caldera of Santorini. The Venetsanos family has a very long tradition of producing wine. Originally was produced for the island and subsequently, it was exported extensively, and particularly to countries such as Russia. It was built in 1947 by the Venetsanos family and became the first industrial winery on the island. Its most distinguishing feature is the structural design, which essentially used gravity, facilitating energy efficiency, at a time when access to electricity and other energy sources was very limited. The winery was built in an unconventional manner constructed from above and moving downwards.
After wineries we gonna drive to village of Oia. There you gonna have chance to see most popular Blue Domes. Oia is the most beautiful village in Santorini, best Instagram spot and mostly known as its magical sunsets.
Oia is located on north -west side of Santorini (officially known as Thera), around 12 km from the island capital, Fira (Thera) in the Cycladic archipelago, Greece. It is approximately 150 meters above sea level. At the edge of the Caldera cliffs, Oia has a panoramic view across the caldera towards the volcano, Thirassia, and almost the entire island.
