Therasia Trekking Tour and Traditional Meal
Meet your tour guide at your hotel and head to Ammoudi, the port of Oia.
Travel by tender boat to Therasia, to the port of Korfos, which lies inside the caldera.
Start your climb of about 180 steps to Manolas. You can make the climb on foot, or, if you prefer, ride a donkey for a slight extra charge. The spectacular view will make up for all the effort.
Stop at Panorama taverna, where you can rest and refresh yourself. Your guide will explain everything there is to know about the genesis and history of Therasia Island. Santorini Experts have all the local expertise and will help you gain the information you need about local agricultural specialities, wine production, and, of course, Greek traditions.
Stroll through the traditional village of Manolas. An abandoned cave house, the centre of the village, and the school are some of the highlights along the way.
Continue into the untouched nature of Therasia Island. During your hiking tour, you will pass a garden with vegetables, a vineyard, and different herbs until you reach Akrilia. Akrilia is a deserted village full of cave houses that was once the biggest settlement on the island. In the centre, you can visit the Virgin Mary Church, where the guide will share interesting information about the Greek religion.
Head back to the port of Riva.
Relish a traditional Greek meal combined with homemade wine.
