Message from Irene Pila

Megalochori is a stunning village on the island of Santorini, filled with white-washed buildings, churches adorned with blue domes, and traditional underground caves. It is the perfect place for any traveler to escape the hustle and bustle of other Greek cities. In Megalochori, visitors can explore the area's wineries, such as Gavalas and Venetsanos, sample the local Vinsanto wine, and take part in a cooking class with locals at Petra Kouzina. Those interested in history can spend a day walking its time-worn streets, admiring the famed bell tower or exploring the nearby ruins of Akrotiri. With its peaceful atmosphere, spectacular views, and delicious cuisine, Megalochori is an unforgettable destination.
