Megalochori: the paradise of wine in Santorini

April 16, 2013

Megalochori… A small village with a long tradition in winery. A settlement so blasting peaceful, you’d love to live here.

Situated 9 km away from Fira, you can find Megalochori on your way to the beaches of Perissa, Perivolos, Vlychada and the Read Beach, in the south of the island. To the contrary of what its name indicates (Megalochori means big village in Greek), it is a small village yet for high expectations! Stroll around the cobbled alleys, enjoy the picturesque architecture and the scent arising from the flowery yards, as well as the impressive bell towers that pop up harmoniously in the landscape.

If someone claimed that the paradise of wine is here, it wouldn’t be an overstatement. The settlement is built in the bed of a stream in direct view of a valley with vineyards and features numerous wineries. Vedema resort, your five star hotel Santorini is built in a 400 years old winery. Also the 3 most important wineries of the island are also located here: Boutaris, Antoniou, Gavalas. Savour the unique volcanic taste combined with sea bouquet and immerse into wine poetry!
