Santorini | Emporio Village
Emporio Village is the largest of villages in Santorini, 12 kilometres from Fira, the main town of island, and is perched on the foothills of Mount Prophitis Ilias, the highest peak on the island. There's a regular bus service from Fira. Or you may wish to rent a 4-wheel-bike and keep it your own schedule.
Emporio Villages in Greek means the place of commerce, which possibly was back in the old days.
Santorini has several large inland villages that were in the past thriving marketplaces for the island's produce, and still attract those who seek a bit of peace away from the tourist track.

Santorini Hidden Gems. Epic Views + Cave Home Tour. What to do on the Island.
Looking for things to do in Santorini? Well this is the video for you. We spent a day discovering some less explored areas of Santorini to find hidden gems and amazing views of the island.
We started in the town we were staying in the centre of the island called Vothonas. Here we checked out some old caves in the side of the hill that were formerly homes. We took a bit of a walk and then gave our tour of our AirBNB.
If you’re wanting to see the listing or book it, you can find it here:

After that we took our car rental and headed to the small and quiet town of Pyrgos, here you find the pretty streets and blue domes that you picture in Santorini but without all the people. You also have great views over the island.
Next we drove to the lighthouse at the very tip of the island to called Akrotiri. A lot of people go there to watch the sunsets but during the day there weren’t too many people there. From here you can see the entire island of Santorini. We flew the drone to get some better views.
Santorini is known for its wine so lastly we headed to a winery called Venetsanos to do a wine tasting and because the winery is right on the edge of a cliff, we enjoyed the most amazing views of the island.
Santorini:
Santorini is an island in Greece, located in the Aegean Sea, 200 km southeast of Athens, 150 km south of Mykonos, and 140 km north of Crete. Flights to Santorini take 4 hours from London, 3.5 hours from Paris, 2 hours from Rome, and 1 hour from Athens.
The towns of Fira, Oia, Firostefani, Imerovigli, and Akrotiri cling to the 300m cliffs and have magical views of the caldera and volcano to the west. The beach towns of Kamari, Perissa, Perivolos, and Agios Georgios are on the east and south sides of the island (not the caldera). For most travelers, the best place to stay in Santorini is along the caldera.
Pyrgos:
Pyrgos village is situated in the centre of Santorini, 8km southeast of Fira. Pyrgos is built like an amphitheater at the top of a hill. This amazing point offers some of the best view of the island. With only 700 inhabitants, Pyrgos is one of the most vivid settlements of Santorini all year round. The hillside villages are a protected settlement in 1995. Some of the most famous landmarks are the ruins of the Venetian fortification castle or kasteli as the locals call it.
Trekkers will find amazing natural beauty around Pyrgos. Among others there is the old Medieval path that leads from Pyrgos to Emporeio village (1 hour and 30 minutes).
Akrotiri:
The Akrotiri peninsula is known of course for the famous ruins from the Minoan period. The actual village of Akrotiri is not as well known and that is for a number of reasons. The main reason is that the road to the archaeological site does not even go through the town. Tourists see the site and then head for the next spot on their itinerary or else to the beach. Very few go to the village. So on the island that is probably the most popular tourist destinations in Greece there is a village with many of the qualities of a remote island.
You will find amazing historical sites, great views and nearby beaches to visit. Definitely a must in Santorini.
Venetsanos winery:
Venetsanos winery is located right above the port of Athinios, overlooking the magnificent caldera of Santorini. The Venetsanos family has a very long tradition in 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 Venetsanos family and became the first industrial winery on the island. Its most distinguished 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.

Nisyros, a Volcanic Greek Island in the Aegean Sea
Nisyros is a volcanic Greek island and municipality located in the Aegean Sea. It is part of the Dodecanese group of islands, situated between the islands of Kos and Tilos. Its shape is approximately round, with a diameter of about 8 km. Several other islets are found in the direct vicinity of Nisyros, the largest of which is Gyali.
Nisyros, with fewer than 1000 permanent inhabitants, is famous for having the only active volcano in Greece together with Santorini. The island is essentially a volcanic cone with a large collapsed caldera in the center. It is possible to walk into the volcanic crater and view the smoking fumaroles at close hand.
The island is reachable by ship from Piraeus and Kos, and in summer, there are many daily trips from the village of Kardamena on Kos. There is also a heliport. There are two main villages on the island; Mandraki in the north-west (where the ferries dock) and Nikea, up on the edge of the volcanic rim to the south. According to the 2011 census, the municipality's resident population is about 1,000, although in summer it is augmented by many tourists as well as expatriate Nisyrians who visit the island for their vacations. Tourism is not so heavily developed as on other Greek islands.
According to Greek mythology, the island was formed when Poseidon cut off a part of Kos and threw it onto the giant Polybotes to stop him from escaping. The volcano is currently active (but not erupting), and fumaroles are found at the craters. It has had four historical eruptions. The latest eruptive activity was a steam explosion in 1888, after small ash eruptions in the 1870s.

Λέντας -Όστρια -Δισκός - Lentas - Ostria - Dyskos, Crete in 4K
Ο Λέντας είναι ένας γραφικός παραθαλάσσιος οικισμός που βρίσκεται 74 χλμ νότια του Ηρακλείου, πίσω από τα Αστερούσια Όρη Είναι ένα μικρό τουριστικό θέρετρο, πολύ ήπια ανεπτυγμένο που προσφέρει δυνατότητες για πολύ ήρεμες οικογενειακές διακοπές. Η τριγύρω περιοχή είναι γεμάτη ήσυχες παραλίες με πιο γνωστή την παραλία Δισκός που προσελκύει κυρίως γυμνιστές. Ο Λέντας είναι χτισμένος στην τοποθεσία της Αρχαίας πόλης Λέβην, της οποίας ερείπια βρίσκονται σε κοντινή απόσταση από την παραλία. Η αρχαία Λεβήνα ήκμασε στα Ελληνορωμαϊκά χρόνια, ως επίνειο της Γόρτυνας, που ήταν τόε η σημαντικότερη πόλη της Κρήτης. Στα ανατολικά του Λέντα υπήρχε ιαματική πηγή με νερό, η οποία υπήρξε αφορμή για την κατασκευή ενός ιερού αφιερωμένου στον θεοποιημένο ιατρό Ασκληπιό και τη Υγεία Σώτειρα, κοντά στην είσοδο του χωριού (4ος αιώνας). Το Ασκληπιείο του Λέντα, όπως και αυτό της Λισού, ήταν πολύ γνωστό κέντρο υδροθεραπείας, φυσιοθεραπείας και ψυχιατρείο για ασθενείς από πολύ μακρινές περιοχές, όπως πχ . η Λιβύη. Από το ναό σώζονται σήμερα ο βωμός, δυο μαρμάρινες κολώνες και η βάση αγάλματος του Ασκληπιού. Στο σημείο σήμερα θα δείτε τη Βυζαντινή εκκλησία του Αγίου Ιωάννη του Θεολόγου, που χτίστηκε με υλικά του ναού.
Lendas is a remote coastal village located 74km south of Heraklion, on the southern slopes of the imposing Asterousia Mountains. It is a tourist resort, mildly developed, offering very relaxing holidays.
Lendas is built on the site of the ancient city Levina. The ancient city of Levina flourished in the Hellenistic and Roman Era as a harbor of Gortys, which was then the most powerful town of Crete.
On the east of Lentas, there is a spring of water, which was considered to have healing properties. Even today, studies have shown that the water is good in diseases of the stomach, blood and bleeding tendency. Thus, this spring was the cause for the construction of a huge temple, dedicated to the deified doctor Asclepius and Hygeia Sotira (4th century AC). The temple was renowned as a center of hydrotherapy, physiotherapy and psychiatry. Patients from distant areas, such as Libya, visited this place. From the temple, you can still see the altar, two marble columns and the base of a statue of Asclepius. On this site a Byzantine church was build using also materials from the sanctuary, dedicated to Agios Ioannis Theologos. Remains of Roman baths have been found in the area of the springs. Levina seems to have been abandoned in the 7th-8th century, possibly because of constant pirate raids.
