One afternoon, while the weather was "come ci comme ca" (cloudy to sunny and vice versa) we decided to use that short chance and visit the most famous and biggest wine house in Santorini (around 10min drive from Thira).
Santorini is famous for its unique vineyards (which produce some of Greece's most adored wines), the art of wine production and 3,500 years old tradition in vineyard cultivation. The best wines here are considered to be the white dry, aromatic wines Nykteri and Assyrtico and the world famous Vinsanto. Vinsanto, with its warm amber color, is a sweet-dessert-white or red wine produced from grapes dried in the sun. The taste is quite close to liqueur.
Almost all cruise ships have organized visits to this winery, so due to that this place is regularly and daily crowded with tourists and buses. Except of the wide range of wines, different kinds of traditional products and souvenirs are offered here...

Oia, beautiful small touristic place, just 20min drive from Imerovigli where we stayed. Somehow we skipped it last year, but that's why this summer we went there at least three times! Oia's walking zone, made from big marble looking slabs, is less steeper and far more better for walking. Panoramic view is wonderful, as everywhere in Santorini. Full of small tavernas, intimate restaurants and cafes where you feel really welcomed. So many adorable shops with traditional products (ceramics, paintings, another art objects, lot of jewelry shops with amazing pieces) attract you to go inside and buy something...
Back from the holidays... yesterday night... today I'm repacking and leaving again tomorrow with more things... So many impressions and beautiful moments... to short the story- it was magnificent!
Also now that I'll have more free time since I won't be working all day long something, I'll use that opportunity to upgrade a bit my blog... frankly can't wait to start!
