Megalohori holidays:
The village of Megalohori is a small, peaceful settlement that boasts of architecture and scenery straight from the medieval times. It has white cubic houses, paved narrow alleys and a picturesque landscape that are beautiful to behold. This little village is actually world famous for its vineyards. As
Santorini is famous as a tourist destination, so is it renowned for its delicious wines. And that is because of the Megalohori vineyards and wineries.
The name Megalohori means “big village” in Greek, an ironic description for a place that is so small that only three churches and less than a hundred Cycladic houses were built here. The churches have elaborate architecture, including intricate carvings on wood and metal that has gained the interest of many visitors and art enthusiasts. The artistry of the locals and their love of the place are shown in these churches—artworks that speak much of the locals’ character.
Three of the best known wineries in Santorini are found in the village of Megalohori: Boutari, Antoniou (of the Venetsanos family) and Gavala. The thriving wine industry has boosted local economy and attracted more tourists. When in Santorini, never forget to visit one of these wineries which have sophisticated facilities to make the best-tasting wine in the world.
A swim at the beaches of Megalohori can be similarly energizing. After a swim, you can then take a stroll around Megalohori’s main square where there are many tavernas for dining, drinking and having fun.
Megalohori sits on a hill overlooking the great Cycladic islands beyond the Aegean Sea. It does make for a perfect
cheap holiday in pretty Megalohori, a place for relaxation and enjoyment.
