Although Its name means “big village” in Greek, Megalohori is completely the opposite. It is a small village in the mainland of Santorini, actually dug in the bed of a torrent. The 2-3 churches with the elaborate steeples show the locals’ artistry and pure labor of love. Megalohori is famous for its vineyards and three of the most important wineries of the island: Boutari, Antoniou (of the Venetsanos family) and Gavala. Strolling around the village after a swim or going for an evening walk before reaching the more crowded and noisy areas sounds ideal!
