5.00Bus picked us up at hotel as scheduled. Gianni was a great guide. He made the tour so much fun! First stop was a vineyard. From there we went to three different vineyards with wine and tapas along the way. Last stop was Santos and yes, we were there in plenty of time for the amazing Santorini Sunset. Definitely glad we did the evening tour.
