Traditional way to experience Santorini! - The Authentic Pyrgos Village Donkey Ride and Feeding Experience was one of the highlights of our time in Santorini. Set in beautiful Pyrgos, it felt like stepping back into traditional island life. Mr. Manolis the donkey owner, was incredibly kind and welcoming. You can see how much he genuinely cares for his animals. The ride through the charming village paths was peaceful and unique, and feeding the donkeys afterward made the experience even more special and authentic. If you’re looking for something local, cultural, and heartwarming this is it. Highly recommended!

Fun and scenic experience - A wonderful and authentic experience in Pyrgos with Manolis, the local donkey owner. The donkeys are clearly well cared for and treated with respect. Manolis shared local traditions and stories, making it feel genuine rather than touristy. The traditional food was delicious and added to the warm, local atmosphere. Highly recommended for a real Santorini experience.

Famous sunset n Santorini’s hke - A stunning 10 km trail with caldera views, charming villages, and peaceful spots. Starts easy, gets rocky—good shoes needed. Hike in late afternoon for golden light and arrive in Oia just in time for an unforgettable sunset. Quiet, romantic, and worth every step.
