Stop at scenic viewpoints perfect for photography, while soaking in the views and imagining the epic battles and divine tales that once shaped this island.
The tour culminates at the iconic Portara, the massive gate of Apollo's Temple, where you'll witness a spectacular sunset. Enjoy a wine and cheese tasting at a charming local bistro, paying tribute to Dionysus, the god of wine. As the sun sets, bask in the tranquil beauty of the scene, a perfect end to a journey through both history and myth.
