Real winery profiles, current entry rules, and two more villages

This week's batch is our most research-heavy yet — verified 2026 entry requirements, six named wineries, and two villages most guides skip.

2 min read News & updates

Unlike most of our weekly batches, this one leaned heavily on outside research rather than general knowledge alone — worth flagging, since accuracy matters most on exactly this kind of page.

What's new

  • Plan gained a current entry-requirements guide (visa rules, the new EES border system, and the not-yet-live ETIAS authorisation) and a second itinerary pairing Santorini with Naxos.
  • Wine gained profiles of six real, well-established wineries — Santo Wines, Venetsanos, Estate Argyros, Domaine Sigalas, Hatzidakis, Gavalas and Canava Roussos.
  • Food gained a guide to ouzo and tsipouro, including the island's own distillery near Messaria.
  • Places gained Messaria and Vothonas — two central, historically distinct villages most visitor guides skip entirely.
  • Culture gained a Santorini vs. Mykonos comparison.
  • Stay gained a last-minute booking guide.
  • Do gained a parasailing and watersports guide.

A note on accuracy: entry requirements and similar fast-changing rules will keep shifting after this page is published — we've flagged that directly in the guide itself rather than presenting it as permanently settled. As always, corrections go to the contact page.


Spotted something out of date, or have a correction? Let us know — we'd rather fix it fast than leave it wrong.
