Megalochori

A village in the vineyards of the south, where the bell tower of the church spans the lane and the old square fills with tables in the evening. Its families made their money in wine, and you can still see their canavas, the old wineries, and the walled mansions of the 19th-century sea captains. Little chapels on the cliffs nearby look straight down into the caldera, and the Venetsanos winery is built into the rock above the sea.
