The island has small but flourishing wine industry. The pride of the island is the sweet red wine called Vinsanto. The white wine is very dry.
Santorini cherry tomatoes are renowned. They are very sweet and tasty. Other agricultural products particular to the island are Santorini beans (fava), white eggplants, and large cucumber (katsouni).
You can take public transportation or walk your way up to the village. You may have to share the path with the donkeys. The path is visible in the picture above and below.
