LA PONTA - SANTORINI VENETIAN CASTLE AKROTIRI
On this episode I visit the La Ponta cultural centre in Akrotiri.
La Ponta is located in an 13th century Venetian tower, within the castle of Akrotiri. It boasts an exquisite panoramic view of the island and is 1 km above the pre historic archeological set of Akrotiri, Santorini .
The tower hosts a tsabouna - Greek folk wind instrument of the bagpipe family - exhibition along with traditional Greek percussion and flutes.
In the La Ponta workshop they construct the tsabouna, various traditional and Ancient Greek flutes and the Cycladic drum doubaki.
Handcrafted musical instruments, unique books, prints and rare artefacts may be acquired in the gift shop. laponta.gr

Santorini will not stop surprising you. The more you will look, the more you will find.
In the peaceful and traditional village of Akrotiri that lies on the southwest coast of Santorini, you can visit the great Venetian Castle of Akrotiri. It is estimated that it was built in the first century of the Venetian occupation, as a shelter and a refuge.
La Ponta (the peak), its 13th century Venetian tower, is a great attraction since it provides a well-worth range of workshops and exhibitions of ancient Greek instruments.
Argy Kakissis is the co-founder and director of the project that restored the tower and brought it back into life. She believes that Santorini has even more to offer apart from its wonderful beaches and views. If you leave your bike or your car aside, you will find wonderful experience that you are not going to find if you are driving, she says.
She also takes the opportunity to tell us about the expansion of the project that will be called Symposium and will be dedicated to Music, Art and Greek Mythology. If you wanna know more about this initiative and would like to help out with their crowdfunding campaign, visit their website at
Ah! Before we forget: this place also provides unique panoramic views of Santorini.

Santorini Travel Guide - Greece Memorable Moments
Santorini Travel Guide - Greece Memorable Moments
Santorini is a volcanic island in the Cyclades group of the Greek islands. It is located between Ios and Anafi islands. It is famous for dramatic views, stunning sunsets from Oia town, the strange white aubergine (eggplant), the town of Thira and naturally its very own active volcano. There are naturally fantastic beaches such as the beach of Perissa, maybe the best beach in Santorini, the black pebble beach of Kamari, white beach and red beach.
There are several villages and towns on Santorini Island, four of which are perched along the top of the crescent-shaped cliff of the caldera.
Fira - the main stunning cliff-perched town, featuring all that Oia has, but much more overcrowded.
Karterados - 2km south of Fira. Here you can find the traditional Santorini architecture
Kamari - black pebble beach. Has stunning views of Sunrise.
Firostefani - just 10 minutes walking distance from Fira, offering unique views of the volcano and sunset from it cliff-perched site.
Imerovigli - small resort town perched on the cliff a short bus ride away from Fira. Has absolutely stunning views of the sunset (all the way down to the horizon) and of Oia.
Oia or Ia - for unforgettable sunsets, probably the most charming cliff-perched place on the island.
Pyrgos - highest point on the island; picturesque monastery and streets, can compete with Oia.
Perissa - Nice, well-organized beaches and good Greek fish taverns.
Megalochori -Traditional village with a lot of old white cycladic churches.
Akrotiri-Visit the Venetian Castle and on the top with amazing views the tower La Ponta- Greek Bagpipe exhibition workshop-Daily music!]]
Mesaria - The centre of the island. There is a small market on the road every morning with fresh fish. Do not miss the Argiros Estate to see a 19th century house fully rebuilt.
Monolithos- Nice beach and a few good taverns. Very good for children, as the water is shallow.
Vlichada - a small village and a beach.
Vothonas - a small rock village, the church of St. Ann is here. Architecturally it is the strangest village on the island, as all the buildings were cut from the ravine that it is in.
Also there's Thirasia, a village on the nearby island with the same name--visited by fewer tourists. There are daily excursions to the Kameni (volcano) Island which also reach Thirasia island.
The tourist season starts April 1, or around Greek Easter. The period from December through March is very much the off-season and marked by colder temperatures, rain and winds. Although the temperature is rarely cold, the poor weather makes for a less than optimal experience on this beautiful island. Most of the businesses, including hotels and guest houses, may be closed. The air is usually hot and dry during the busy summer months with very little rain between May and September. Ideal times to visit, for milder weather, lower prices and crowds, are April-June and September-October.
The island has a public bus service, with buses costing € 1.60, € 1.80 and € 2.20. There are no daily or weekly bus passes available. Recommended routes by foot include the amazing walk from Fira to Oia (note that this walk is less nice in reverse, it can take less than three hours but can be difficult, for up and downhill climbs, the rocky surface at times, and the proximity to unprotected cliffs that drop sharply into the caldera) along the caldera, as well as the paths over Perissa Rock connecting Perissa, Kamari, and Pyrgos. The walk between Perissa and Kamari is fairly short (via Ancient Thira), while the walk to Pyrgos is somewhat longer, passing through the highest point on the island. The views are breathtaking and you could find different kinds and colours of rocks and plants as you walk. The walking route is different from where the city buses go.
