Diporto House of Wines & Taste
About
Diporto House of Wines & Taste, on Santorini, occupies a spot in Φηρά / Fira, Σαντορίνη, Κυκλάδες / Santorini island, Cyclades, Greec 847 00, on the island's caldera-side capital. First-time visitors should expect a shop rather than a bar, with bottles and tastings taking the place of a seated menu. A rating of 3.8 out of 5 from 52 reviews gives a mixed but steady picture of how customers judge it. Fira is the island's main town, and Oia, Imerovigli, Firostefani, Pyrgos, Megalochori, Emporio and Kamari all lie within the same road network, so reaching the shop from the main resorts is straightforward by car or bus.
Fira sits on the western rim of the island, and the shop's position in the capital puts it among the town's lanes and squares. The 52 reviews behind the 3.8/5 score come from visitors and residents who use the shop for wine and tastings. Santorini's main towns are linked by a single ridge road, which makes a stop in Fira easy to fold into a day of sightseeing.
Greek island cooking centres on seafood, olive oil, feta and other local cheeses, and grilled meats, so a bottle from the shop pairs with most local menus. Winter brings rain and rough seas, and many island hotels and tavernas shut between November and March.
The meltemi, a strong northerly wind, blows across the Aegean in summer and can delay ferries, so build slack into any inter-island travel. Monk seals and loggerhead turtles live around the islands, and many have protected nesting beaches.
