Self guided and informative - We did the self guided tour of the museum which gave us the opportunity to go at our own pace. The wine tasting was good. The only negative is that we weren’t sure when and how to be picked up once completed. I called the Viator company and they had someone come quite quickly which was nice.

Wine museum cost €20 per person to enter - Base price was €20 per person for entry, no discount for older Australians, didn’t go in. One good note, is that the local bus that runs between Fira and Kamera beach will drop you almost 100 m flat walk, cost for the additional stop is another €1.60 one way per person.
