Mesa Gonia is among Santorini’s many quaint villages, and is located less than 8 kilometers from the capitol, Fira.
The region is known for its red wines and both the Roussos Winery and the Argyros Estate are located in Mesa Gonia, and open for tasting, although a call in advance is suggested. Visit the Church of Panagia Episkopi, which dates back to the 11th century. The church was commissioned by Byzantine emperor Alexios I Komnenos.
According to myth, an icon once dug into a nearby cliff disappeared one day, a sign that it no longer wanted to be buried, but displayed in a chapel.
