I will be staying in Fira and want to spend a day visiting Pyrgos and Megalochori then on to Venetsanos for a tasting, Akrotiri site, dinner at To Psaraki, then back to Fira. It looks like the buses service the majority of this area but I am wondering if it will impact my timeline particularly because I have set time slots at the end of the day. This is what I am thinking:
- 8:30am Take bus from Fira towards Perissa, arrive at Pyrgos stop about 9am and spend about 2 hours exploring, taking pics, and shopping, have an early lunch at Penelope's (leaving Pyrgos about 12:15pm),
- 12:30ish - Back on the bus towards Perissa and getting off at the winery stop for Venetsanos tasting (plan to stay about 1-1.5 hrs).
- 2:30pm - Back on the bus, stopping at Megalochori to explore a bit and take a few pics (about 1 hr).
- 3:30pm - Take the bus towards Akrotiri site. I have a 5pm slot (check in at 4:30) to visit the site. I plan to stay about 1.5 hours.
I plan to book a reservation at To Psaraki for 7pm and request that they coordinate taxi for me from Akrotiri to the restaurant (pickup from Akrotiri site around 6:15pm) and back to Fira after dinner.
Does this timeline make sense or am I underestimating the time I will be spending waiting for the bus to arrive? Should I walk to the winery and if so, should I walk from Pyrgos or Megalorchori? Any other feedback?
