Vedema Resort, Santorini, Greece
Vedema is situated on a more than 500-year-old vineyard overlooking the medieval village of Megalohori. The resort was built in 1993 when Antonis Elliopoulos, the son of a notable shipping family, had the idea of developing the family’s summer estate into an innovative first-class resort reflective of Santorini’s culture and customs by creating a traditional Greek village made up of Grecian-style villas.
The old wine-harvest spot on the estate was selected as the resort’s focal point, where wines produced here are sold. Vedema renovated the old cellars under the village as wine-tasting room, private dinning room, and the Vinsanto Restaurant.
Vedema has 45 villas with sea, village, or vineyard views, with private Jacuzzis and pools for some.
