Is DOMUS K 1885 a museum?
DOMUS K 1885 is a historic Captain’s House and cultural experience. Rather than being a traditional museum, it is a living historic space where visitors can experience the atmosphere, stories, architecture, artifacts and heritage connected to the house and its former inhabitants.
The Canava
Visit the historic Canava - the traditional Santorini winery where wine has been crafted for centuries within volcanic stone walls.
The Canava is more than a cellar: it is a space of transformation, where grapes are pressed, left to ferment and finally wine is brought to life through time-honoured techniques.
Its architecture reflects both function and heritage. The main chamber houses wooden barrels and larger vessels, while a vaulted passage extends inward, once home to the wine presses. The fermentation vats - remain central to this process, preserving the authenticity of Santorini’s winemaking tradition.
