Valuable
Information about SANTORINI
Santorini (or in greek called Thera )
surely is one of the most spectacular and most beautiful islands on earth.
It was shaped into its present form
3500 years ago, by one of the most vehement volcanic eruptions in the history of mankind.
The outcome was this island full of contrast.
Kilometres of beach-length of black
sand alternate with presipitous crater walls rising to up to 350 meters of height, and
revealing breathtaking views on the azure sea and the still active volcano. Views you will
never forget.
The island is covered with fields and
vineyards, yielding by far the best wine of Greece. In all the little villages on the
island it feels like time standing still. And whoever has not seen pictures of
Fira, the capital, with its unique position high up on the edge of the crater!
Shining bright houses and churches in the
foreground of a deep blue Greek sky. And the permanent view over the island and the sea.
It is really difficult to take one`s eye off the sight.
Locals about themselves: "We`re
not people, we are Santorinians". And their hospitality is amazing.
