Santorini Holidays - Greece

The island of Santorini was created by several geological changes and that took place thousands of years ago.
Full of natural beauties, the untamed island pulses with infinite, black coasts, deep blue waters, rugged sites and wild nature. Moreover, due to the volcanic nature of the island, the lava has given this multifarious landscape the enigmatic shades of brown, red, black and gray as well as the mysterious and beautiful sea bottom making it perfect diving location and honeymoon destination.

The modern name is a free takeover of the Frankish "Santa Irina", probably due to the Basilica of St. Irene, which was in those years in Perissa.

The island, which in ancient times was called Strogyli (Greek for "the circular"), but after the great volcanic eruption in 1613 BC ... only remained half-round, was first settled in the 9th century BC by Dorians (ancient Greek tribe) whose commander was Thiras. Hence the later name, Thira.
After the conquest of Constantinople by the famous robber that time (in Western Europe as a crusader known), came the Franks and later the Turks also to Santorini.

Today Santorini is one of those goals that you should have visited in his life.

Places to visit

Oia, Akrotiri, Fira, Perissa, Kamari

Must see. Points of interest.

  1. The volcano.
    Well this is hard to miss. The caldera was created during the big eruption in 1,613 BC which is known has resulted in the destruction of the prehistoric culture both of Santorini, and probably also that of Crete. This explosion has been recorded as the second strongest in world history and the results we see and admire ... yet. Incidentally, the volcanoes of Santorini is still active with the last activity of 1950.
  2. The Archaeological Museum of Fira.
    Noteworthy findings from ancient Thira, but ... few
  3. The Prehistoric Museum of Santorini (also Fira)
    Located two steps from the main bus station, uphill to the Church of the Visitation. It contains artifacts primarily from the archaeological site of Akrotiri, including unique murals with representations from the plant and animal kingdom, objects and everyday tools and a remarkable series of vessels, samples of the Early Cycladic pottery.
    Impression will make jugs of various shapes and sizes that resemble birds. Expert Opinion however is that this representation of women and two small knobs on the front of the pots are not eyes ...!
    Open daily, except Mondays, until 20:00 in the evening.
  4. The Minoan City in Akrotiri (when it opens again)
  5. The Windmills in Emporio
  6. The Castle "Skaros" in Imerovigli
  7. The Monastery of Prophet Elias
  8. The Tower
    Residue medieval fortified city with beautiful narrow streets, built on a hill, gazes Santorini from the one end to the other.
  9. The sunset from Oia Castle
  10. A walk through the streets of Fira
  11. The black beaches of Kamari, Perissa and PerivolosKamari the most foreign tourists prefer (probably because there bring them their agencies). Perissa is somewhat quieter and usually prefer families, and just below in Perivolos the sea is more convenient for swimming. But whatever beach you choose the view and only the black (coarse) sand will amaze you.
