Santorini Island

Santorini is considered to be the most famous and romantic getaway in Greece. There aren’t many places in the world where you can enjoy uniquely clear sea while perched on the rim of of a massive active volcano. Thira, Thirassia, Aspronissi, Palea and Nea Kameni are parts of this sprecious gem called Santorini. A trip to Santorini is the dream of anyone who has seen at least one photo of the island’s Caldera at sunset time.

Firá is the picturesque capital of the island; perched high up on the edge of the Caldera, it looks like a marvellous painting. Firá, together with Oia, Imerovígli and Firostefáni located high above on a cliff, make up the so-called “Caldera’s eyebrow”, the balcony of Santorini, which offers an amazing view of the volcano. Other famous smaller villages are Akrotíri and Méssa Vounó, with their famous archaeological sites, Pýrgos, Karterádes, Emporió, Ammoúdi, Finikiá, Períssa, Perívolos, Megalohóri, Kamári, Messariá and Monólithos: some of the villages are cosmopolitan some more peaceful; they are surrounded by vast vineyards; whitewashed cliff-top towns with castles affording amazing views out over the Aegean. Soaking up the villages’ distinctive traditional atmosphere is a very rewarding experience.

Venture into Santorini’s seaside treasures and enjoy deep blue waters and beaches with white, red or black sand or volcanic pebbles, spectacular rock formations and impressive lunar landscapes. Santorini, the youngest volcanic land in the Eastern Mediterranean, is waiting for you! Experience for yourself the once-in-a-lifetime romance and charm of this pearl of the Aegean.
