THE ISLAND

Few places in the world combine beautiful beaches, spectacular scenery, unique traditional architecture, impressive ancient cities, some of the world's best wine varieties, and a volcano with a habitable caldera. Santorini boasts all of the above, and much, much more! Consequently, Santorini makes for a famous holiday destination, brimming with life every summer, providing a manifold of choices to visitors, as far as day-and-night entertainment is concerned.

Roam the cobblestoned alleys of the capital town, Fira, and visit the charming traditional villages dotted across the island to admire the Cycladic architecture, as well as the spectacular sea and sunset vistas from vantage viewpoints. While at it, don’t forget to sample the unique Theran products in tourist shops, traditional taverns and restaurants, and stop by the ancient sites and archaeological attractions to learn about the rich history of the island.

One of the most important is the Minoan settlement of Akrotiri, a commercially thriving ancient city that was entirely covered by volcanic ash when the volcano erupted, in about 1,500 BC. Another, probably less-known, archaeological site in Santorini is Ancient Thera. It crowns a hill above Perissa, and the location offers, apart from the impressive archaeological findings, a bewitching panoramic view as well. Memories of a lifetime await you in this magnificent Cycladic island – let the adventure begin!
