Destination

Enchanting and with much photographed sunsets, thousands of images and memories painted in blue, red and gold, endless romances, amazing food … Santorini is all this and more! Many artists have tried over the years to sketch the natural beauty of the island, but the truth is you must visit Santorini to understand the grandeur of its magic. As an island created in the aftermath of volcanic explosions, Santorini has many unique features; they call it the "Pompeii of the Aegean", and for good reason. Fira, the capital of the island, as well as many of its villages, is built on and adorn the edges of rocky cliffs, offering a spectacular view of the volcano and the Aegean Sea. The picturesque streets of Fira and Oia invite you to explore them and discover each and every nook and cranny of the white small houses and narrow passageways, which, in most cases, are carved into the cliffs. The atmosphere of the island draws you like a magnet and makes it difficult for you to let go ... The beaches of Santorini are also unique, with black volcanic sand, crystal clear waters and variety: some are suited to those who wish to spend a day full of adventures at the beach, others are more suited to those who seek calmness and relaxation. Even so, if you are looking for a romantic escape with a breathtaking view, combined with exquisite beaches suitable for all tastes and preferences and amazing traditional cuisine, Santorini is the place you are looking for. So, come on board and let us take you to our beloved island of Santorini!

history

The history

According to research and excavations in Santorini, the first human presence on the island goes back to the Neolithic period. The discoveries made in a city buried near Akrotiri and the splendid Red Beach revealed the existence of an ancient Minoan colony, which is very much reminiscent of the cities found in Crete. In ancient times, the island of Santorini was known as Strongili. In 1500 B.C., Strongili suffered a huge volcanic explosion, which sunk the center of Santorini, while the many subsequent earthquakes destroyed a large segment of the remaining island. According to history, the Phoenicians settled in ancient Thera around 1300 B.C. and remained there for five generations. Afterwards, around 1100 B.C., the island was taken over by the Lacedaemonians. In the 7th and 6th centuries B.C., Thera traded with most islands and cities in Greece, while during the Hellenistic period, it became a major trading center and naval base, due to its perfect strategic location. The island was under Byzantine rule from 1200 to 1579 A.D., and in 1204 A.D., it was ceded to Marco I Sanudo of Venice and became part of the Duchy of the Aegean. Venetians named the island after Santa Irini, a Catholic church. Afterwards, during Turkish rule, Santorini achieved a growth in trade, but because of the wars, its economy went into decline, and residents abandoned the island after the devastating earthquake of 1956. The island's tourism development started during the '70s, and it is currently one of the most popular destinations around the world.

Santorini

Palea & Nea Kameni (Santorini Volcano)

Santorini is gifted with a unique type of natural beauty and a fierce landscape, which was formed as a result of the long number of volcanic explosions over the years. Although the island's enormous volcano has been inactive since its last explosion back in the 1950s, it is still regarded as active and the crescent-shaped caldera is one of the most famous points of interests in the entire Aegean Sea. Other than its main island, the caldera of Santorini also includes two smaller islands made exclusively of black lava, whose names are Palea Kameni and Nea Kameni, or Ifaisteio. In terms of geography, this small island complex was the youngest group of islands to emerge from the sea in the East Mediterranean region. The active volcano of Santorini is among the top sights of the island, and one of the largest underwater active volcanoes in the world.

Caldera

The crescent-shaped caldera of Santorini is a unique jewel of the Aegean Sea, and also one of the most spectacular places to visit. Thousands of people arrive each year to enjoy their vacations in the picturesque villages of the caldera and enjoy the view, thus making Santorini one of the most photographed locations in Greece. At an altitude of 150 to 350 meters, the caldera was formed more than 3,500 years ago, when a huge volcanic explosion changed the landscape of the Mediterranean Sea for good. There are many legends linking the caldera of Santorini with the legend of the lost Atlantis. Enjoy unique sunsets and marvel at the single inhabited caldera in the whole wide world!

Wineries

The wineries of Santorini are a great part of the island's history, because its volcano has created a very particular ecosystem, and the volcanic soil assists the growth and flourishing of vines. Enjoy the opportunity to become acquainted with the wine tradition of Santorini through its famous wine roads of Santorini, which include tours and wine tasting sessions of the island's various wine varieties. Santorini is host to 16 wineries, which are visited by more than 170,000 visitors annually. Pay them a visit on your next trip to Santorini and become immersed in the entire winemaking process, while tasting its unique and excellent varieties.

Fava

Santorini fava is a dish that you must definitely try out when you visit the island. What makes it so special is the fact that fava, as an ingredient, is grown on the island itself, therefore it is served fully fresh on your plate, without any artificial processing. History shows that fava has been grown on the island for nearly 3,500 years. Fava is a type of small yellow pea, which are planted in December and harvested in June. What makes them unique is the volcanic soil of Santorini, which gives them their sweet rich taste.

Tomatokeftedes (Tomato meatballs)

After fava, the next must-east dish you ought to try out in Santorini is its traditional tomatokeftedes. The volcanic soil and salty breeze of Santorini affect the tomatoes growing on the island and make them even more tasteful and aromatic than any other tomato you might have tasted. This extraordinary, juicy, vegetarian dish is usually served as appetizer, and is prepared by mixing chopped tomatoes, onion, peppers, mint and other aromatic herbs in batter. Afterwards, the mixture is kneaded into bite-sized chunks, which are fried in olive oil.

Chlorotiri

Produced in limited quantities, chlorotiri is a local cheese that can be found only on the island of Santorini. With a slightly sour taste and creamy texture, this white cheese is made from goat's or sheep's milk solely by local and expertly skilled producers. You can enjoy chlorotiri spread over bread, or mixed in a traditional Santorini salad, which will definitely include the island's renowned cherry tomatoes and capers!
