Santorini

Santorini, or Thira, is an island of the Cyclades in the southern Aegean Sea. Santorini is a rocky island with villages built on the caldera and on the cliffs of the volcano and is world famous for its dramatic beauty but also for the fact that it is the only island in the world whose caldera is inhabited.

On top of the caldera is built the capital, Fira as well as other settlements of the same beauty such as Firostefani, Imerovigli and Oia. Wonderful villages are still Pyrgos, Athinios, Gialos, Kasteli, Emporio, etc.

The beaches of Santorini are very different from the ones we are used to seeing in the Cyclades. They have black and red sand and imposing cliffs. The most famous are the Red Beach, the White Beach, Perivolos, Kamari, Monolithos, Vlyhada and Perissa.
