About Santorini


SANTORINI ...one of the most impressive islands in the world

Great poets have sung its praises.... a 4000-year-old history.

"...And the eternal rock continues to stand,
strong and majestic,
rising proudly from the sea
and guarding well the secrets of Atlantis..."

Regarded by many people as the most mysterious and scenic places on earth, Santorini reaches out to you, captivates your spirit and grabs you by the heart from the minute you step on its soil.
Nested in the heart of the Aegean, the island is legendary in its wild and unreserved beauty, once named Kallisti by the Argonauts
(the most beautiful).
The Caldera, which is in fact the rim of the carter, view offers the most breathtaking and stunning view of all islands in Greece.
It is one of the few places on the planet that offers both sunsets and moonsets from exactly the same perch.
With its marvellous climate and perfect observation conditions, its prominent caldera, it is also an eldorado for volcanologists.

Santorini is the most southern Cycladic island in the Aegean Sea.
Over the centuries her name changed several times: Kallisti, Strongyli and Thera.
The name Santorini was given to the island when it was invaded by the Venetians in honour of Saint Irene, Santa Irini.
We refer to Santorini as one island, but actually it is a collection of five islands.
Santorini (Thera), the main island is surrounded by Thirassia and Aspronissi (parts of the ancient Strongyli) as well as by the two volcanic islands Palea Kameni and Nea Kameni.
The two volcanic islands appeared much later as a result of various eruptions the first one in 157 BC and the last one in 1950.
