INFORMATION ON SANTORINI Santorini was elected as the second best island in the world! http://www.travelandleisure.com/worldsbest/results.cfm?cat=islands The volcanic island of the Cyclades, Santorini, lies 128 miles from the port of Piraeus, and presents a breathtaking site from the water with white house perched on the cliff top. It covers an area of 75 square kilometers and has about 10 000 permanent residents. a brief history The formation of Santorini is due to various geological occurences, many volcanic eruptions and earthquakes so violent as to change the shape of the island several times. Dorians, Venetians and Turks occupied Santorini, but its most influencial early inhabitants were the Minoans. They came from Crete some time between 2000 and 1600 BC, and the settlement of Akrotiri dates from the height of their great civilization. The island then was circular and was called Kalisti of Stroggylis (the Round One). Around 1650 BC a chain of earthquakes and eruptions culminated in one of the largest explosions in the history of the planet. Thirty cubic kilometers of magma spewed forth and a column of ash 36 kilometers high jetted into the atmosphere. So much magma was ejected that the magma chambers of the volcano gave way and the centre of the island collapsed, leaving a caldera with high cliffs-one of the world's most dramatic geological sights. After the Big One, Santorini once again settled down for a time and was recolonised. In 236 BC volcanic activity resumed and separated Thirasia from the main land. The last major earthquake on the island, measuring 7.8 on the Richter scale savaged the island in 1956. Should you walk around the villages, you will find many abandoned mansions from this period. climate climate climate Santorini enjoys a typical Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and mild winters. In July and August the mercury can soar to 40 Celsius (over 100 Fahrenheit). July and August are also the months of the meltemi, a northerly wind that sweeps the Aegean. The wind reduces humidity and offers welcome relief from the heat. November is when the rains start in most areas. local produce local produce local produce Due to its volcanic nature, local goods are produced in small quantities but are of excellent quality. Santorini produces some of the best wines from all over the world such as 'nichtere' , 'brusko', 'malavazias' and 'Visanto'. A special hybrid of small tasty tomatoes are grown and exported to produce the famous 'belte' (tomato paste). Furthermore Santorini exports pumice stone, used worldwide. he villages the villages fira is the capital of the island. Walk along the edge of the caldera for a spectacular views of the cliffs and their multicoloured strata of lava and pumice. In Fira you can visit the Archeological Museum, which contains a collection of Thiraika vessles and findings which date back to the Roman years. The Venetian Gizi Mansion where you can find a collection of engravings dating back to the 15th century. Of further interest are the monasteries of Dominicanon and Panagias of Rothariou. imerovigli (3km from Fira) has a unique atmosphere: breathtaking views, verandas hanging over the caldera and luxurious semi-underground apartments on the cliff's edge. A walk to Skaros is an absolute must and the monastery of St. Nicolas built in 1614 is worth seeing. oia ( 11km from Fira) built on a steep slope of the caldera, the village is striking and dramatic with many of its dwellings nestled in niches hewn into the volcanic rock. Oia is famous for viewing spectacular sunsets. It is worth following the narrow winding road to Ammoudi, a tiny port with excellent fish tavernas. There is also a lovely swimming spot pyrgos ( 7.5 km from Fira) is a medieval jewel. The village still preserves the structure and characteristics of the fortified Ventian town, surmounted by its castle. Pyrgos was one of the five fortified towns built by the Venetians in the 15th century. A stroll through the narrow vaulted lanes past stone houses brings you to the top to enjoy a panoramic view of the island. megalochori (9.5 km from Fira) is a rock village dug into the bed of a torrent in the interior of the island that is know to have existed since at least the middle of the 17th century. A small place (the name means 'Big Village') but with a lively community, old mansions, restored canavas and numerous churches. A picturesque settlement definitely worth a visit! perissa (13.2 km from Fira) It is the longest beach on the island and is seperated from Kamari by the rocky mass of Messa Vouno. Three hundred metres from the church of Aghia Irini, an ancient path winds up to the Doric city of Thira, at the summit of the black rock. perivolos (14 km from Fira) with its wet black pebbles and deep water, perivolos is one of the most popular seaside resorts. You will find excellent fish tavernas on the beach road. akrotiri (15 km from Fira) Ancient Acrotiri was a Minoan outpost; excavations began in 1967 uncovered an ancient city beneath the volcanic ash. Buildings some three storeys high, date to the late 16th century BC. A good guide book or a guided tour is recommended should you visit this site.
