civilization. Fira, the island's capital, sits on the very rim of the crater nearly

300 meters above the sea with a spectacular view to the sea. Views from the western

coast are spectaculars and sunsets are sensational. Island's architecture is unique

with many of 'barrel-roofed' cave houses. The South East coast is covered by black

sand beaches which become very hot in the sun. Santorini's wines are some of the

best in Greece and most of them are made from a variety of grapes called

'Assyrtiko'. Getting There - Daily ferry connections with Piraeus (9 Hours), Crete
