Welcome to Santorini

Did the catastrophic volcanic eruption that ravaged Santorini circa 1600 BC destroy Crete's ancient Minoan civilization-and give birth to the myth of Atlantis? In 1967, archaeologists on Santorini unearthed the remains of a Bronze Age city that may have been home to as many as 30,000 people. Whether the Lost Continent of Atlantis is rooted in myth or reality, an undisputed fact remains. The eruption created a caldera and one of the most dramatic land and seascapes in the entire Mediterranean. On Santorini, white washed buildings cling to vertiginous cliffs that plunge to a turquoise sea. Part of the Cyclades Archipelago, the three island group of Santorini, Thirasia and uninhabited Aspronisi present the traveler with a unforgettable vistas.

Santorini - population 13,000. Rumoured to be the tips of mountains on the lost continent of Atlantis.

 

Whatever it is, it’s extraordinarily beautiful. Crystal clear blue skies, black sand, towering cliffs and traditional blue and white Greek buildings balancing in and on the cliffsides.

 

The only place in Europe to be classified as having a desert climate - as you can see - the day we went it wasn’t particularly chilly.

 

Lots to see, visit and do. Not too crowded when we went, as there was only one small cruise ship visiting. It gets far more crowded when there are 2 or 3 large liners pulled up.

 

Incredible, panoramic views from ultra-cool tavernas and bars perched on the cliff face. Prices a bit more than elsewhere on the islands, but still surprisingly reasonable. Stopped at 2 bars for drinks and a taverna for lunch. All had stunning views and reasonable prices. I must admit though, I don’t mind paying a premium for views like these.
