La actual forma que presenta la isla es el resultado de una explosión volcánica acaecida en el siglo XVII a.C. y que posiblemente acabó con la cultura minoica.
Catching up...school year starting! Wish I was back in Santorini feeding cats treats all day again.

George Meis (a well-known Greek photographer), who first photographed this house many years ago, said that it is one of the most beautiful houses in Santorini. Today a lot has changed, there are suites there, but this corner is still fortunately still very beautiful.
O Γιώργος Μέης, που πρώτος φωτογράφισε πριν πολλά χρόνια αυτό το σπίτι είπε ότι είναι από τα πιο όμορφα σπίτια της Σαντορίνης . Σήμερα έχουν αλλάξει πολλά , είναι σουίτες εκεί, αλλά αυτή η γωνία διατηρεί ακόμα ευτυχώς την ιδιαίτερη ομορφιά της , δείγμα της χαρακτηριστικής αρχιτεκτονικής της περιοχής .

With picture-perfect sunsets, Santorini is known not just as the most beautiful Greek island but as “the most beautiful place in the world.” It's also considered the most romantic, Instagrammable, Tik Tokable and magical “hidden gem” of Europe.

Taken in our garden at Bexhill-on-Sea, East Sussex this Spring.
Crocus (plural: crocuses or croci) is a genus of flowering plants in the iris family comprising 90 species of perennials growing from corms. Many are cultivated for their flowers appearing in autumn, winter, or spring. Crocuses are native to woodland, scrub, and meadows from sea level to alpine tundra in central and southern Europe, North Africa and the Middle East, on the islands of the Aegean, and across Central Asia to western China.
The name of the genus is derived from the Greek κρόκος (krokos). This, in turn, is probably a loan word from a Semitic language, related to Hebrew כרכום karkōm, Aramaic ܟܟܘܪܟܟܡܡܐ kurkama, and Arabic كركم kurkum, which mean "saffron" ( Crocus sativus), "saffron yellow" or turmeric (see Curcuma). The English name is a learned 16th-century adoption from the Latin, but Old English already had croh "saffron". The Classical Sanskrit कुङ्कुमं kunkumam "saffron" (Sushruta Samhita) is presumably also from the Semitic word.
Cultivation and harvesting of Crocus sativus for saffron was first documented in the Mediterranean, notably on the island of Crete. Frescos showing them are found at the Knossos site on Crete, as well as from the comparably aged Akrotiri site on Santorini.
The first crocus seen in the Netherlands, where crocus species are not native, were from corms brought back in the 1560s from Constantinople by the Holy Roman Emperor's ambassador to the Sublime Porte, Ogier Ghiselin de Busbecq. A few corms were forwarded to Carolus Clusius at the botanical garden in Leiden. By 1620, the approximate date of Ambrosius Bosschaert's painting (illustration, below), new garden varieties had been developed, such as the cream-colored crocus feathered with bronze at the base of the bouquet, similar to varieties still on the market. Bosschaert, working from a preparatory drawing to paint his composed piece spanning the whole of spring, exaggerated the crocus so that it passes for a tulip, but its narrow, grass-like leaves give it away.

Two houses for a living on the beautiful Greek island Santorini with modern but traditional lines and curves. Of course in white. Imerovigli, 2014.
Again, I would like to thank everyone for your support, views, faves and comments!
Firá (Greek: Φηρά, pronounced [fiˈra], official name Φηρά - Thira) is the modern capital of the Greek Aegean island of Santorini (Thera). A traditional settlement, "Firá" derives its name from an alternative pronunciation of "Thíra", the ancient name of the island itself.
Fira is a city of whitewashed houses built on the edge of the 400 metres (1,312 feet) high caldera on the western edge of the semi-circular island of Thera. The two main museums of interest are the Archaeological Museum of Thera, 30 metres (98 feet) east of the cable car entrance, and the Museum of Prehistoric Thera at the southeast corner of the White Orthodox Cathedral of Ypapanti ([it]), built on the site of an earlier church destroyed in the 1956 Amorgos earthquake. The town also hosts a number of churches, including the Cathedral of Ypapanti and the Three Bells of Fira.
With picture-perfect sunsets, Santorini is known not just as the most beautiful Greek island but as “the most beautiful place in the world.”

La caldera Santorini es una gran caldera volcánica, gran parte de la cual se encuentra sumergida, que se encuentra en la zona sur del mar Egeo, a 120 kilómetros de Creta en Grecia. Por encima de la superficie del mar está el grupo circular de las islas de Santorini, que se compone de Santorini (también llamada Thera), que es la isla principal, Therasia y Aspronisi en la periferia, y las dos islas Kameni en el centro del grupo.
La caldera mide unos 12 km x 7 km, con unos acantilados abruptos de 300 m de desnivel en tres de sus lados.
Existen dos pequeñas islas volcánicas en el centro de la caldera llamadas Nea ("Nueva") Kameni y Palea ("Vieja") Kameni.
