Santorini with its striking geological appearance is very different from other Cyclades islands. It's unique in the world and very impressive: a half sunken volcano with its huge cliff-faces plunging into the sea. The legend of the lost continent "Atlantis", began here! The island attracts large numbers of visitors for its reputed archaeological sites like Akrotiri (a 'prehistoric Pompeii'), ancient Thira, (on a superb position overlooking the sea) and also for the old-world romantic charm of Ia, the black sandy beaches, the wine tasting and the many other monuments and villages. Its many romantic traditional lodgings, hotels, villas and cave-houses are situated on the cliff side of the Caldera. |
