Discover Santorini

Santorini is a volcanic island that is part of the greek Cyclades Islands, as well as Mykonos and Paros, and is located between Ios and Anafi. The island is now an important tourist destination thanks to its stunning scenery, beautiful beaches and picturesque villages that are definitely worth a visit. Because of its great tourist importance, Santorini has a very rich range of accommodations on offer, ranging from family-run hotels to 5-star hotel facilities (such as the Antinea Suites & Spa Hotel Santorini).

Villages in Santorini.The current shape of the island derives from an explosion that occurred in ancient times, which generated a flooded crescent caldera, in the centre of which there are some small smoking islands. Some villages overlook the caldera: Fira (the main town of Santorini), Tharasis and Ia (also called Oia); the latter is perhaps the most charming place in Santorini, where you can admire a spectacular sunset. The village is in fact close to the sea, but, unlike many others, allows you to fully admire the sunset over the sea. Definitely worth a visit are even the areas outside of the villages, where you can discover vineyards, gardens, small churches and cave houses, some of which are uninhabited.

Tourist attractions. Santorini boasts a wide variety of beaches, the most famous of which are the black pebbles beach of Kamari, the Red Beach near the village of Akrotiri and the small White Beach which is accessible only by sea. Thanks to its crystal clear sea, the island is an ideal destination for sports lovers, who enjoy the various water sports like scuba diving and snorkeling. In addition to its natural wonders, Santorini also has some historical attractions. For example you can visit the ancient Minoan city of Akrotiri, preserved in volcanic ash, the city of Thera, founded by the Dorians in the ninth century BC, and Fira, where you will find the Museum of Prehistoric Thera and the Archaeological Museum. Santorini is therefore an interesting tourist destination for both group travel and romantic vacations. The island in fact has been for some years a popular destination for weddings and honeymooners.
