SANTORINI
Santorini is the last of the Cyclades island to the South. The closests
islands are Ios, Folegandros, Sikinos to the North, Anafi and Amorgos to the
East and Crete to the South.
We refer to Santorini as one, but actually is complex of five islands. Santorini
(Thira) is the main island and around it Thirasia and Aspronisi (parts of the
ancient Stroggili) and the two volcanic islands Palea Kameni and Nea Kameni. |

It was one island named Stroggili (circle
in Greek) until about 1645 BC, when the volcano in
the middle of the island erupted and Caldera was created.
The two volcanic islands appeared much later from various
eruptions starting 157 BC and the last one to be in
the 20th century (1950).
Santorini is connected to Piraeus, Thessaloniki, Crete,
Rhodes, Kos and all the major Cyclades islands (Mykonos,
Paros, Naxos, Ios, Sifnos, Milos, Tinos, Syros) by
boat and Athens and many countries direct by plane.
KAMARI
Kamari was the first beach that become a big summer resort in Santorini and not
without a reason. The beach is several kilometers long the water crystal clear and
all across the beachfront are numerous tavernas, cafe and clubs. Kamari is active
also in the night. Many visitors keep it in mind as a place where you can
spend your entire vacation. |
