CYCLADES
SIGHTSEEING - SANTORINI
Santorini
is one of the few sites of Greece with wild beauty created by the
explosion of a volcano which is in the middle of the gulf of the
island.
Santorini consists of
three islands: Thira, Thirasia and the Aspronisi. Your trip to this
island, in the southeast of the Cyclades, will be unforgettable.
It offers 3500 years
of history visible through the archaeological sites, excavation
sites, monuments, museums, old churches and monasteries.
After 2000 BC it
developed a very advanced civilization which had a very close
relationship with the Minoan civilization in the nearby island of
Crete.
On contrast to the
sheer cliffs on the west, the coast on the eastern side of the
island has endless stretches of beach with sand or shingle.
On the east coast
there are Monolithos, Kamari and Perissa. In the south coast there
are Perivolos, Ai Giorgis, Eksomitis and Vlihada.
Picturesque villages,
shopping centres, cultural events will keep you busy during your
vacation.
Free time activities
include: horse riding, swimming, water skiing, surfing, gliding,
tennis, etc.
Everything you could
wish for, you'll find it here. In Fira you can find bouzoukia, discos bars,
pubs and a cinema. In Oia, Kamari and Perissa you can find bars, pubs
and disco. At Imerovigli, Emporio and Pirgo Kallistis you can find bouzoukia.
