7° day - Ios – Santorini (or Thira) / 30 miles / 2hrs
SANTORINI
Many reasons have made this island famous
worldwide. Its great wines, the international and local
cuisine but most of all, the villages which are situated
on cliffs and offer breathtaking view over the submerged
volcano. The island also has impressive beaches with the
sand of tour choice: black, red or white! Thira together
with the smaller islands of Thirasia and Aspro are part
of a volcanic crater, which has been engulfed by the
sea. In the centre are the Kammeni islands, the cones of
later volcanoes, which came into being in historical
times. Hot springs and emissions of gas bear witness to
continuing volcanic activity.
