Santorini Island: The stunning pre-volcanic island (Part – 3)

By Asad Russel –

After Part – 2
At the Santorini Island what to see:
For the myth of Atlantis was the inspiration that this event some have speculated. Facing into the caldera bay cling to the steep cliffs the towns of Thirasis, Ia as Oia also known and Fira. Readily are available tours to the central ‘smoking’ islands and the steam vents one can feel and see and the recent lava flows in 1950.

The legendary sunset is another popular reason for the people for coming to Santorini Island, in the world some of the most spectacular. Over the sea to a sunset both offers a good view and close to the sea on the island among the few places Ia is one of them, behind the volcano the sun disappears in other towns. But the town of Fira is stunning.

Outside of the towns the areas be sure to explore. Where still survives the tradition, there is the beautiful countryside. There are to be discovered both occupied and abandoned the Cave houses, tiny churches, small family business, gardens and vineyards.

For at least four years for wedding destination among top destinations Santorini Island ranks, like those in Oia primarily for peace and sunset. With few friends couples often arrived, like Fanari Villas in the places of Ia stay. In the beginning of the week often arrive the groups, compared to weekends on Mondays seen for number of corteges and cabrios judging by demand.

With medium and top cost villas and hotels while the island is full, lots of modest private houses and abandoned caves there are still where for a long time none seems to live, by some villa to be occupied every inch where seems in the western Oia even. And by judging from 2001 to 2005 to change for years this doesn’t seem.

● The Thirassia –
Near the Santorini small island, with the more authentic buildings, churches and villages even the place. In the yard at hymnasia you can take a look, on the walls pupil painted children.

● The Faros –
Near the Akrotiri a lighthouse, of the island west of the southern part. For taking photos with the rocky cliff this place is interesting. Although in the lighthouse you can enter, by Greek Navy which is run, for taking photos it’s a tranquil and great place.

● The boat excursions -   
From the Ia to Nea Kameni (the volcano island) – Palia Kameni (the hot springs) – Thriassia, the starting and end point at 10:50 am from the Ammoudi bay departure, from Armeni bay a bit later. At the volcano island about 1 hour and 30 min, for the hot spring 30 minutes, for Thirassia 2 hours. Not included the meals, to visit Captain Jack’s tavern the guides will advise you normally, with a big group or if you don’t operators with waiters if you arrive which is self-service. At the cheapest prices amazing fresh seafood’s the restaurant serves. How good it is you can testament, is the fact that are over busy none of the adjacent restaurants you will notice that.
