All this is Santorini and more . . . Santorini (THIRA) is one of the most southern islands of the Cyclades. It lies between Ios and Anafi and has an area of 96 square miles. It is situated 130 naut.miles from Piraeus and 70 naut.miles from Crete. The island is 18 km long. Fira is the island’s capital and Athinios is its main port. The Caldera & The Volcano Although written documents that could tell us exactly what happened do not exist, historians try to put together the events of the 15th century BC when the whole island was buried under a thick layer of ash and lava at many points 30 metres deep….Strongili…Strongili’ Santorini Island & It's History ARCHAEOLOGICAL MUSEUM OF FIRA The museum features remarkable finds from private collections, as well as from excavations of the Mesa Vouno, Sellada and Akrotiri sites, which date back to all the periods from the 3rd millennium BC., until the Roman years. AKROTIRI - THE DIGS Akrotiri is the best-preserved of all the prehistoric settlements discovered in the Aegean. Excavations confirm that the volcano erupted around 1500 BC. THE ISLAND - MAIN AREAS Fira - Firostefani - Imerovigli - Oia - Pyrgos - Megalochori - Akrotiri - Perissa - Perivolos - Messaria - Kamari - Monolithos BEACHES Kamari - Perissa & Perivolos Red beach - Monolithos - Armeni - Ammoudi - Pori - Baxedes - Koloumbos Oia - The Artisan Village Oia is Santorini's second largest village. Less cosmopolitan than Fira, it is more picturesque and without a doubt one of the most beautiful places on the island. Its streets are paved with marble rather than the cobblestones encountered elsewhere on the island. Perched on the Caldera, it boasts ruins of what was once a castle, and below that the tiny port of Ammoudi with its fish tavernas. One can reach the port by descending 214 steps or by car. Oia reached the peak of prosperity in the late 19th & early 20th century. Its economic prosperity was based on its merchant fleet which plied trade in the Eastern Mediterranean, especially from Alexandria to Russia. Hence the two-story captain's houses built on the highest part of the village which are a reminder of the village's former affluence.
