Santorini
Island Greece
Easily the most visited island in Greece and the most unique.
Widely regarded as the most dazzlingly beautiful of all the islands.
The lost Atlantis of legend, seductive, magical, romantic. Santorini
or Thira is what remains of an enormous volcanic eruption - said
to have destroyed Minoan civilisation. From the lofty heights of
Fira gaze down on the miniature looking cruise ships, the deep azure
of the Aegean over the Caldera and wait for the most breathtaking
sunsets this side of the equator.
The Cyclades - Easily
the most visited and famous of the island chains. Each summer thousands
of tourists take the ferry boats as they ply between the numerous
islands that make up the Cycladic group. Santorini and Mykonos take
the lions' share of visitors - who come to marvel at some of the
most impressive views in the Mediterranean or revel in wild night
life. But
the enduring benefit of these islands is their proximity to one
another - thus island hopping has become an established pattern.
While many desire nothing more than to drift around the Aegean until
an island takes their fancy others are intent on seeing as many
as possible during their stay. With such a rich array of uniquely
different choices the Cyclades look set to remain the destination
for visitors who want to be able to experience the crazy, the quiet,
the famous, the historic, the beautiful and the exotic - all in
a week!
