Thira Santorini, Greece beach guide & holiday information
About three thousand years ago a massive volcanic eruption rained down on this area, totally destroying any and all human settlements of that time, including the Minoan civilisation, and what once was an island shattered into fragments. Santorini in Greece is situated on the remnants of this island and is found in the archipelago formed by the eruption.
This magnificent group of Greek islands lying south of the central Cyclades, attract upmarket passengers from cruise ships who come to view the still smoking active volcano. They sip their Margaritas as the sun sets and paints fantastic hues of gold and red in the sky. It is far and away the hottest and most popular spot of the travellers' itinerary, so tourists are warned to be prepared for heat because they are going to need those cooling spritses. Being one of the few islands with a major airport also assists in the popularity of this holiday spot. Obviously in such a tourist destination, there is no shortage of accommodation on Santorini, and all visitors, from rich and famous to the average Joe and his family travelling on a package tour. all are welcomed and catered for.
Of course there is much more to Santorini than expensive hotels and sunsets. As it is a remainder of the volcano that blew its top all those years ago, the inside walls are sheer precipices that reveal the different layers of lava that have solidified and formed the caldera. The beaches surrounding the water come in all textures and colours, pebble, black sand, red sand and white sand, perfect for a beach holiday. Population for the city of Thira Santorini is around 2,376
