Santorini travel guide 6.A 2016

Already fascinated by the first sight: 300 meter high crater walls suddenly rise from the deep blue sea, snow-white cube houses cling to the crimson mountain ridges high above. Santoríni, the southernmost member of the "Cyclades" archipelago, is the bizarrely shaped remnant of a gigantic volcano, circa 1625 BC. BC erupted in one of the most powerful eruptions in world history. The unique landscape, as well as the beautiful archaeological finds - including many beautiful frescoes buried for thousands of years under a 60-meter-thick layer of pumice stone - have made Santoríni one of the most popular destinations in the Mediterranean. Reason enough to take a closer look at this fascinating island. The proven author Dirk Schönrock provides detailed information in his manual about history, attractions, beaches, hotels and taverns and invites the reader to varied walks.
