SANTORINI memories

Akrotiri beach Santorini island

Being extremely but extremely irritated by the cold weather here in Serbia (yesterday was -6!!). I've decided to "warm" myself- with looking at this summer's pics... Most of you already know I was in Santorini (in September when I finished my job as a travel guide in Greece)... completely unplanned...which is always the best at the end!!
Santorini (or Thira, which is also the name of the main city) is a volcanic island in the Aegean sea that belongs as well to the group of Cyclades islands. Called as one, but actually it is a complex of five islands. Santorini is the main island and around are: Thirasia and Aspronisi  and the two small volcanic islands Palea Kameni and Nea Kameni. Once upon a time this island had a round shape but today's half-moon shape is a result of a natural catastrophe - big volcano eruption . With this explosion is also explained the tragedy of the great and marvelous Minoan civilization (Crete, II mil.b.c.). The eruption left a large caldera surrounded by volcanic ash which is a huge tourist attraction today!
Santorini is the true "pearl" of the Greek tourism and a cosmopolitan place well known for its: amazing beaches with black and red sand (Kamari, Perissa, Red beach...), archaeological places like Akrotiri, excellent accommodation, restaurants and nightlife, great food (fish and sea food, fava, Santorini's cherry tomatoes, white eggplants...), wine (Vinsanto), and of course- paradise for shopping!!!:)
