Santorini is a small island, located at the south end of the Cyclades island complex.

The island hosted on of the most brilliant civilizations of the Bronze Age. During the Early Bronze Age (3rd millenium B.C.), a sizeable settlement was founded and in the Middle and early Late Bronze Age (ca. 20th-17th centuries B.C.) it was extended and gradually developed into one of the main urban centres and ports of the Aegean.

The eruption of the volcano in the 16th century B.C, created the famous caldera and caused the destruction of the theran civilization but at the same time covered with volcanic ash its remains, giving us the opportunity nowdays to be amazed in front of the three storeys buildings!

Santorini or Thera, is positioned between Ios and Anafi. At the western end of the caldera, we find the island of Therasia and an inhabitant island, Aspronissi. Santorini has a fertile volcanic soil. Cultivated carefully over the years, this soil has made Santorini well known for its products. First of all its wines. Santorini has some of the best wines worldwide. After all, the biggest part of the cultivation is vines. Fava is also famous, a legume smaller than a pea, exported all over the world.

A special breed of tomatoes is also produced. The lack of water resulted, over the years, in evolving very small tasty tomatoes. A kind of cheese, named chloro, is made from goat milk. Finally, Santorini exports the famous pumice stone, used worldwide.
