HISTORY

Aeons of Santorinian Beauty

It is said that Santorini was the mythical Atlantis; the highly advanced civilization unearthed at Akrotiri suggests this might be the case. After the devastating volcanic eruption that formed the caldera, Spartans colonized Santorini and built the majestic Ancient Thera. Later, in medieval times, Byzantines and Venetians left their marks on the island, which now carries in its time-honoured history memories of every civilization that passed through its lands. Santorini’s history is evident in every corner; explore its hidden gems and discover what makes this island so unique and beautiful.

BEACHES

Where Volcanic Beauty Meets the Aegean Blue

Santorini’s coasts come in many colours, a gift bestowed by the volcano. You’ve heard of the Red Beach, perhaps the most impressive beach of the Cyclades, and its sister, the White Beach.
