 | Santorini one of the most beautiful islands in the world, it is also geologically and archaeologically one of the most dramatic. The island which is also called Thira, is shaped like an enormous pair of jaws encircling a lake filled with pure blue water. The island's two towns, Fira and Ia, are perched on the cliff tops of the highest part of the island. |
 | The towns are equipped with hotels, good restaurants, bars and plenty of nightlife to keep tourists happy while they relax between visiting the archaeological remains of ancient Thera, dating back to the 9th century BC, on the east side of the island. Other attractions include the excavations at Akrotiri, an archaeological museum and an 18th-century monastery. Santorini has two swimming beaches, Perissa and Kamari, both characterised by their volcanic black sand. |
