Santorini 1 Day Tour with speedboat.
Many
reasons have made this dream island globally famous and many of us have seen
magnificent picture of it.
Scientists relate Santorini to the mythical Atlantis. Also, Jules Verne has
made Santorini famous through his novels “Twenty thousand leagues under
the sea” and “The mysterious island”.
Santorini is an ancient island, where the life of the volcano has significantly
influenced the island’s structure and the lifestyle of its inhabitants
through-out history. Another reason that has made the island well known is the
view of the “Caldera”, which is one of the most fascinating sceneries
on the plane planet.
Santorini is considered to be the lost
Atlantis…
The present-day crescent shape of the island is a consequence of a
volcano activity during prehistoric times. The island itself owes its very
existence to the volcano eruption.
The marvelous dry climate and unbroken sunshine create year around
conditions which are perfect for observation, photographs and videos under
an extraordinary variety of natural lights and colors while gives you the
exceptional advantage of reaching the interior of the volcano by boat.
Taking the speed boat across and joining the
professional guide who will let you in on all of the history is a firm
favorite amongst holiday makers.
Enjoy the fabulous and breath- taking views!
The history of Santorini has the advantage of
continuous evolution and configuration by itself. In the past the island was
not a part of the Cyclades island group and it used to be a
single round island, called Strogili until the eruption.
The first habitants of Santorini were the Pre-Greeks who appeared around 3000
BC. In 1613 BC there was a huge explosion of the volcano. The
Finios people were driven there by the beauty of the island around 1300
BC.
Franks came to Thira in 1204 AD and named it Santorini.(Saint-Irene)
The island has been widely known for its unique breath-taking view, beauty and colors:
Black sand, white washed houses, red cliffs and the deep blue Aegean Sea.
