Santorini

The Island

The island of Santorini or Thira is an island of the Cyclades complex in the southern Aegean Sea. It abstains from Piraeus 128 nautical miles with an area of up to 75.8 square kilometers. It is known for its volcanoes, which are the youngest in Greece and one of the most active throughout Europe. Santorini belongs to the volcanic arrow of the Aegean and is classified as an active volcano.

The Minoan explosion which occurred in 1613 BC resulted in the creation of what is today known as the “ Caldera” of Santorini, as well as the total destruction of  its civilization and gave the island the half moon shape it has today. From first glance the side of the volcano is presented somewhat rocky in contrast to its smooth interior.

The climate is humid and the soil mostly consists of sponge rock which is ideal for cultivation.
The island main export is wine as the local vineyards prosper from the volcanic soil in conjunction with low rain as well as the winds. The main varieties of wines produced are the “Nychteri”, and the infamous Vinsanto which is used by the Catholic Church for Holy Communion.  Cherry tomatoes, fava and katsounia (a type of cucumber) are also produced on the island.

All the traditions and customs are still upheld within the local wedding ceremonies, while on Big Friday at the village of Pyrgos little cans are lit with oil at the points where the Epitaph will pass by resulting in a mesmerizing sight leaving one humbled.
