3 Imerovigli- Skaros A 30 minute route, where steps lead to the Venetian Kasteli (fortified settlement) of Skaros, on the top of a steep rock over the sea. The view is tremendous all the way along. 4 Perissa –Mesa Vouno- Ancient Thera After one hour's hike, we reach Mesa Vouno, the archaeological site of ancient Thera, where one can wander around iera odos (path to a temple), the agora, the theatre, the sanctuaries, the Gymnasium, the Roman thermae. 5 Pyrgos– Mesa Vouno- Profitis Ilias- Ancient Thera A 4km route south of Pyrgos, in a beautiful area which has been included in the Natura 2000 network, leads to the highest peak of the island (566m), in Mesa Vouno. The monastery also accommodates an Ecclesiastical and Folk Museum, with rare exhibits like the manuscript codices from the 8th century, icons of the Cretan School from the 15th century, and the mitre of archbishop Gregorios V. The route ends at ancient Thera. 6 The trip around the caldera on a boat and a visit to the islands of Nea Kameni, Palea Kameni and Therasia are unique experiences. In Nea Kameni, following a 30 minute walk on particularly warm soil, you will stand before the crater! The strong smell near the crater indicates the presence of sulphur, also concentrated in the green waters of the coasts. Palea Kameni has warm springs and yellowish-blue waters coloured by sulphur. Sea and action The beaches of Santorini, with their characteristic black or reddish sand, are charming in a special way: Exo Gialos, the Red and the White beach, Mesa Pigadia with the unique cave, Vlychada with the yellowish weathered rocks that form small caves and natural sculptures – a magnificent scenery! The settlement of Kamari features a very long beach and Perissa an endless beach of black sand and dark blue waters. Perissa is also the settlement where the largest church of Santorini, 82
S a n t o r i n i Timios Stavros (19th century) is located. In Pori, one can admire the large church of Panagia Kalou (1650) and enjoy swimming at a remote sandy beach. For the friends of diving, there are two diving centres: in Perissa and in Kamari. Feasts and flavours Santorini produces products of special quality and taste. The wines “brousko”, “nychteri” and sweet “vinsanto” are very famous. The locally produced dark-yellow fava beans make the basic ingredient for numerous delicious traditional dishes (puree, croquettes, soups). Also the tomato croquettes with the unique fleshy tomatoes of Santorini are out of this world! Another delicacy, the salted “apokti”. Traditional dishes cooked on the stove and local wine are available at the restaurants and taverns of the island, but it would be best if you could try them at one of the numerous feasts. The feast at the monastery of Profitis Ilias on 20 July, the celebration of Panagia Episkopis on 15 August, the celebration of Agios Ioannis in Perissa on 29 August. The feast of Agii Epta Pedes (Seven Sleepers) takes place on 4 August, in a small cave-cut chapel in Finikia, right above the caldera, and can be accessed only by boat. Traditional weddings take place in summertime in Akrotiri, while Easter celebrations in Santorini are an unforgettable experience. During the Epitaph procession in Pyrgos, torches are lit up on all alleys. During Easter, women make melitinia, sweet pastries with fresh unsalted skimmed-milk cheese. The traditional sugarplums are served at weddings, sweets made of almonds boiled in local honey – an exquisite experience for the palate! ONLY IN SANTORINI The view as the ferry approaches the island is breathtaking. A steep reddish-black rock of 300 metres – the caldera walls – stands imposing. And as the ferry approaches, human presence can be discerned – small houses and blue church domes – an impressive sight! Don't miss the chance to walk the route Fira-Firostefani-Imerovigli-Oia. The view to the caldera is unique in the world. Let's go to Therasia… Only a stone's throw away!!! 83
