www.thirasia.gr CHAT ROOM “Therasia” It's so close to here, how different can it be? It's really something else. Like another version of the same story. Therasia is peaceful, truly calm. Just what I want. I guess it has warm people, great places, good food. You'll love it. Besides, it's at the centre of the best and most famous view in the Aegean Sea. Get recommendations Therasia is so close and yet so far from Santorini. Although part of the same island, Therasia has a different air from Santorini; it's calmness and simplicity make its beauty even more fascinating. It's really worth visiting the place that everyone admires from Oia. How to get there Daily ferries or fast boats to Santorini will take you to the port of Athinio, where boats sail to Riva and Korfos in Therasia. Frequent itineraries link Ammoudi in Oia with Riva and Korfos (a journey of 15 minutes). There are also ferry connections with Piraeus at least twice a week. 84
T H E R A S I A Therasia has the same geological history and common architecture as Santorini, and the residents of both islands have common customs and traditions.

The whitewashed houses with the colourful small gardens – alitanes -, the wild beauty of the brown and black earth, shrubby vegetation, the rocky sculptures created by the volcano, the wind and the waves, and the harmonious contrast of the aquamarine waters make this simple island a scenery of total serenity and relaxation, an ideal refuge for all those who want to escape the pressure of urban life. The settlements of Therasia, which together with Oia in Santorini form a single community, are populated by approximately 300 residents, mainly fishermen and farmers. Part of a long history 2 Therasia is a 9km piece of land that was detached from the ancient island of Strongyli after the tremendous eruption in 1650 BC. It is located in the northwest part of the caldera at a distance of less than one mile from Oia, forming the round shape of the ancient island together with Santorini and Aspronisi. As evidenced by the archaeological finds (remains of buildings, ceramic vessels), Therasia participated in the impressive prehistoric civilization of Strongyli during the 2nd millennium BC, which was destroyed by the 85
