Santorini was created in the middle of the sea from a scary explosion of a volcano 80.000 years ago. In the period of Copper (1900-1600 B.C.) it was named Strongili (round) – because of its round form and presented an impressive culture. The settlement of Akrotiri, which reached its peak at the first half of the 2nd millennium B.C., constitutes the main and richest source of information on the culture of prehistoric Thira.

A settlement built in a preferential place, on the highest point of the caldera, in an altitude of 300 m. between Fira and Oia.
This settlement has been characterized as preserved. The authentic Cycladic architecture with which houses of the village are built and the amazing views, do not leave  any of its visitors untouched .

Santorini, with its unique combination of ground and climate, produces products with a particular quality and flavour. The Local fava is the raw material for many tasty foods (mash, meatballs and soups) and the “tomatokeftedes” with the arid tomato of Santorini are amazing! Another tasty local dish is the salted “apokti”.
