Santorini Hotel" Lost Atlantis"
The island of Santorini is probably the most intriguing
island of Greece. Simply its name is more than enough to
unfold in mind stunning sunsets and scenery, white, red and
black sand beaches, impressive traditional houses, balconies
with view to the Volcano and and lively night life. All the
above, along with the remains of the antiquity and the myth
of the Lost Atlantis justify the words which the tourists
determine this wonderful island.
The fame of the Santorini Caldera
View is based on the 85 meter (300 feet) high cliff that many of the island's
villages are built to perch on top of, offering a sea view as far as the eye
can see. The cliff is the wall of the submerged volcano crater caused by the
cataclysmic eruption of this volcano around 3000 BC. In addition to creating
the best views of the Aegean Sea for present day visitors to enjoy, this
eruption also caused the demise of the Minoan civilization.
Steeped in history, Santorini has
plenty of archaeological sites to visit including the ruins of Ancient Thira, Akrotiri and the Venetian fortress
at Pirgos.
Santorini also offers unique accommodation, inspired by the distinct
Santorinian-style, and on the south side of the island there are beautiful
beaches with many beach sports and activities available. On the highest peak of
Santorini is a monastery of the Prophet Elijah (Profitis Ilias), where there is
a picturesque religious feast on 20 July each year.
