Santorin (île grecque)

Santorin the Brillant

The greek gods created sumptuous and fascinating islands in the dazzling blue of the Mediterranean. The Cyclades offers one of the most beautiful landscapes on the planet, sparkling stars in the sea, shaped by man and myth since antiquity. Among these isles, Santorini is one of the most legendary.

Born from a violent volcanic eruption, it projects you into a grand and sublime panorama. When the boat approaches the spectacular cliffs rising 120 meters above the waves, the vista strikes the memory. Traditional villages of blazing white cling to these steep slopes by some miracle, creating a fabulous tableau.

Take the dizzying roads for splendid views and a magnificent sample of architectural heritage. The village of Santorini is illuminated by its churches with their renowned blue domes, emerging from the white washed buildings. At dusk, they cast a purple hue, bathed by reflections from the sea and the rosy rays of the setting sun. A mix of bright and pastel colors forms a unique spectacle.

The island of Santorini holds many surprises. On the other side, the slopes become gentler, leading to black sand and pebble beaches – perfect for a magical getaway. Wend your way through the lanes of Thira, the capital, with a great view of the Caldeira; discover Pyrgos, the highest village of the island; tour the archaeological site of Akrotiri and enjoy fresh fish in the little archetypal port of Ammoudi. Santorini offers a tang of contentment.
