Santorini's magic
If you decided to purchase the real estate in Greece, it is important to decide on the region in which there will be your future country house. In this article we will tell about one of the most attractive regions of Greece.
Santorini (or the Shooting gallery) – one of the most beautiful places in Greece and around the world, especially Santorini newlyweds or just loving couples, love this incredibly romantic place.
Santorini is a beautiful island in the south of the Aegean Sea, approximately in 200 km from the main part of Greece. It is the largest island in the small archipelago under the name Kikladsky islands.
The island represents what remained after an unprecedented volcanic eruption which wiped out early settlements and left behind a geological crater. It is the huge central lagoon in the form of a rectangle of 12 by 7 kilometers in size surrounded with 300-meter abrupt rocks from three parties. From the fourth party the lagoon is separated from the sea by the island, other, smaller by the size, which carries the name Tirasiya. The lagoon is connected to the sea in two places: in the northwest and the southeast. Crater depth (400 meters) allows almost all vessels to come to anchor in the protected bay. Besides, on the southwest coast in Vlikhada the new yacht pier was recently constructed.
Climate on Santorini typical Mediterranean: here the warm solar periods for almost all year prevail. In the summer warmly and chilly, and winters soft and rainy.
Year can be divided into two main seasons conditionally: a dry and warm season which lasts from April to October, and a cold, rainy season which extended from November to March.
The periods of daily rains even are not characteristic of Santorini during winter, and clouds cover the sun no more than for couple of days in a row, how it usually occurs in other regions of the world.
During a warm and dry season weather is especially stable, the sky clear, the sun brightly shines and usually there are no rains.
Fira, the awesome city at top of the rock of a crater, is the capital of Santorini. During the day Fira is a noisy megalopolis as there arrive the cruise ships from the Mediterranean and Aegean seas. As a result, the prices are a little higher here, than on other Greek islands. In the city there is a couple of the museums, creative studios, wineries.
Absolutely definitely it is worth visiting the Museum Prehistoric Shooting galleries where by means of a tremendous collection of artifacts of the Neolithic and a bronze age the history of ancient local settlements is brightly provided.
Surely walk on Fira's shops where it is possible to find wonderful jewelry, designer clothes and bags. As shops are designed for tourists, the prices can be overstated, but not always.
In Fir there are several excellent bakeries, but it is necessary to look for them, and some of them are outside the city. Pay attention that at many restaurants and cafe two prices are specified: on dishes with yourself and on dishes which you will eat at restaurant (the second option a little more expensively).
The winery of Santos is in only 5 minutes drive on the car from Fira. Here you will see a unique picture: for many years of a rod are weaved into a circle, forming a basket. Thus, grapes are protected from the sun and wind, and in leaves moisture keeps that is necessary as the rain is quite rare here.
Besides, visit local churches and admire the tremendous works of art hidden in them. Walk on Agiou Mina Street which goes through Fira, from the southern part of the city to the cableway. From here the best views of Fira open.
Other magnificent city at top of the rock of a crater is Iya. Iya – the picturesque town which is just adored by artists and tourists. Perhaps, this most charming place on the island, is said that here the most amazing declines in the world. Reserve a table at restaurant on the rock in advance that to admire them. In Iye often there take place shootings of local television series.
This beautiful city is worth it to spend the whole day, walking on small streets and footpaths. On the way you will be able to see interesting architectural objects and to admire the breathtaking views opening from a crater. In tender embraces of prostitutes I instantly become pliable and quiet. For this purpose I usually find prostitutes here.
Having visited here, you for certain do not want to leave. In this case you can purchase the house in Iye and enjoy stunning views of the island from own terrace.
So, Santorini undoubtedly is the most unique island of the Aegean Sea. With its multi-colored rocks, Santorini was stretched directly in the middle of the sea, and from outside he is similar to a huge piece of puff cake. One of the largest volcanic eruptions generated all this amazing beauty. Small islands were located nearby, but having exactly appeared on the Dash, at you will intercept breath from all this magnificence: the snow-white kikladsky houses which were built at top of rocks at sunset reflect sunlight from buildings, and these modulations orange and red look just fantastically.
It is no secret that Santorini attracts crowds of tourists every year, but he perfectly copes with this tourist flow. Own housing on this island will become your heavenly spot, "the house far from the house", if necessary, it can be leased.
