ISLAND HOLIDAYS GREECE ~ SANTORINI ISLAND GREECE

~ Saint Irene the Greek Island in the Cyclades Greece ~ Thera or Thira

Santorini is well know as the Greek Island who's volcano erupted around 1500bc. Before the eruption Santorini was a circular island when the volcano erupted it took with it the centre of the island and now you see a semi circular island with a few rocks still poking out of the sea here and there.

The volcanic eruption was on a huge scale and is blamed for the demise of the Minoan civilisation on Crete. The island of Crete is south of Santorini and was apparently hit by a huge wall of water and probably the fall out of the volcano itself. If you visit north Crete, you can see evidence of volcanic ash and rock around the north coast of Crete.

Excavations around the town of Akrotiri have unearthed evidence of an early Minoan society on Santorini as well. Please bear in mind that if you hire a car and take it off road Santorini, that the underneath may not be insured if you damage it on rocks or a rough road! A bike is a good idea to hire and if you decide to hire a bike on Santorini, please insist on a helmet and go very carefully as off road is obviously dangerous and the roads can get slippy in the heat.

Santorini Greek Island Greece Summer ~ It's already warming up on Santorini Greece the hottest Greek Island, preparations are under way for the summer tourist season. Why would you choose Santorini as your Greek holiday island destination? Santorini offers the best sunsets on any of the Greek Islands. The houses cling to the sides of the sheer drop caused by the volcano erupting causing the centre of the island to disappear into the sea and has been blamed for the demise of the Minoan society on Crete, south of Santorini Island Greece.

When I passed through Santorini for the first time it was an awsome experience for me. Yearning to go to Santorini Island for years, finally I was there. A strange feeling came over me as the boat approached the island almost like I felt an echo or was passing through time. Santorini's aura is as awsome as the view you will see as you approach the Greek Island of Santorini. My only regret is that I had not allowed enough time to fully explore this beautiful and so unusual Greek Island. I am planning on returning to Santorini soon in the future. I look forward to experiencing the atmosphere of the most dramatic of all the Greek Islands. I hope you enjoy the wonderful sunsets on the most romantic hot islands in Greece.

Although you have waited all winter to obtain your holiday tan, the wise one's among you will use a higher factor sun cream during the extremely hot days, this will not make you tan less, it will actually make you tan more and avoid 3-4 days of not being able to sit in the sun at all!

A 5* Santorini island Cruise? An excellent idea! Travel by boat or plane is inexpensive and frequent in Greece and even in the height of the summer holiday season, you will always be able to find self catering accommodation or rooms for rent relatively easily! So go for it and see more of Greece than just Santorini Island

The sea around the islands of Greece and Crete are usually very clean and clear, there are times of the year when jellyfish swim close to the beaches, so it's always worth checking before leaping into the sea! There are also times when black bin bags wash in with the tide, to see one such beach click here!

Here are a few links to typical Greek bars, Greek tavernas & photos of Greek scenery. More will be added as I tour the Greek Islands including Santorini Greece & Crete collecting great photos and making new Greek friends!

Looking to resettle in Santorini Greece or on Crete? Buying a house sometimes is easy with a good Greek estate agents helping you, you can buy businesses, bars, restaurants, houses new or old, renovated or derelect in the ancient villages of Santorini Greece. Plenty of businesses for sale on Santorini Island, Crete has many ancient villages to renovate a house to your style or retain the fantastic Greek style.
