Kalimera and a Happy New Year!

I wish you all to (re)visit the island this year, regardless of the season! I know you want it because there is never enough Santorini in your memories, in your soul or in your heart!

One of the most anticipated events for this year is the launch of the movie "The Odyssey" and, beside the long waiting for such a cinematic experience with this topic, there is the pride and joy of having the music of Santorini-based artist Yannis Pantazis on the soundtrack of this film. For the moment here is the first trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajf_2LMRhFw . Enjoy!

The trauma of Santorini 69 years later

On July 9, 1956, the largest earthquake of the 20th century occurred in Europe. The 7.8 richters shook the Southern Aegean, flattening almost Santorini. The disaster was completed by the 7.2 Richter earthquake that followed 12 minutes later.
The two earthquakes cost the lives of 53 people and seriously injured more than 100 residents. 1956 was undoubtedly a landmark year in the history of Santorini. July 9th is deeply engraved in the memory of the inhabitants and on the island we will always see the aftermath of that frightening earthquake.
It's been almost 70 years and residents are still trying to heal this "trauma," many times trying to forget how it happened. The only certain thing is that we cannot ignore it or forget it even after so many years.

Το τραύμα της Σαντορίνης 69 χρόνια μετά
09 | 07 | 1956

Στις 9 Ιουλίου του 1956 σημειώθηκε ο μεγαλύτερος σεισμός του 20ου αιώνα στην Ευρώπη. Τα 7.8 ρίχτερ συγκλόνισαν το Νότιο Αιγαίο, ισοπεδώνοντας σχεδόν τη Σαντορίνη. Την καταστροφή ολοκλήρωσε ο μετασεισμός των 7.2 ρίχτερ που ακολούθησε 12 λεπτά αργότερα.
Οι δυο σεισμοί κόστισαν τη ζωή σε 53 ανθρώπους και τραυμάτισαν σοβαρά περισσότερους από 100 κατοίκους. To 1956 αποτέλεσε αναμφισβήτητα μια χρονιά ορόσημο για την ιστορία της Σαντορίνης. Η 9η Ιουλίου είναι βαθιά χαραγμένη στη μνήμη των κατοίκων και στο νησί θα βλέπουμε πάντα τα αποτελέσματα αυτού του τρομακτικού σεισμού.
Έχουν περάσει σχεδόν 70 χρόνια και οι κάτοικοι προσπαθούν ακόμα να επουλώσουν αυτό το «τραύμα», πολλές φορές προσπαθώντας να ξεχάσουν πως έχει συμβεί. Το μόνο σίγουρο είναι πως δεν μπορούμε να το αγνοήσουμε η να το ξεχάσουμε ακόμα και αν πέρασαν τόσα χρόνια.

I guess about half of you - friends and followers - have been to Faros Market in southern Santorini while on tour with me in different years and you let Maria enticed you with her famous home-made goodies!

During the years Maria became a real staple and even more today any journey to Faros should have a compulsory stop by her family's authentic farm!

But recently she was featured in a famous gastronomy show where she cooks fava, so if you miss her, her family and their extraordinary tasty products, check the link below:
