Regardless of Greece's crisis, the olives remain just as tasty, the water just as blue, and the sun — like the Greek people — just as warm. I fell in love with the island of Santorini over six years ago. Every summer I went back my knowledge of the island grew - where the best places are to stay, the best restaurants, the best tours, the best car and bike rentals, the list goes on. Who better to a

rrange your perfect Santorini holiday than somebody who year after year experienced something new and mingled with the locals? Over the years people would contact me to ask about their holiday, and over time I was getting so many requests, decided to put my travel experience to use and start my own booking agency. What is unique about me, is that everything I recommend to clients I've experienced over the years as a tourist myself. This is why I can tailor your holiday to suit your needs and budget. Whether it be luxury or budget accommodation - I've stayed in both and can pass on my first hand knowledge of the service and area. Bookings are made directly between yourself, the hotels and tour operators, giving you security as I know these businesses are legit and operating successfully on the island. I am always available while you're on holiday to answer any questions and/or point you in the right direction for anything you may need. I want you to experience and love the island as much as I have, and what better person to advise than somebody who has lived it, breathed it, experienced it - and last but not least love it! I will connect you directly with the hotels, tour operators and guides, so you pay them, not me.

Santorini, Greece

The islands in this photograph (taken from the International Space Station) are arranged in an oval shape. They are all that remains of what was once a large, circular volcano.

The largest island in the ring is the tourist mecca of Santorini (also known as Thira), while the other islands are Thirasia and Aspronisi. The three pieces are what remains after an enormous eruption destroyed most of a volcanic island. Water from the Aegean Sea rushed in to fill the void, forming the central, 12 kilometer-long (7.5 mile) lagoon.

The lagoon is surrounded by high, steep cliffs on three sides. Several towns occupy the top of these impressive, near-vertical cliffs (roughly 300 meters, or 1,000 feet), appearing as white stipple patterns from the traditional whitewash paint that is almost exclusively used on these islands.

Santorini is one of the most famous tourist islands on Earth. Ships arrive at the bottom of the cliffs near the town of Fira. Tourists then climb a switchback road up the cliffs to the town—a classic Greek village on a cliff face looking out into the great lagoon.

West of Fira, the water has a darker, ruffled texture from wind streaking across the lagoon on the downwind side of the islands. The wake of a boat also appears between Thirasia and Aspronisi.

The caldera explosion that made this lagoon is one of the largest known to geologists. An estimated 100 cubic kilometers of material blew out of the volcano, four times as much as the well-recorded eruption by Krakatoa in 1883. Santorini has been designated a “Decade Volcano” because it poses more than one volcanic hazard to people living near it.

The date of the Santorini explosion has been carefully researched and is now known to have taken place between 1600 and 1627 BCE. Archaeological excavations at the town of Akrotiri are revealing exciting remains of a Minoan-age town with streets, three-story houses, and frescoes well preserved under ash layers, much like those preserved at Pompeii.

Since the volcano is still active, the central peak has grown and then erupted repeatedly. Nea Kameni is the most recent peak of the underwater volcano to appear above water (popping up in 1707). There have been three eruptions in the twentieth century alone. Recent lava flows appear as dark-toned areas, compared with the lighter-toned surfaces of the older outer islands.
