The volcano is still active, and the last eruption was in 1950, causing an earthquake which destroyed many villages on the island. The island's official name is Thira and its main town, Fira, is also the capital of the Cyclades islands. Santorini became from the local “Santa Irini”. Oia (Ia) Village is one of the most beautiful villages of the island, carved out of the cliffs and clinging to the edge. The architecture is amazing and is highlighted by the stark white of the buildings and the contrasting colorful doors and window shutters. It has often been compared to the eagle's nest! Enjoy the panoramic view of caldera, the volcano, Thirassia Island, and the rest of Santorini looking back toward the capital, Fira.

CYCLADES 1 WEEK Dazzling White Villages, Golden Beaches and Clear Azure Water Are Just the Start of What These Islands Have to Offer
Hermes Yachting P.C. 92-94 Kolokotroni str., 18535 Piraeus, Greece Tax No. EL801434127 Tel. +30 210 4110094 E-mail: [email protected] Web: www.hermesyachting.com CYCLADES 1 WEEK Dazzling white villages, golden beaches and clear azure water are just the start of what these islands have to offer. Within easy reach of Athens, these are the Aegean’s most precious gems. Ancient Greek geographers gave this unique cluster of islands the name Cyclades because they saw that they formed a circle (kyklos) of sorts around the sacred island of Delos. According to myth, the islands were the debris that remained after a battle between giants. In reality, they resulted from colossal geological events like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Their colours are blue and white like the Greek flag. The islands come in all sizes and, though the ingredients are the same – incomparable light, translucent water, heavenly beaches, lustrous white buildings and bare rock, each one has its own distinct character. The group’s stars, Mykonos and Santorini, need no introduction but the lesser-known islands, big and small, are just as rewarding. For starters, try aristocratic Syros, cosmopolitan Paros, the sculptors’ paradise of Tinos, bountiful Naxos, exotic Milos and historic Delos, not to mention the ‘hidden gems’ that adorn the Aegean, such as Tzia/Kea, Kythnos, Sifnos, Serifos, Amorgos, Sikinos, Anafi and Folegandros. Whether you’re travelling with your family, friends or sweetheart, you’re bound to find your summer paradise in the sun in the Cyclades. Beaches of indescribable beauty in the Cyclades What’s your idea of the perfect beach? Green-blue water and white sand? Beach bars and water sports? Framed by rocks for snorkelling and scuba diving? Is a secret Aegean cove accessible only on foot or by boat? No matter what your ideal is, you’ll find it in the Cyclades.

D. Reader: Wayne Durrill, Ph. D. History Abstract: The inspiration for this thesis arose out of a summer spent in 2004 on the island of Santorini as part of the University of Cincinnati’s Sustainable Development Program. While on this enchanting island, this author couldn’t help but notice the oddly beautiful vineyards that were growing in soil that looked no different from the surface of the moon, nor indulge in a few glasses of wine produced from grapes grown under the incessant pounding heat of a hundred-degree sun. Much to my surprise, the wine had a most fascinating taste unlike anything I had never experienced before. Yet, as the days passed on the island, and I took in more sights of its interesting vineyards on terraces or on hills, and I experienced more of its wine. I became quite shocked with what I witnessed and tasted.

THE GREEK ISLES a Cultural Journey 13 Days Created On: 29 Sep, 2021
Tour Code OAGR THE GREEK ISLES a Cultural Journey 13 days Created on: 29 Sep, 2021 Day 1 Arrival in Athens Welcome to Greece! Today we arrive in Athens, off-and-on the capital of Greece in its many incarnations over several thousand years. The city received a major facelift for the 2004 Olympics and is looking better than ever, with buildings and monuments cleaned and renovated, and newly created pedestrian areas near the Ancient Agora and Acropolis. Overnight in Athens. Meal Plan: Dinner, if required. Day 2 Athens: City Tour Today we enjoy a guided tour of Athens, the heart and soul of Greece.* A large part of the town's historic centre has been converted into a 3-kilometre pedestrian zone (the largest in Europe), leading to the major archaeological sites, reconstructing -- to a large degree -- the ancient landscape, ths allowing us to avoid the city's horrendous traffic. We start at the Acropolis (with hopes to beat the heat/crowds), near the site of the Dionysos Theatre. Constructed in the 6th century BC, it is one of the world's oldest theatres and the place where the great works of Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides and Aristophanes were first performed. We will also see a more recent theatre, the Odeon of Herod Atticus from the second century AD, which is still used for concerts and performances. Ascending to the top of the Acropolis, we will see magnificent buildings dating from the 5th century BC, the Golden Age of Athens. On the highest point on the Acropolis is the Parthenon, often considered the finest monument to Greek civilization.

Domaine Sigalas 7 Villages - Akrotiri
Domaine Sigalas 7 Villages - Akrotiri ! ! “Sigalas is one of Greece’s finest white wine producers--in fact, a short list candidate for the best. This producer is universally acclaimed for his skill with Assyrtiko of all types. He is simply a master with this grape." - Robert E. Parker's The Wine Advocate Founded in 1991, Sigalas wines were initially made at the converted Sigalas family home. In 1998 a new vinification, bottling and aging unit was built in a privately owned area of Oia, on the northern part of Santorini. Here the Santorini Assyrtiko as well as the Aidani, Athiri, Mandilaria and Mavrotragano va- rietals thrive. The vineyards for these varietals are considered the oldest continuously cultivated vine- yards in the world, over 3000 years. The volcanic soils and climate of the viticulture area are the most unique and this "terrior" cannot be replicated anywhere else in the world. This is indeed a very special place. The 7 Villages Collection was designed to highlight the differences even at a village level of the excep- tional Santorini Assyrtiko. These are bottling of 100% Assyrtiko from vineyards in 7 different vil- lage, specifically, Akrotiri, Fira, Imerovigli, Megalo- chori, Oia, Pyrgos and Vourvoulos. The 7 bottles are sold together as a set. Varietal Composition: 100% Assyrtiko Classification: PDO Santorini Vineyard Location: Akrotiri, 60+ year old vines Vinification: Typical white wine vinification techniques in stainless steel tanks un- der controlled temperature. The wine remains on its lees for 12 month in tank. Alcohol: 13.0% Total Acidity: 7.4gr/l pH: 2.84 www.diamondwineimporters.com.
