The Santorini Story

Ancient Times - Minoan Civilization: Santorini was originally called Thera and was home to the advanced Minoan civilization at Akrotiri. Around 1600 BC, a massive volcanic eruption preserved this Bronze Age city in volcanic ash, creating one of the world's most important archaeological sites.

Classical Era - Greek Settlement: After the volcanic eruption, the island was resettled by ancient Greeks around the 9th century BC. The island became an important trading post and naval base, strategically positioned in the Aegean Sea routes.

Medieval Period - Byzantine Heritage: During Byzantine rule, Santorini became known for its religious significance and monastery construction. The island's strategic location made it a crucial stop for ships traveling between Constantinople and the Mediterranean.

Venetian Rule - Architectural Legacy: Under Venetian control (13th-16th centuries), the island was renamed Santorini after Saint Irene. This period saw the construction of iconic fortress towns and the development of the island's distinctive architectural style.

Modern Era - Tourism Paradise: Santorini has become the world's most photographed Greek island, attracting millions of visitors seeking its dramatic volcanic landscapes, world-famous sunsets, and pristine Aegean waters perfect for water adventures.
