Who could have known that an odd – shaped island group in the southern Aegean Sea holds so much history. Santorini, along with Therasia and Aspronisi, form the biggest island remains of the once circular volcanic island crater Strongyli, or Kallisti, according to the ancients, was ravaged by an eruption in the second millennium B.C. which caused the subsequent decline of the Minoan civilization of Crete.
The island group of Santorini is habitable to this day, and many tourists flock to it from abroad who wish to see the remains of not only the island, but to also travel to the volcanic craters of Palea and Nea Kameni which have shown volcanic activity in both the ancient times and in more recent years.
Santorini itself of the self – titled, or more precisely, Thira, named so by a Spartan colonization leader, is the crown jewel of the island group and is dotted with a great number of santorini boutique hotels that offer accommodation and unique wordliness to the people who wish to stay and live out the experience of summer holidays of such a place. A vast majority of those santorini boutique hotels also provide a hospitable retreat to couples who are either choosing them as a destination for their honeymoon or have decided to visit the island and get married there.
An idyllic island rich in history and sensations, Santorini and its santorini boutique hotels now await you to experience them yourself, and gift yourself a journey there.
