Thira, also known as Santorini, is an island in the southern part of the Aegean Sea off of Greece’s mainland. The island is known for its previously violent volcanic activity, but is now a favorable tourist destination.
Because it is an island, there are an abundance of boat tours, sailing, diving excursions, and more. You can also pay a visit to the dormant Santorini volcano, which has spectacular views. If you’re looking to get acquainted with local life, there are many pubs and taverns to help you immerse yourself with the local people and cuisine. Don’t forget to visit one of Thira’s wineries to take a tour and taste some of Greece’s many fine wines! Most of the wineries have great views and atmospheres, and they are worth the time of any visitor that truly wants to experience Greek life.
Thira is a beautiful and quiet place to spend your vacation, whether you’re interested in Greek culture or just the spectacular views that are available to enjoy anywhere on the island.
