The history of Santorini’s sister island
The Island You Must Discover
Once upon a time, the Stroggyli – or as it is known today, Santorini, was a round, flourishing island in the heart of the Aegean Sea. The volcanic eruption that devastated the island circa 1600 BC sunk most of it deep in the sea, leaving the caldera isles – Santorini, Thirassia, and Aspronisi behind.
Modern-day Thirassia
Thirassia continued its slow-paced life to the present, and even contributed to the world’s evolution, as its volcanic limestone was mined to build the Suez Canal. Delve into the colourful history of Thirassia, and explore its beauty, where the past and the present merge into a haven of calmness just for you.
