Information

The Legend of Atlantis…

"Now in this island of Atlantis there was a great and wonderful empire which had rule over the whole island and several others, and over parts of the continent . . . But, there occurred violent earthquakes and floods, and in a single day and night of misfortune . . . the island of Atlantis . . . disappeared in the depths of the sea."
Plato (427-347 BC)

The legend of Atlantis was presented to us by Plato and seems to be half history and half imagination. Very often the destruction of Thera is identified with the sinking of mythical Atlantis. The real fact of the submergence of Santorini or other islands in the Aegean Sea during an eruption of the volcano, together with the imagination or wish for a Perfect City may explain the legend.

Nevertheless ...
Welcome to Santorini, the most beautiful and mysterious of the Greek islands.
