Santorini is one of the most popular islands not only in Greece but also in the whole world. Next to it there is her small and unknown copy or her little sister, if we can call it that, Thirasia. A small and special island of the Cyclades that was once one with Santorini.<\/strong> Thirasia<\/strong> is not as touristic and developed as Santorini but has a special place in the hearts of those who visit it. The images from the video below explain why.<\/p>\n

There you will enjoy the wild beauty, the special volcanic landscape and a peaceful atmosphere that Santorini cannot offer you, especially during the period with intense tourist traffic. A small unadulterated paradise worth visiting.<\/p>\n

\"Thirasia\"<\/p>\n

The deserted settlement of Kera also makes an impression and awe on the island, forming a complex of cave houses, creating rare images for Greece. If you love hiking on the islands, then Thirasia will definitely not disappoint you. There are several routes to do and enjoy breathtaking views.<\/p>\n
