Discover the Hidden Treasures of Santorini with an Expert's Eye
This is the black-and-white edition. A full-color edition and other books in the series are also available.
This is not just another travel guide to the Greek islands.
Through an engaging travel story and a rich collection of black-and-white photographs accompanied by concise historical and architectural insights, this book unveils the well-known and hidden gems of one of Greece's most iconic yet least explored islands-Santorini.
While Santorini is celebrated for its breathtaking caldera and the sunset at Oia, its wealth of cultural treasures often goes unnoticed. This book fills that gap, guiding you through its extraordinary heritage.
Inside, you will discover:
- Some of the best-preserved medieval fortified settlements in the Aegean
- Churches adorned with exotic and enigmatic decorations
- Picturesque chapels that dot the landscape
- Traditional cave dwellings carved into volcanic soil, untouched by tourism
- One of the world's finest prehistoric cities-the Greek Pompeii
- The legendary volcano believed to have inspired the myth of Atlantis
Even though these treasures are presented as part of a hiking tour, you don't need to hike to experience them-many can be reached by car.
