Risen from a
volcano in preistorica age, the island has assumed its current shape in XV the century,
when one terrible earthquake has conferred them the typical shape to mezzaluna of the
crater by now extinguished. The landscape is consequently evocative: black cliffs
rossastre and are alternated to spiagge laviche and fumarole, impressive falesie adorned
from chiesette defended sink in blue waters. Thira, the capoluogo, rises to peak on the
sea to an altitude of 260 meters and is raggiungibile through one colorful perron,
traditionally covered to mule back. Dedalo of the its narrow lanes, old quarter of
Frangomahala and the whitest houses to time dug in the vulcanica stone and scramble up on
precipices of the " Caldera ", are melted harmoniously in the unmistakable
sunsets, than they have rendered it celebre in all mondo.Poco the distant is possible to
visit famous murali paintings of minoica age of Akrotiri, recently brought back to the
light after to be remained buried for centuries as a result of a vulcanica eruption. The
coast sweetened and sabbiosa oriental: beautiful spiagge of black sand or dark pebbles
they are reflected in the crystalline sea, colorandone the fondali of one tonality color
liquirizia. Kumari and Perissa are sure the localities beautifulr than this drawn of
coast, but, returned to Thira, it is worth always the pain to catch up in boat the
isolotti of Palea Kameni, Nea Kameni and Thirassia. |
