Our trip to this volcanic island was not
an easy one. We knew it would not be easy, but Ines never thought it would be
so hot like this. She used to go any walking trip early but in this case Greeks
are starting their trips around 10.00 am the earliest. We went looking for the port to get on the sailing ship. We
decided not to take the cable cars, that's an easy option. Instead, we want to
walk down to the port. As in any other cases of walking in this terrain, we soon realised that this
was a bad idea.
it's quite beautiful view from
the island in the middle of the caldera. You can see the beatiful view around the crater and caldera.
Volcano in this island is very
much active. These islands are called Palaia Kameni and Nea kameni. //Palea
Kameni and Nea Kameni were formed as a result of multiple, initially submarine,
smaller eruptions at the centre of the caldera. Their last eruption was in
1950, and now only fumarolic activity, primarily inside the recently active
craters, takes place. GPS instruments registered renewed deformation around the
caldera in 2011 and 2012.- Wikipedia//
There are hot springs
with water full of sulphur. (You can smell it)
I could see only one tree or several bushes for the whole Island.
Mud bath.
There are three beach sides here. White, Red and black beaches. You can approach red and black beaches from the island side but to the white beach you can only go by a boat. Nicest and less crowded one is the white beach. You can swim quite far into the sea because it’s not that deep. The names are correspondent to the colours of the cliffs. The lava monoliths from the ancient volcano give these colours to the area.
The Red Beach of Santorini is without a doubt one of the most stunning and interesting beaches on the island, that stands out for its colour.
