8 Days in Santorini

Best Seller 2016-2017-2018!

Santorini is maybe the only place on earth that you feel that you have stepped into a postcard.

Learn all about the celebrated wines of Santorini, their history and evolution, and the unique microclimate of this ancient, volcanic island.

Aegean Flavours takes you on a healthy Mediterranean diet trip. Hands-on classes will help you discover the local cuisine and wines. We are committed to ensuring your culinary experience while visiting Santorini is unforgettable. Santorini is about food, wine, and lifestyle.

Santorini is also identified with Atlantis. This is the story about a prosperous land that disappeared without a trace, sunk into the sea by the anger of gods. In similar versions, it occurs in many civilizations. The classical Atlantis story, however, the one where the name Atlantis is used, is the one told by the Ancient Greek philosopher Plato in two of his dialogues, Kritias and Timaeus.

In Plato's version, it is not an objective report of events, but rather a moral tale that uses the story of - true or invented - events in the background. As a consequence, when it comes to interpreting the story as a report, it is not ambiguous. One of the most debated questions has always been the location of the place Plato might have referred to. Many serious investigators think that the source of the legend is actually the Minoan eruption of Santorini.
