As you enter the caldera of Santorini by ferry sheer cliffs rise up
dramatically, exposing richly coloured rock strata, crowned by the
colored houses of the cliff-top settlements. Equally magnificent is
the sunset from the heights of the caldera towards the sea and the
remnants of prehistoric rounded island Strogyli, Thirasia, the New
and Old Kameni. However, there is more than the visual excitement
to discover and if you don?t take the time to walk the island you
will have learnt little of Santorini. The new Anavasi map will take
hiking in every corner, beach and hill top of Santorini and
Thirassia to discover landscapes with visible signs of the
traditional rural culture, with orchards stonewalls, threshing
floors, huts, chapels, inland villages with a well preserved
medieval core (called Castelo), routes with wonderful vistas, lost
beaches quiet even in the heart of summer. The new map is double in
size and scale than the previous version, that means more
information and detail. On the reverse side of the map, there is a
brief description of the 25 proposed hiking routes and a short
guide of the two islands, Santorini and Thirassia.
