Thirasia is a small island close to Santorini. Actually, Thirasia was part of Santorini until a strong eruption. It is very close to Oia, but still remains a separate world. About 300 people live in Thirasia, which is often said to look like Santorini in the past.
I was fascinated by this island from the first day in Santorini: it is a constant presence wherever you are on the caldera side of the island but still looks so indipendent from the rest. Its isolation from the main island also isolated Thirasia from the touristic success of Santorini. Power and water were connected recently! We found out that there are daily guided boat trip to the volcano crater and to Thirasia, and we could not miss it! After visiting the crater, the boat brought us to Thirasia. We only had the time to eat some excellent food in the port, and to climb the stairs (similar to the ones that connect Fira to the Fira port) up to the main city on the island, which ended up to be almost desert at that time of the day. The charm of the island still attracts me, I found out there is a hotel on the island... Address: ThirasiaDirections: Part of the sunken volcano rim
