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...

    Thirasia: Traditional village of Manolas in Thirassia
    Thirassia is an island off Santorini which is part of the sunken volcanic rim. It is accessible by boat. If you take the volcano tour, it will include a lunch stop at Thirassia and an opportunity for you to take a donkey up to the traditional village of Manolas where the residents live a laid back life minus the commercialisation seen in Fira and Oia. The donkey ride costs 4 Euros one way. Take the donkey up and walk down. Do give yourself 20 minutes to walk down from the top of the zigzag stairs to the port.

    Thirasia: Visiting Palia and Nea Kameni Islands
    Visit the islands in the middle of the Caldera, Palia and Nea Kameni. These surfaced many centuries after the ancient eruption. Palia during the first seven centuries A.D., and Nea from the 16th century to 1950. You’ll wander in the moon-like surface, you’ll smell the sulfur, look at the black crystalline rocks, and perhaps dive in the green-brown warm waters near the hot springs. Hop on a sailboat at the Fira harbor – there’s one every hour.

    i visited this town and styed there for a couple of hours. The town is a steep zig-zag climb from where the boat docks, but if you are not up to it, you can jump on the back of a donkey for a small fee
