2022年11月29日 · From Thirasia you get an amazing view of Santorini’s caldera. But Thirasia has its own dramatic caldera wall with the main town of Manolas perched on top. There are a number of churches on the island, about 1 for every 10 inhabitants!

Explore the unspoiled beauty of Thirassia island near Santorini. The whitewashed houses & the wild beauty of the volcanic black earth will seduce you.

The island of Thirassia is located adjacent to Santorini; in fact, it was once a part of it. The volcanic eruption that occurred at around 1500 BC snapped Santorini off and Thirassia emerged. Nowadays, Thirassia is a virgin island, still untouched by tourism and modern lifestyle.

Unlike the crowded streets of Santorini, Therasia retains a more traditional, slow-paced charm. Whitewashed houses, narrow cobbled paths, and colorful churches dot the island, giving visitors a feel of authentic Cycladic architecture.

2022年11月23日 · The Thirasia island showed me the authentic local Greek life in an idyllic landscape. Unlike the touristic villages Oia, Imerovigli, and Fira on Santorini, Thirasia is an overlooked village on the second largest island of the volcanic Santorini island group.

Trek up to the Thirasia Caldera, a volcanic crater, to witness awe-inspiring views of Santorini and the surrounding islands. The hiking trails offer breathtaking vistas, picturesque villages, and an opportunity to immerse yourself in the island’s natural beauty.

Thirasia has no sandy beaches at all but there are a few strips covered with dark volcanic stones where you can sunbath and swim. Just next to the port of Agia Irini is the only beach with sunbeds and parasols in the island, and the nearby Riva beach is a narrow strip backed up by rocks.

Thirasia (sometimes spelled with two "s" as Thirassia) is the second largest island of the Santorini archipelago, but its importance is not even close to that of the main island itself. Thirasia has about 300 permanent inhabitants who still live a traditional way of life, mainly fishing.
